RTX Dual Phone and Online Number

I'm planning on getting RTX Dual Phone with an online number to replace my land line. The requirements specify Broadband Internet connection (I have DSL service and a router with open ports).
The requirements also state 'landline operator subscription'. What does this mean? My objective was to replace the landline?
The RTX dual phone package comes with 2 handsets. How many will it support and where do I buy extra handsets.
Can I set Skype on my computer to the same online number, so that it rings when my computer is on.
thx
Visitor John

Hi, If you buy a Skype phone and an online number anyone who calls it either from a landline, mobile or Skype ID, the phone will ring. If you are signed on on another device be it a computer or IPhone app all devices will ring. As long as the Skype phone is switched on and has Internet connection it will be online 24 x 7. If you need any more info please get in touch.

The RTX Dual phone 4088

My wireless Doro phone which is about 6 years old does not want to connect with my computer or perhaps it's the other way around!
Therefore I plan on buying the RTX Dual phone 4088. However I can't seem to find out if it works with Windows XP or as I plan soon on buying Windows 8.
Another concern is that I have looked at customers comments and one person says:
''After a one year form the utilization, the hand phone will not be active. It is like a product for just one year!!!!!!!''
I'm really stuck and hope that someone could help me, and do remember that I am most certainly not an expert with computers or phones.

Hi, John,
I have referred your enquiry to Skype's partner vendor for more information.
Kind regards,
Elaine

"Skype Phone" and "Online Numbers"

I just found out that “Skype Phone” and “Online Numbers" are the same thing. I was not told that when I signed up, I was told I needed both? I have been charged for both for the last two years?
I would like to be reimbursed, even if it is prorated for some reason?

Subscriptions and Online Number

I have a 1 month subscription and want to get an online number (3-month subscription) ...my question is - If I purchase the 3-month subscription does that mean that my 1-month unlimited subscription is extended for the next months as part of the online number subscription (unlimited cals, texts, etc.)?

Hello,
Subscriptions are not linked to Online Numbers. Your subscription will be extended every month even if you don't purchase an Online Number, until you cancel recurring payments.
You will be charged separately for the calling subscription and Online Number, but keep in mind that Online Numbers are not extended automatically like subscriptions.
If your Online Number expires then you have to manually extend it.

Subscription and online number, yet paying monthly...

I have been a happy Skype user for quite some time, so I thought I would get an online number and a yearly subscription (landlines Sweden). Turns out though, that I am still paying about 9 EUR/month for the premium stuff. I thought I would qualify for premium and not have to pay monthly fees after having spent the money on the yearly subscription and online number.
Can anyone explain how this works? I have been unable to figure it out from the support pages. Thanks.

Hello,
To get the discount for the Online Number, you have to purchase the subscription first. When you have an active subscription, the discount will automatically be applied to the Online Number purchase.
As you have purchased the Online Number first, I advise you to contact customer service to cancel the Online Number purchase so that you could repurchase it (the same number will be reserved for your account).

Having trouble syncing my new phone and new number

i am having trouble syncing my new phone and new number with my back up. it keeps saying autorize this computer I did but still not syncing please help

Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't see a toolbar like that on my 4.0 version. I had already seen the help information. Thanks. I thought perhaps those were the directions for version 3.0? Am I missing a toolbar?

Who can phone my online number?

I live in the South Island, New Zealand. The closest major city in the South Island is Christchurch and I can buy an online number starting with prefix 03. Can people from other regions of my country call me on my online number, for example from Auckland or Queenstown?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I live in North Carolina, USA. My online number functions like a regular phone number. Anyone in the world can call (using the US country code as the initial prefix of course).
I have even set up call forwarding on my online number to ring directly to my cell phone.
I would imagine it works that same way where you are.
Hope this helps!

Does: home phone adapter + online number = ability...

i have not found any information that says specifically that non-skype callers can call you via a home phone adapter or a Skype-ready cordless phone. I know you can call out, but what about receiving calls? Anyone here have a skype-ready cordless phone?

I'm also considering buying phone adapter. And to get a phone # attached to it to be able to receive any regular call on the phone (not on the computer) - do I just get an online number - is there any other option?
I did not find any related info in FAQs, etc.

Freetalk Office Phone & Skype Online Number

When reviewing the product description for the Freetalk Office Phone, it was unclear to me whether or not the phone will work with your Skype Online Number. For example, if someone calls my online number then will the Freetalk Office Phone ring?? Also if I call someone from the Freetalk Office Phone then will they see my Skype Online Number on the caller ID?
Thanks!

Skype-to-go and Online Number

Hi,
I am an American graduate student who will be living in Canada for a year. I plan on purchasing a Canadian cell phone plan but would still like to be able to call and be called easily by my family and friends in the states. I was considering purchasing both a skype-to-go plan to call people in the US and getting an online number so that people in the US could call me for free (as well as an unlimited us/Canada plan). Would this work, as long as I get a mobile plan with a lot of minutes, or would there be additional/roaming fees? I know that Skype-to-Skype would also be possible but, I'm not sure that I'll have a data plan.
Thanks!

What you outline is good, stuff you can use Skype for. There is a sequence you would want to follow, which will help you save a little $$$ in the process.
First thing you should probably do is get your Unlimited USA & Canada subscription. This covers calling to landlines and mobile phones in both countries at US$ 2.99/month. If purchased on a yearly basis, you get a 15% discount, knocking the price down to just over US$ 30/year. Once you have this, you will be able to make calls from Skype to landline and mobile phones in both countries, and use this to cover the calls forwarded from Skype to your Canadian number.
Once you have the subscription, purchase the US Online Number. Ideally, you should get it in the same city as the people who would call you most, trying to make the call for them a free local call. Skype does not have Online Numbers in all 50 US states and not in all US area codes, so take a look at what's there. Even if you can't get a number in the same city as your friends and family, at least it would be a domestic long-distance call instead of making them call a Canadian number at international rates from the USA. With the subscription, you can get a 50% discount on the price of the Online Number. For a year, that makes the Online Number US$ 30. Not a bad deal. You would not be charged by Skype to receive calls on the Online Number. With the subscription as outlined above, you can forward calls to any number covered by your subscription (in Canada or the USA) for no additional charges from Skype.
Then get the Skype To Go number. You may be able to get the number so it is a local call for you wherever you are going to be in Canada. Be very careful about the city and area code/prefix combination for the Skype To Go number, as this could be a long-distance call for you. Using the mobile phone, those calls may be covered by your mobile plan. Not all calls to all area codes for a particular Canadian city may be considered as free local calls. You can then set up Skype To Go to remember your Canadian number, so you don't have to enter a PIN code every time you call the Skype To Go number to make calls. These calls would either be covered by your subscription (free calling to US and Canadian numbers), or require Skype Credit if calling somewhere not covered by the subscription.
You will have to consult with your mobile carrier on the particulars for receiving calls. Some plans may give you unlimited incoming calls, where others will allow you a specified number of minutes per month. The cheapest monthly plans will probably charge you some amount per minute for incoming calls. All of this is outside of Skype's control, so make sure you're set up for this and know what you're getting from the mobile carrier.
As you stated, you will need to have some sort of data plan if you intended to use the Skype app on your mobile phone in Canada, and use the mobile network as your Internet connection. If you have access to WiFi, that would take care of the Internet access, but do make sure of what you get from the mobile carrier. Chances are good that you won't have an "unlimited" data plan option from the Canadian carrier, just like how the US mobile carriers are going now, so make sure of whatever you are getting in this regard.
On a past trip to western Canada a couple of years ago, I did a similar thing as you are going to do. I already had a US Online Number and a subscription covering calls to the US, and obtained a Vancouver Skype To Go number so I could access Skype from Canada when not on the Internet. I purchased a Rogers Wireless prepaid SIM in Vancouver with a Vancouver number which had an optional data plan (paid per day), so I could avoid roaming charges from my US mobile carrier. I set up Skype to forward calls to the Canadian number while I was in Canada, so callers to my US Online Number didn't have to change anything they did to reach me. Whenever I called back to the US, I rang my Vancouver Skype To Go number, then made the cross-border calls using Skype (covered by my subscription). I saved a lot of $$$, compared to using my US mobile number in Canada and getting clobbered by roaming fees. I ended up only using Skype when on WiFi, instead of paying for that optional data plan on the prepaid Canadian SIM. It takes some thought and work to set up, but it was worth it.
Good luck!

Unlimited subscription and online number

I'm a great fan of voip and Skype but one thing that really bugs me is the fact that Skype neither provides an online Israeli number nor an unlimited plan for calling mobiles. There are simply no decent voip services available that even come close to Skype in terms of call rates and quality.
Are you going to do something about it anytime soon or should I keep on dreaming?
Sincerely,
Von

I don't want to just say "keep on dreaming", but that might be the answer to your question.
Skype does not charge different rates for Online Numbers in different countries. This means that Skype will only pay a provider of those services up to a certain amount for an Online Number used to receive calls from telephones. It is possible that it would cost too much in Israel for Skype to do this, or there may be national regulations that prevent Skype from offering Israeli Online Numbers (this is the case in Canada).
As for a subscription for unlimited calling to Israeli mobile phones, this is entirely related to the cost to call those numbers. I looked at the per-call rates, and it would probably be a very expensive monthly subscription if Skype offered an "unlimited" subscription for calling those phones. Skype doesn't offer "unlimited" subscriptions for mobiles, usually in those places where the costs to call a mobile are the same as calling a landline phone (very few places have this) or the difference is smaller than it appears to be in Israel right now (2.3 US cents/minute for calling Israeli landline phones when paying with Skype Credit, compared to 13.8 US cents/minute for calling Israeli mobile phones - not including the connection fee per call).
Sorry!

Voice mail and online number

I have set up voice mail for my account; then bought an online number. When I called my online number from my iPhone, it did not answer with voice mail. Do I have to set up a NEW voice mail for my new online number?

Have you tried this.
First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Go into your account from your computer not your mobile and check on accounts. On the top there is a voice mail icon. Click on the icon and it will tell you if your voicemail is enabled. if not you can enable it then.

Subscription and Online number conflict.

I have a monthly subscription (Unlimited Europe) that includes an online number.
I am being asked to pay to extend my online number (that I've had for a long time), when I click to extend, it says I already have a free number.
When I give up and click to change the online number and take advantage of the free online number I get with a subscription (even though I thought I already have), it wants to charge me.
Is it free with a subscription or not because it was when I signed up?
Also if it is, why am I being asked to extend it?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello,
To get the discount for the Online Number, you have to purchase the subscription first. When you have an active subscription, the discount will automatically be applied to the Online Number purchase.
As you have purchased the Online Number first, I advise you to contact customer service to cancel the Online Number purchase so that you could repurchase it (the same number will be reserved for your account).
