Skype dial in number shows busy, engaged

I purchased a dial in number in Australia over 6 years ago. That worked fine, then I purchased another one and that just doesnt work.
Any ideas?
On my skype profile it shows that I have the number, etc, and when I try to call it, its giving me the busy tone.
any help is appreciated.

Plain old Copper phone line or FIOS ?
If it is FIOS you can go to your ONT and plug a phone directly into the test jack. If that phone works fine then you have issues with internal wiring. Could be a jack with some crossed pins or a damaged wire.

Skype dials a number by itself

Hi, I was awaken at night by the sound of skype on my windows 8.1 laptop dialling a number of one of my contacts. I had to rush to cancel the call. What can be the problem? Can it be a sign of a virus? I have the latest version of skype, but remember another contact about a year ago asking if I called her - which I never did. Most embarassing, given all the trouble to people.

Yes, and as it's obviously a security flaw in iOS im looking to see where to put a claim into Apple. Clearly not the carriers fault.

IPhone 5S lost voicemail and when I tap vm icon the phone diales voicemail and gets busy signal. No other options show.

iPhone 5S lost voice mail and when I tap vm icon the phone dials voice mail and gets busy signal. No other options show.
started yesterday. No voice mail at all. When I tap the voice mail icon the phone immediately dials some number and that number rings busy. I can't select anything else. Using Virgin mobile/ I am stumped.
I have already tried a soft boot... power and home button....
Help!

Other than changing the SIM card, you don't mention any troubleshooting you did with your phone.
If you haven't already, try the following steps as needed:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Setting.
Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone
IF the last step doesn't fix it, there is a hardware problem and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar. The fact that you haven't dropped the phone by no means rules out hardware issues.

Skype says my 'to go' number is busy

When I call my skype to go phone number, it will sound like it is ringing between 1-4 times, and then simply say that the phone number is "busy". It takes 5-6 rings at my end before my wife hears the first ring at her end. I know that the phone number is not busy. This has been a problem intermittently as long as I have used the 'Skype to go' system. Now this is the only response that I get.

Skype to go number busy all the time

Dear Skype expert,
We have not used our skype to go number and skype account for a while.
I re-activated my skype account, there is still a credit.
Our Skype to go number stayed actually un-useable
The number is in the US [removed for privacy]
Furthermore the automatic withdrawing of our credit card had also stopped July 2011.
Can you re-activate it or what has to be done to re-activate it?
Thank you very much,

Skype number shows up, but we never purchased one

Now when we call someone a phone number shows up on caller ID as one from the area we are at. We never purchased a skype number and seek to remove this number. How can this be done?

Hi, Hopesdreamz, and welcome to the Community,
If you are in the United States, does the Caller ID look like a (661) area code, and the text reads, Skype Caller? If this is the case, this is a generic caller ID assigned by the local telephone system carriers when caller ID data, if any, is either corrupted or not available in the case the call originates from Skype.
Here is a link to the FAQ library related to Caller ID and how to set your Skype account to read as you intend:

Change online number for business

Hi,
I've used Skype for many years now and have had a personal account for it. When I started my own business I associated a Skype Online Number as by business number to my account. Now the business has grown from 1 to 10 people and although I've created all their accounts, my business nr is still associated with my personal account.
This is an issue cause I don't want to receive business calls in my personal time and vice-versa. I've read in a post that Skype cannot move online numbers, but I find this a ridiculous statement.
I don't want to reprint business cards and letterheads or change websites for something that is number portabilitity inside the same operator (which telecoms do for over 20 years).
Can Skype provide a solution? If not then Skype is clearly not a business product.
Thanks,
Luís

How is it all th other European community members have Skype numbers and yet Espana does not? There aren't any regulations because Europe assures us of interoperability of regulations. This must be down to 'the arrogance of' the individual telco operators in Spain. Incidentally these companies are basically BT (UK) and Vodafone (UK).
Come on public how long are we going to put up with being continually ripped off by 'these money grabbing Corporate CEO sociopaths'? They won't change their behaviour unless their 'greed' is exposed at which point competition drives them to change. In this case it looks like a classic case of 'a dark conspiracy to maintain exclusion of' cheaper telephone calls.
Has nobody noticed how Spanish connections via Skype are almost impossible at certain times of the year or certain times of day? The data channels are controlled and Skype traffic is restricted by the same companies who own the network infrastructure. Gone is the apparent principle of democratic free access to the internet.
The usual response to high data demands is to build extra capacity. In this case the response is to keep the limited capacity and argue that traffic throttling is a necessity. Spain suffers from restricted data capacity which in turn impacts Espana's economic growth. Everyday individuals running startup businesses suffer difficulties that do not exist in other European countries.
This is because of the satyrical greed of a select group of telephone companies? Well it is a question, one that everybody should start to ask. Why? ...and why no Skype numbers for Spain?

How Skype will loose their small business customer...

I want to express my disappointment and frustration at how Skype is making it increasingly difficult for small businesses to operate using Skype Manager. New restrictions seem to pop up on a regular basis, gradually taking away the flexibilities that made Skype such a groundbreaking solution for companies like mine in the first place.
I want to bring to light how two specific matters have effected us to the point where I need to find another solution. First it was the payment methods. Suddenly one credit card could only be used for one Skype account. In a company of 10 people that spans 3 continents, I had only 2 payment sources. The debit card tied to our business account and a paypal account we use for the business.
I was given the suggestion to open a Skype manager and invite all our employees there. This was a simple solution to my problem and worked fabulously for a while until more restrictions started croping up in the Skype manager.
All my employees opened their own personal Skype accounts (to be used only for the business) on my order when they joined us 3-4 years ago. At the time I was not aware of the Skype Manager and I could not forsee how difficult it would make my life when Skype stoped allowing me to assign Skype numbers to any account that was not created from the business manager itself.
I got around the problem by assigning credit to the specific account and letting them buy their own numbers. That of course prevented me from having full control of those numbers, which I was not happy about.
The most recent restriction that is actually effecting my business in such a way that I am looking for another solution, is that now any Skype Manager with a US address is unable to add personal accounts.
We work with an ever changing group of consultants. Most of them are young professionals from developing countries where money is tight and the methods of payment Skype accepts is not always available to them.
Perhaps most companies would not arrange communications in this manner but that is what's required for our business to work. If the people in my company, employee or consultant, cant communicate properly with me and my clients, I have a problem.
The only option left to me is now to create a new business account from within Skype manager for every new person we work with. I tried this with my brother-in-law who works with us on occation. Unfortunatly he refrained from using the new account with its
already paid for Skype number and subscription, as he was already to tied to his current account and all the contacts he has there.
This is the case with most people. Who in this world doesnt have a skype account already? Being forced to use two is inefficient and moving
all contacts from one account to another not always possible.
You might ask me to grow up as a company and streamline the way we do our business. But that is just the thing....Companies like ours
is who made skype in the first place. Business with a global presence that needs the flexibility and easy of use are who gravitate to skype.
Otherwise we would be setting up with Verizon.
Skype, you are alianating us! You are making it impossible for us to continou using your services. I can imagine there is a reason behind all these restrictions. Companies in the communications industry have most likely misused your services and you have to protect yourself. I understand. But does that mean you have to draw one line in the sand
for everybody. You can see we are a legitimite business and are not abusing our account. Why not let your customers service agents make an educated decition about our account and allow some of these featured back again.
Please think it over.....
Sincerely
A loyal, but wavering Skype customer

Hello all and thanks for your interesting and thought provoking posts.
I intend raising the issue of Skype's approach to the business community with the Company shortly and will use the points you have raised here as examples.

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate. But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. I can't get it to ring. I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone. But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

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.

Skype-To-Go number in different location

Dear Skype enthusiasts and friends,
I thought somebody could help me on the following:
I have a UK mobile registered with my UK Skype-To-Go, and can call this Skype-To-Go number and it says: "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To make any other international call press 2", and like that I can make world-wide phone calls for little number. (On top of that, if I register speed dial contacts I also get a UK landline number for these, which is very handy).
I am now in the USA for a few months, and managed to change the location for Skype-To-Go to "nearest location" and have registered my US cell phone. My speed dial contacts have been updated to US numbers (instead of the UK landline numbers). I also get a text message from Skype which includes US numbers for my speed dial contacts in Europe, etc, and this is very handy and it works.
Now, my question is, I cannot find anywhere a US number which I call which then says "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To dial another international number press 2."
This is very important to me, as I can use option 2 and type in any number I like and it puts me throught. because I cannot find the above number, this means I need to continiously change my speed dial contacts (maximum 8 or 10 are allowed).
Any suggestions or solutions?
Thank you very much.
