Setting up Skype To Go Number

Hi everybody, can anyone tell me why can't I set up Skype To Go Number with a Malaysia or China mobile number? Is that skype doesn't support these two countries? Thank you so much!

OK, I just found the solution.
First, there seems 1 BIG restriction that when you are in Canada, you could NOT enter the Canadian phone number in the number field, else you will get the error message 'The number is invalid...'
So I used the following way to fix this problem.
1. Use USA number for the first time input, for example, some valid number in US, you may use your America friend's number or any valid number by google. I got this working with get the ACCESS number with the same area code in USA.
2. Manually UPDATE this access number in the right menu selection Nearest Location -> Update, where you can now select the Country (Canada), Location (which province), and manually input your skype-to-go number (possibly your home number or mobile number, or other selected numbers).
3. After this update, you will see the new access number with your local area code in Canada
Hope this is working for you as well.

  • Can I set up a Skype to go number for myself?

    Can I set up a Skype To Go number in Canada for myself and then give it to friends, family, clients etc. to call me? I just learned Skype doesn't have any Canadian numbers. I'm a Skype video conference subscriber. I probably wouldn't have signed with Skype if I knew they didn't service Canada properly.

    Hello,
    1. Yes this is possible in a limited way. You would need to register each of your family/friends/clients' phones in your Skype To Go program. Only those who are registered could dial your Canadian STG number and have it ring on your Skype or on your phone. You wouldn't be able to give out the number at random because STG will ask for verification if a non-registered phone calls the number.
    2. Unfortunately the Online # program can't be introduced in Canada until the Canadian telco authorities issue the necessary licenses.

  • How do I set up skype number so i do not get long ...

    i live in canada,
    how do i set up skype so i do not incur long distant charges?
    I want to speak with my Dominican family.
    Is there any cost at all?
    Thank you

    The provider is AT&T/Yahoo and the account needs to be a POP account if that is the type of account I need in order for my emails to not be deleted on the server.  It was automatically set-up as a IMAP account when I set-up the account initially on the iPhone.  There is no option of the 5s in the set-up in the Advanced settings related to "deleting emails from the server".  Here's two screen shots of the options:

  • Can't Receive Calls to my Skype To Go Number

    We recently purchased a year long unlimited calling plan AND a skype to go number.
    Unfortunately, no one can call my number. Sometimes they receive a busy signal, other times it just beeps once and hangs up.
    Can you tell me why this is happening and how can we fix it so that I can receive calls to my to go number???

    If you mean "Online Number" please do the following:
    First check 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.

  • My skype to go number nightmare

    So I am annoyed. I set up a skype to go number so I wouldn't have large phone bills with my cell phone. I set up a skype to go number a month ago for a small fee so I could call for a list of people I like to call regularly in the States. I just received a 1000.00 dollar phone bill! I couldn't beleive it! So I went into my skype account and noticed that these numbers have been routing through Alberta!  Now I am not able to update my current city for my skype to go number.I keep trying to change the location to Toronto but it keeps defaulting back to Alberta! So angry with this bill! I feel totatally misled and taking advatage of. Keeps saying there is techinical difficulties! Is there a number where I can call and speak to a customer service agent?
    Beyond disappointed with this current service!

    Hi,
    thanks for your response.  So I just tried again and the same thing is happening. When I am on the skype to go page, there is an option on the right to 'update location'. This takes me to a column where I am able to scroll down the drop box and choose 647 Toronto, however after I click continue on the bottom right of the screen it takes me to a weird screen with just a list of skype words underlined. It is very strange. When I scroll half way down it reads "oops something went very wrong, we are experiencing some technical difficulty please try again in a few minutes' But this has been for a week now. Any help mystery friend??

  • Get additional local skype to go number

    Hi,
    I'm one of the users with an old account and one central skype-to-go number with voice menue (a much better system, but that's not the issue now). I used to be able to get an additional local number to use on holidays for example. Just last December I set up an additional number for New Zealand for example. Now I can't find this function anymore. Is it still possible?
    Many thanks

    Go to your Skype To Go tab in My Account and there change your nearest location to the place were you need another local Skype To Go number.
    Then, when you are back the main Skype To Go tab, in the bottom right you will see a link "View old number". That's where you can then find the central number for the new location.

  • "FREE" Skype to go number

    I just received an email, stating that I have been setup with a FREE Skype To Go number. When I try to use the number--I'm told that I don't have sufficient CREDITS to complete my call. Huh????

    G'day, robertd903! Welcome to the Skype Community!
    I'm sorry if you've misread anything before taking advantage of your free Skype to Go Number.  Please understand that the Skype to Go Number is free to set up with Skype accounts. However, you must also understand that calling a phone number using Skype or Skype to Go requires a subscription or Skype Credit. With no Skype Credit or Subscription, you surely can get a Skype to Go number and add up to only one other Skype user on its contacts list. You must have Skype Credit to add more than one. 
    Luckily, with Skype's low rates, you can definitely take advantage of the premium calling features that is offered.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know in the community!
