Skype calls from a land line

Can an international land line call me on skype? If so how do I get a skype number, and is there a charge for me to receive the call?

Hi, Annikamalone, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, anyone calling you via your Skype Number would be able to reach you regardless of whether they were calling from either a fixed line or a mobile number.
You would not be charged to receive a call on your Skype Number; however, your callers would be (toll charges, and so on).
Here is information regarding obtaining a Skype Number: Skype number

My IPhone does not ring into my voicemail from my land line which I have set up to forward to my IPhone. How do I fix this?

HI,
I bought my IPhone 4 in March of 2011. I use it for work purposes and I have my landlind from my desk forwarded to my IPhone. I am current on all of my updates but for some reason around AUgust 8th or the wek of I have not been able to get voice messages from my forwarded calls. The land line will forward to my cell and my cell will ring but it does not roll into my voice mail. I have been on the phone with Verizon who sent me to Apple who sent me back to Verizon. Is there anyone else out there that has had the same problem?

Hey mslisa12
Check to make sure that you do not have the Personal Hotspot turned on, go to Settings > Cellular and turn it off or change the password.

Skype for Business to land line

Hi,
Here is a quick question. I understand I can call USA/Canada land lines for free via Skype consumer, but how does it work using Skype for business? Are those calls also free? where can I find rates for other countries?
cheers

Just to add to this:
If it's just the UI you can also set this through Set-CsClientPolicy.
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $false
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
However, using this method, some things are still Skype branded (i.e the meeting add-in in Outlook will say "New Skype Meeting") but the UI will now be back at Lync 2013.

Unlimited calls to Uk land lines

Hi has anydody else been charged for calls to UK land lines when theya re supposed to be free, this happened on our latest bill and even though we registered a complaint the billing advisor could not explain how it had happened and we are still awaiting a response from BT to the complaint, we were overcharged £68 which is sitting in BTs account gaining interest, if this is common practice they aredefrauding their customers out of a lot of money.

Hi,
It's probably easier to contact the mods who should be able to sort the issue.
Fill in the web form:- http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
Allow upto 3 days for a response.
Hope this helps

How do I obtain paper copies of skype calls from 2...

How do I obtain paper copies, or printable copies of skype calls from 2012?

Hi,
I am not sure if Skype Customer Service can access call records dating back this far, but of course you could certainly ask: here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service The data would most likely be a list as would appear in the My Usage section of your account.
If you have been using Skype on one computer during this time frame, and the data files are not corrupted, you may be able to retrieve the data by using a third-party add-on such as can be found in the Skype App Directory: http://shop.skype.com/apps/Chat-history-management/index.html
The Community Super Users tend to recommend a freeware product by NirSoft. My favorite is RecollX.

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.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : http://support.apple.com/en-gb/TS5366

Identifying origin of forwarded calls from separate forwarded lines

Currently have two separate phone numbers forwarded to my iPhone number. Is there a way to tell which line an incoming call is being forwarded from? Currently shows the actual phone number that is calling, not the line it's being forwarded from. Each line is a separate business so if I can see what line the call is coming from, I can answer with the correct business name. Thank you!

Hi did you find any solution? if you find could you pls share it. Thank you

Are Skype calls from Android to PC free?

Hi, I was wondering if my friend and I can talk for free if I use the mobile app on android and she uses it on the pc and we are both in the same country. Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Please take a look at the introduction page "What is Skype" which explains all the free Skype features. Calling Skype to Skype, both video or just voice, are free. Just keep in mind that you need a internet connection (either WiFi or mobile internet) on your Android device which might come with a price tag.
Those Skype-to-Skype calls are free regardless of whether you are in the same country or tens of thousands of kilometers apart on the other end of the world

Why can't I be heard when making Skype calls from iPad2 or iPhone?

Live in Costa Rica. Been making Skype calls to U.S. in excess of 5 years. During the past 3 weeks when I make initial Skype call with my iPad2 or iPhone and I can't be heard. I "Power off" iPad or "Turn off" iPhone, then turn on one or both and attempt 2nd Skype call. I can hear the party I am calling and they can hear me. Call quality is excellent. iPad and iPhone software is up to date. Skype Version is latest version (4.0.1325) released on 21 May, 2012. I have deleted App and reinstalled both numerous times. I connect using WIFI with Apple Extreme and Apple Express. I also connect to Skype using MacBook with no sound problems

Also sent this issue to Skype and was promised a response in 24 hours. Did not receive and decided once again to read current reviews of Skype In App Store. Did a search in App Store using "Skype", not Skype for iPad. Apps were shown for iPad, iPhone and iPod. Unlike the iPad App which shows "installed", the iPhone App displayed "Install". I installed the iPhone App to my iPad2. My iPad now has 2 App's installed. The iPhone Skype App display format on my iPad now looks like the Skype display before I upgraded to the current iPad version in late May. Made a call using both App's. Still could not be heard with Skype iPad App. Called the same individual using iPhone App installed on my iPad. Was heard and the sound quality was excellent! Will continue to make calls for several days before passing judgement.

Calling mobiles and land lines from S. Korea to US...

I am currently deployed to S. Korea and I want to use my mobile phone with the Skype app and my laptop to call home should I buy the unlimited US plan or the unlimited world plan? Also what if someone in S. Korea calls my skype number in Korea would that be covered? Please help me!

Hi,
The main thing is that your plan covers calls to US. So if you are planning to call mainly or only to US, then you don't need the Unlimited World subscription, he Unlimited US will be enough.
If you are planning to buy an Online Number, then receiving calls to your Online Number does not cost anything to you.

Skype calls from Europe were charged as voice call...

Hello, just got a bill from ATT and discovered that many calls I made in Europe on skype on iphone 5 using wireless connection were charged as roaming voice calls. Data was turned off. Called ATT and was told that depending on tower locations it's a common occurance. I'm completely dumbfounded how internet calls could go thru regular voice calling. I did check my skype logs and indeed there were no records of thse calls there. Is skype integrated with ios in a way that it switches to voice calls when internet connection is of a poor quality?

That's not possible - nor necessary. Just adjust your "privacy" parameters

Re: Caller identification with land line

Hi Paul -
I hope you or someone else can help me - Thanks in advance!
I purchased an unlimited USA calling plan and an online number 2 years ago for my business. At that time i lived and worked in the 609 area code.
I renewed my service and online #, however, I now need my number to appear to be in the 732 area code, as I and my business have moved.
People are very sensitive to the difference between the area codes around here and it wiill affect me and my customer base adversely to not change to a 732 #.
I have poured over all the FAQs and I see nothing addressing changing one's online #.
Please tell me how this can be accomplished?
Must I order a new # and cancel my old one?
I do not wish to have calls transferred to a mobile #, that is not the solution. My skype # needs to be separate.
Thank you!!

Is it possible to transfer an active call from a PLAR line to another extension? CUCM 9.1

We have multiple PLAR's set up that work great but not everyone has them on their phone. So the problem arises when someone who does not have a certain PLAR on their phone and wants to join the conversation. We had hoped that we could transfer/conference the call on the PLAR to the extension of the person who does not have it on their phone but get a busy tone as soon as the transfer key is pressed. Is this at all possible?

I am going to assume that you provisioned PLAR by using a "null" translation pattern (i.e. pattern with no digits). And that the phones will automatically connect to the PLAR destination when they go off hook.
When you try to do a transfer, the CUCM digit analysis process will use the same CSS logic as it does for a standard/direct call. So, the behavior you are observing is expected. You can't use a PLAR line as if it was a regular phone line.
Your scenario has sparked my curiosity. In my experience, PLAR lines are usually added to common area phones outside of a secure area or something similar. It sounds like you are using PLAR as secondary lines on user stations. I may be mis-interpreting your scenario but I am inclined to think that you may be better served by using other UCM features. More information about your requirements would be needed to give you proper guidance.
If interested then please share more info. Otherwise, the answer to your original question concerning PLAR is that it doesn't work the way you want it too.
