Receiving unwanted calls and IMs on my Skype app

Please help! I'm being bombarded by calls and IMs from all kind of perverts even though in my settings it says "contacts only" everywhere. For some reason it happens on my smart phone Skype and not on my PC.

  • Iphone 5s cannot call out any calls, but still can receive incoming calls and sms

    Hi
    anyone experiencing this problem? After buying iphone 5s less than 2 months which I never did in the past, I could no longer make any phone calls out, yet i still can receive incoming calls and data.
    Could someone kindly assist in this? 

    Contact your carrier. Phone functions are a carrier responsibility. Have them check your account. Are you seeing any error messages?

  • IPhone 4 Can't receive incoming calls and sms after 3G has been activated

    I can't receive incoming calls and sms on my iPhone 4 after the 3G connection has been activated and used actively by me. Outgoing calls and messages do work and as long as I use the Wi-Fi connection everything's fine but the problem appears after switching to 3G. Any help? Thx in advance!  

    I think the next step is to do a reset by holding the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  If you haven't done this before, keep holding the buttons when the turn off slider appears.  The screen will go black and after what seems like an eternity, actually several seconds, the Apple logo will appear.  When the logo appears, release the buttons.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

  • When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7.

    When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7. Is there some setting to fix this? I thought the phones were set up identically.
    Thanks.

    Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.
    Best of luck.

    I receive Facetime call and when i accept the call. Nothing happen ! I often use Facetime with this friend without problems

    I'm having similar issues.  The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working.  I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects.  I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of.  It's driving me nuts!

  • Regarding blocking of unwanted calls and messages

    Hi tangra,

    As what plepleple posted, this feature is not supported by the phone. We also checked that no application can be downloaded that has this feature.

  • Skype not receiving incoming calls and messages- only when I sign in again will I receive

    My skype has been acting up after 7.6. Everytime someone calls me or messages me the first time it logs in, I wont receive a call or notification. Only when I sign out and sign back in will I get a notification saying I missed a call. But in the first place, I didn't even receive one. There was no pop up incoming call.  I also won't receive recent instant messages unless I repeatedly log in and outPlease help me find a solution. I've tried uninstaling and reinstalling 3 times already and the problem still persists . Thank you!

    Do any other SIM cards work in it ? Sounds like it could be blacklisted.
    Normally when a handset is blacklisted , you can send and receive SMS , but not make or receive calls.

  • New iphone and not receiving some calls and txt's....Y???

    I just got the phone yesterday and they put a new sim in the phone. Immediately began to work and used it for most of the day with no problem. Then around 5 started not receiving texts back from people and also not receiving phone calls. Now the texts come in very late. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes after they have been sent and the phone calls are heading straight to my voicemail and not even ringing. I need help! Is this a hardware problem on the phone? Sim problem with ATT? HELP!!! Thank You!

    You'll need to contact ATT about this. They handle the voice and text portion of the phone.

  • Problem making/receiving/disconnecting calls and p...

    I was looking for a new phone to replace my old Samsung Star, but I was unable to justify this expense. So, I saw Nokia Lumia 710 with it's GPS software and hardware as part of the package. Windows phone looks so beautiful that I just bought it last march, 23th.
    Now, verifying this forum I realize that my problem, some how, exists since January in Europe. As many people here I have problems to end a call, but in my case the call never completes and when I try to disconnect Lumia just does nothing beyond show "disconnecting" forever. The only way to recover control is turning Lumia off.
    Its true that my carrier has a very weak signal where I live (at my apartment), but my old Samsung at least make and receive calls. Some times I must move near to the window to have a better reception, but works. With Lumia, different from what I was expecting (a premium Nokia quality signal  - the best possible reception), some times just do not work! Some times people calls me and the phone do not ring. Some times I receive that screen offering me the opportunity to send a message like "I'm at a meeting" or something like that, but I do not have the opportunity to receive that call. This is very frequent since I bought this Nokia. Some times, when I make a call, Lumia pretend to call, pretend that the other person is connected, but, in fact, there is no calling sound. The phone remains mute all the time, there are no call. When I give up, I press "disconnect" and Lumia shows "disconnecting" but nothing happens. To recover phone control I must turn it off to try again. Once I was so angry that I press many buttons and Lumia freezes up completely and was needed to remove battery to turn off.
    About GPS, that was my main excuse to expend a lot of money on a new phone: Nokia Lumia GPS is disappointing. Lumia GPS looks like loose satellite signals very frequently. I decided to make a comparison between my Lumia and my wife's iPad. Working totally offline, side by side at my wife's lap, while iPad was able to show immediately every turn I make, Lumia takes long time to realize that. In fact, most of time, Lumia just realize that I turn when I was reaching next corner. I'm using Nokia drive 2 and, in this test, since I don’t have a GPS software at iPad, I just leave Lumia and iPad with the map showing our position. I do not set a destination.
    Finally, my last disappointment is about windows Phone and the “one account policy”. Really? They think people will be happy to give up from their messenger accounts or Xbox accounts to use Windows Phone? When I turn on my Lumia for the first time it asks me to enter or create a Microsoft account. I think about and I realize that I don’t want to add payment information to my very old Hotmail/messenger account, so, I create a new one. My mistake because soon I discover that Windows Phone do not let me choose a different account for Messenger or Xbox.
    I call Nokia in Brazil to find a solution for my two main problems: making/receiving calls and the GPS performance. The only solution they can think about was reset my phone. I do that a few hours ago. This time I choose to enter my Messenger account to be able to chat with my friends, but, of course, I loose my Xbox id created with the other account.
    “One account policy” is so “not smart” that is very hard to understand why they do that. The need to reset the device to choose another account is unbelievable. Mean while, with iPhone/iPad, to change accounts is so easy…
    I will test my phone for the next few days to verify if reset solve all my problems, but right now I’m very disappointed.
    (I hope you can understand my poor english).

    Reset Lumia 710 do not solved my problem. I was forced to send the device to technical support. Even if they was unable to reproduce the problems I faced at home, they did a flash reset (or something) and now my phone always ring when people call and I can end calls without a problem. For now those problems disappeared.

  • Receiving Unwanted Calls to Phone

    Hello. I am a part of a skype group that makes frequent personal skype group calls. I enjoy being a part of these and often join, but only when I am on my computer. I purposefully leave myself logged out (or rather, invisible, since this seems to be the only option) on skype on my andriod phone. However, each time a call to the group is made, my phone rings. This can happen incredibly often and is very frustrating for me. I don't want to remove the skype app, and I don't want to leave the group. Is there a way to stop all incoming calls to my cell phone?

    ...what?

  • After receiving a call and ending, it doesn't go back to the task you were on.

    After installing to ios7, my iphone 5 started to bring me to the "phone app" after receiving a call instead of the task I was on. For example, I would be on safari and I receive a call while on Safari, then, after hanging up, the phone would not go back to safari. Instead, it will open my "phone app". I've tried resetting my phone and it continues to do this. It's quite annoying. Has anyone else experienced this bug?

    Ok, don't press STOP, just press "menu" or "title" without pressing stop.
    BTW, I tested both a commercial DVD (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and and a iDVD disk in my Panosonic player and on my Mac with the Apple DVD player.
    On the Panosonic Player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen. If I press menu once and wait a sec or two, both DVDs go back to the main menu.
    On the Apple DVD player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen, and pressing "menu" gives me the "not permitted" warning for both DVDs.....
    So It seems like fro me, iDVD works just like the commercial DVD on both the Mac and the DVD player.....
