Recieving illegal soliciting calls from a skype

I am receiving illegal soliciting calls from a skype phone #. xxx xxx xxxx I called the # back to confirm it was in fact a real # and not one falsified for caller ID. With some research I found that the number was being supplied by Level 3 Communications which I contacted (Call Recorded). They informed me that Skype is using that phone # through them. There needs to be a way to contact Skype for these issues. If not it would seem that Skype is catering to these companies and taking an active part in their illegal operations by profiting from providing the service.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
The reason you can't make calls is because you are calling from the UAE which blocks all outbound VoIP traffic including Skype to protect the state monopoly. Accessing the internet using a VPN to avoid the block may assist.

Someone called my cell from my skype number

At 6 am today, I received a call from my Skype number on my cell phone. My Skype number showed under caller ID. I did not make the call as I was sleeping and was very surprised to see my Skype number on the caller ID. The only way I can figure this could happen is someone has my Skype Login and they know it belongs to me since they also had my cell phone to call. I didn't answer the phone at 6 and probably should have.
Does anyone have any idea how someone made this call? Has my account been hacked?

Just checked my skype account and it appears it was a forwarded call. I'm assuming someone/something called my skype-in number.
If I look at my usage, and then select "Show" "Call forwarded" I see a call yesterday referenced as "This call was forwarded from unknown"
Still strange that on my cell it shows up as my skype alias.

What if you have not received a call from Best Buy?

I've been reading these forums the last week and escpecially the last few days, and I see all these posts about how people are getting phone calls and setting up appointments for their iPhone4 but I have not yet recieved a phone call from anybody from best buy.. I went to the best buy mobile in yorktown shopping mall (Lombard, Illinois) and my friend and I were #1 and #2 for the pre-orders. I know that because, the girl that was working had just opened the store, and she wasn't even aware that they were doing pre-orders for the iPhone4 she ended up calling her manager, and a district manager to confirm that indeed they were. So my question is what happeneds if you don't get a call? Should I be worried that I will not get my iPhone4 tomorrow even if I am #1 / #2 in-line for the pre-order?

I was #1 for the 16GB Black iPhone 4 at BB Waterford (571) in Orlando. I haven't received a call yet, either, and just called them to see if they'd begun making appointments at all yet. The CS rep (not the Mobile Sales rep -- they were busy) informed me that they would begin calling to set up appointments TOMORROW (6/24) and that no appointments had been made yet.
I didn't inquire further since she wasn't a Mobile rep, but I'm hoping she was confused and that they'll begin scheduling today. I don't know if they have inventory on-hand yet or not, but if they do I don't understand why they'd wait til the day of launch to schedule appointments for that same day.
I've got an inventory request in on one of the other boards to see if they do indeed have stock yet. Hopefully that will shed some light on the situation.
In any event, you're not alone!

Transfer call from federated failed

Hi
I am testing transfer call from federated client , I am transferring it to another lync user or to PSTN and both giving transfer not complete with error
can not complete transfer error ID 404 , source ID 239
the nice thing that I am not seeing any error with red flag in the S4 & SIP Stack event of the lync edge and FE , and when I search for the contact of the transferred user I can't find his name too in logs !
any suggestion will be helpful
by the way the internal transfer for incoming/outgoing working fine , I tried to disable/enable refer but same result , anyway I think the transfer to internal LYNC client doesn't need refer changes as it is for gateway only
I am testing the call from my Skype account
Thanks

I would fix OCSLogger on your edge server and post that log:
Issues with OCSLogger and the Outbound routing messages in Snooper on Lync 2013.
Try the following:
Close Snooper and OCSLogger
Rename the default.tmx file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Debugging Tools directory to default.tmx.old
Copy the default.tmx file from c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Tracing To C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Debugging Tools.
Start OCSLogger again and run your scenario.

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds
I spent a while trying to seriously diagnose this problem with Skype support a year ago, but didn't get anywhere; I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the network at my end. But it's irritating me again now, so I thought I'd check whether anyone else gets this problem. It's incoming calls only, to the skype number only. I can recieve incoming calls from Skype fine, I can make outgoing calls to Skype and to telephone numbers fine, the problem affects both Skype on my Android Mobile (when it's connected to my home WiFi) and Skype on my Windows Desktop - so, not a software configuration thing.
When making a test call from my mobile to my Skype In number, it drops at the Skype end several seconds before the mobile notices the line is dead; definitely dropping out at the Skype level, and not the telephone network level.

Hi, ScottMaggie, and welcome to the Community,
I have referred your report to those to whom I report; I am not affiliated with Skype Customer Service.
What you so well describe here, a number transfer (highlighted by me in orange type) is not something Skype has the facility to do:
None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
In the system's simplicity, there is no flexibility.
Just out of curiosity ... and curiosity alone, have you checked the e-mail address on your account to double-check it is the correct registered e-mail address? I ask because I recently did a Skype Number renewal, and I received e-mail alerts every step of the way.
Best regards,
Elaine

How can I remove "skype caller" from caller id

When I make calls from Skype I don't mind if it shows my phone number, but would prefer the customer I'm calling don't see that it's from a "skype caller" as this startles some customers I do business with. Can I have that wording removed and replace it with my name?

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iPhone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

Can I call a Skype to Go USA number from my Skype ...

Hi There,
I'm travelling to Europe (France & Spain) from India. Since Skype hasn't started the Skype to Go in India, I was thinking of going for a Skype to Go number in the USA, which my family will call from their existing Skype credit (through WiFi on iPhone). One Skype to Go number of the USA will be configured to call France and another to call Spain.Therefore, when someone calls my USA number (either through a landline in India or through Skype), it will be routed to my France/Spain local mobile number, which I will purchase on arrival. I wish to know if this (calling from Skype to the Skype to Go number) is really possible. If not, what can be the solution. Also kindly suggest any alternate route other than the USA which will be more reasonable.
One may ask why take so much trouble, and rather not call directly from Skype to the local France/Spain mobile number. The issue is that I wish to be accessible to other important people who do not use Skype, and will call from their Indian landlines to the USA (caling from India-USA on landline is quite reasonable compared to other countries). I will share my Skype to Go numbers with whom I want to be in touch when abroad.
I chose USA since India-USA on Skype/Indian landline is cheap & USA-Europe is again reasonable with unlimted packages on Skype pay as you go. Please get back to me.

How to know Skype number is it used to call from?

Hello,
When someone calls my mobile phone from Skype, a random mobile phone appears as the caller ID. When he calls my house phone from a Skype, a random local phone number appears as the caller ID.
What is the logics of that? Is it possible to determine if some phone number belongs to Skype?
Thanks in advanced,
Jaime

Hi, Juanvizoso, and welcome to the Community,
Good point! I just checked one of my contacts from whom I receive frequent calls, and who also has multiple numbers in their profile, and noted the same thing.
When someone calls your Skype Number, you would indeed not be able to determine if they are calling you via the Skype account, or via the Skype Number. This is by design and is normal, because the Skype Number simply provides a fixed (or, "land") line number for people to reach you, and you answer on Skype.
The only work-around would be to separate out all of the numbers.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Recieving calls from the Philippines?

Hi,
After searching the boards I've have not seen an answer that would clarify my question. I'm about to purchase a premium subscription for ulimitted calling got the US, but I have a fiance in the Philippines.
The reason for the purchase is I temperarly can no longer aford a cell phone. I don't get much calls, so I really don't need the cell at this momment.
Will my fiance be able to call me using this service even though I will be selecting the US (for my family, friends, work, etc.,), using her cell (she has no land-line)?
We both purchase minutes to call each other so I'm not concern about using this serice to call her.
If so, how would I go about making sure she is able to call me?
Thanks!...

Hello
Let's first clarify your post.
I can see from your Skype registration details that you are located in the United States.
You want to make sure that your fiancee is able to call you from the Philippines using a cell phone.
The fact that you have a Subscription is irrelevant. Subscriptions are for calling out - you can't receive calls on a Subscription.
You could consider having a US Skype Number ($5/month) which your contacts could call.

Then follow the steps here:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
But basically make sure that iCloud is enabled with the same account in both your Mac and iPhone, turn off Wi-Fi calls if enabled in your iPhone and make sure that Facetime has the same accounts in your devices.
