Setting up new Skype number - area code missing fr...

Hi. Wanted to set up a Skype number with the area code, 316, from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. And, but, that area code doesn't appear on the pulldown menu. Any help? Have a feeling I'm being dumb and missing something obvious, but that's the trouble with being dumb -- the obvious isn't.
Thanks all.

Hi, Bsieverts, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, if Skype cannot obtain blocks of numbers from the telephone service providers, then that is how there can be holes in the lists of available numbers. There can be several legitimate reasons why this occurs. As Joanna noted, above, we need to check back on occasion.

Elaine

Hi, Grapat, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available for all exchanges, area codes, or even all states in the USA and all countries. We need to choose a Skype Number based upon what is listed at the time we are searching, or check back regularly to see if a particular exchange has been added to the list.

Elaine

Online Number "Area Code/Local Area" Selection DOE...

Someone else already posted this earlier, but im having the same problem. I am trying to get an online skype number (NOT THE "TO GO" NUMBER) in the United States and I am able to set the country and state selections, but when asked to set the area code/local area (step 2 on the page) there is a blank field and the drop down box to select the area code is also blank. Reloading the page (numerous times) doesn't fix the entry, and this is apparently the same problem for each state selection, so
I have included the URL where the process starts:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number/
and the URL for where the error is occuring on the US section:
https://secure.skype.com/skypein/number?vc=&country_code=US&voucher=
It still works for all of the other countries and for the "Skype To Go Numbers," but for some reason not the same with the "online skype numbers" where people can reach you in the United States section and when i type in a number on the local number box i get the area code of the smallest number within the same area of the state on the payment page no matter what combination. Like for Texas i'll get a 210 area code number (San Antonio,TX); For California i'll get a 209 area code number (Modesto,CA); For Florida i'll get a 239 area code number (Naples, FL); For Georgia i'll get a 229 area code number (Albany, GA) and so on. But the bottom line is that due to this error there you only have one area code choice for each state, which more than likely in a remore area of the state. If it could be changed to where we type in the area code and number i would greatly appreciate it and purchase a number. Trying to get past this entry for a week or two now and having no luck. I tried to enter a number in the field, which which it doesn't allow me to do. If anyone can help in fixing this problem, i would greatly appreciate it and start getting new numbers. But i'm not looking to just get a remote area code within a state.

Dear Readers,
My experience is similar; in my region, I had to choose a number from a nearby township; numbers in my locale were simply not available. As I understand it, Skype obtains numbers from local telephone companies; numbers are not available everywhere.
From this information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number
When you purchase a Skype Number, you will need to choose one from our pre-selected range. However, you can choose your favorite number from that range. You can search for your preferred number using the Enter your favorite combination search box, or by clicking Show ten new suggestions… to scroll through the available options.
Here is a link to the library of articles on Skype Numbers: https://support.skype.com/en/category/ONLINE_NUMBER_SKYPEIN/

Elaine

How to set a new SCSI number for a second drive?

How to set a new SCSI number for a second drive?
Walter

Walter,
This web site gives a good diagram:
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/dpes/dpesjum.htm
On a Quantum hard disk drive - they were the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hard drive provider for Apple, you will see three or four pairs of pins on the green circuit board. They are labled:
AO . .
A1 . .
A2 . .
If no pins are connected, you have SCSI ID Zero This was the standard setting from the factory.
If you short out the pins beside AO .__. , you have designated SCSI ID One.
If you short out the pins beside A1 .__. , you have designated SCSI ID Two.
If you short out the pins beside A2 .__. , you have designated SCSI ID Four.
These values can be added together to get other SCSI IDs. If you have a jumper beside AO AND A1, that will add up to SCSI ID Three.
Some of the quantum drives used tiny black plastic jumpers with tiny metal contacts. I have yet to find a store that sells the tiny ones. I get my larger jumpers from old PC motherboards that are being thrown away. A small piece of aluminum foil will work as a jumper in a pinch. Just make sure it soed not fall off and short something else out!
Jim
PS
CD-ROM drives are set at the factory as ID 3. Internal drives are set at ID 0. I set my external SCSI drive at SCSI 1 so it does not conflict with the internal drive. Internal Zip drives are set at ID 5 and external Zip drives let you choose between 5 and 6. I set my burners at ID 4. Come up with a master plan for your devices like scanners and burners. Apple System Profiler will give you info on the device ID. If the computer fails to boot, turn off all but one SCSI device and make sure of its ID. Then check each subsequent device by powering up only one device at a time while booting from a CD at ID #3.

How can i set up my Skype Number

Can i set up my skype number to be accessible in two skype accounts and if the other skype account is not available it call gets diverted to another skype account?

Note: when I click on South Korea, takes me to a page informs me there are special requirements for South Korean Skype numbers. However, when I click on "Next" to verify I am a resident of Korea, it informs me of technical difficulties. Is any one else getting this error?

I need to set up a skype number based in Mexioc (i.e. a Mexican number) but when I go thought the process, Skype tells me that they set their numbers in Mexico using a Mexican Partner (a cable company) and they ask you to read the partner's Terms of Agreement, which I did and .... I was not clear on the following....
The skype number is $5 / month paid to Skype but the Mexican partner's agreement talks about a cost / THEIR service... Is this in adition to the $5 dollars charged by Skype?

You don't pay the Mexican provider, you will only pay Skype. I have had a Mexico City number for several years through Skype, and have only paid Skype for that number. There are some requirements in the terms of service for the Mexican Skype Numbers where Skype forces everyone to see that agreement. Other parts of that agreement forbid the use of the Mexican number as Caller ID, so that's why Skype never allows the use of a Mexican Skype number as Caller ID when calling from Skype.
Good luck!

Hi, patmills123, and welcome to the Community,
Once more, as noted above: Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Additional notes since posting the above information: Skype is aware of continued and sporadic problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and - most importantly - choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Hi, Skypephone1, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact Skype customer service to report this problem and to request that the number be tested. You can then request a refund for the number, and start a new Skype Number subscription.

Skype UK area code number

There are only 30-odd code numbers in the drop-down list that appears when selecting a code prefix number for the UK. There used to be an (033) catch-all, trans-UK number but that is no longer on the list. I'm 10 miles from Bath and Warminster -- but there is no code offered for my town, although businesses here do have Skype numbers that reflect the BT coding system. How do I get the code I want? (I'd prefer 033 as I tend to move house every once in a while.)
Thanks

2. If I buy the Skype number now I'll have to pay the full price, right?
3. If I buy credit or a subscription now does that make my 30-day Unlimited World trial no longer valid?
4. I work in Poland but I need a Skype number with a UK area code. What are my options?
Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No but it's better to wait until the trial is over if possible.
4 Choose a UK Skype Number with your preferred area code or as near as possible. Not all area codes are available.

Getting and setting up a Skype number for all memb...

Hi,
I am an administrator for our company Skype Manager account and have been allocated a Skype business account. I want to get a skype number for our company to allow external contacts to be able to call us via landlines and mobiles.
What do I need to do to get a skype number and set it up so that any member of our team can receive external calls on it and answer them ?

Hi _onz,
Something I did several years ago (before I had Muse) when my wife began her jewelry business was create a website in the traditional way (at that time using Fireworks and Dreamweaver), but rather than have people buying directly from her site, there was a link to her Etsy shop. She could personalize the Etsy shop as much as she wanted, add/subtract jewelry on the fly, etc.
There are some good e-commerce solutions out there. One that looks promising is Shoplocket. You can check it out here at MuseThemes.
To your point about a lack of quality tutorials, I somewhat agree. The ones Adobe provide, albeit free, are more hit and miss. I've had better luck at Lynda.com where they offer video courses on the various software. Of course, they're not free, but for $25/mo. I've gotten a lot of value from them.
Good luck!

Trying to get a new skype number

but no area codes come up so I can't proceed - HELP

Hi, VLinVA, and welcome to the Community,
Two things could be occurring here:
If you are experiencing website issues, try accessing the Skype website using a different web browser than you typically use.
If you are successfully working your way through the order process, and are not finding the area code you prefer, this is due to numbers not being available for any number of reasons out of Skype's control. Skype Numbers are indeed not available everywhere.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you proceed to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

New Skype Number 'Pending' for days

Hi all,
I'm based in the UK but have recently purchased a USA Skype Number.
Despite having already been charged for the new (USA) Skype Number, it's been sat in 'pending' status for about 5 days.
Any suggestions? Skype customers support is non-existent hence the post here.
Cheers.
Martin

To add to the above, the 'status' of this transaction does say 'created' but still I'm unable to either see the telephone number in my account or use it.
Cheers,
Martin
