Thanks.

なんで中国語のメールが繰り返し来るんですか?What's wrong Skype? Keep se...

I am really sick and tired this Skype help and community. You MUST improve this. I was forced to login at least 3 times after I login client,,, then on the web... I love Skype and am happy using regular Skype function, but this web design and function system is too bad.
Anyway, how can you stop sending me Chinese message to me? I am a Japanese and logged in Skype in Japan and using this with satisfaction for about 6 months. Early this year, Feb/Mar, my skype account was hacked by someone in China.   Skype returned my used money.   I am registered as user in Japan, and support team communicated with me through Japanese. Yet, Skype auto notification sending in wired language. Please stop using Chinese to me. Since "hacked malicious usage" I have never logged in from China.
I can't accept this function at all. For example, if I go to China on biz trip and logged Skype overthere, Then Skype keep treating me as "Chinese"???   This is very strange.
どうして中国語でノーティスがくるのですか？今年中国から悪用されたことですが、私個人は全く中国とかかわりないのに、なんでまた中国語でのノーティスがくるのでしょうか？なんとかしてください。私は中国からSkpeを利用したことがありませんが、もし中国に行ってSkypeを使ったら、それからは中国語のサポートやノーティスがくるのでしょうか？そんなウェブサービスはないでしょう？
それと、Help～サポート、コミュニティが使いづらすぎます。私が馬鹿なんでしょうか。ぐるぐるまわされています。カテゴリーだってなんだか不十分です。

本当にどうにかしてほしい。

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!!

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Using skype on skype wifi while in Japan for calls...

I am subscribed to us and canada plan here in the U.S.
I always call Japanese number from here with skype to go number (U.S. number) and it will charge a couple of cents/minute.
If I take my iphone to Japan and call on skype wifi, does it still work the same (as far as the rate) or do I need japanese skype to go number because I'll be in Japan?
Of course, I'd have to pay for skype wifi but I think it's cheaper than buying it in japan.
I thought wherever I am, the subscription control the way it is charged.
Thanks.

When calling via Skype it matters only where you're calling to. It doesn't matter where you're calling from.
You may find Skype WiFi helpful as long as you understand it's to pay for not-for-free public wifi hotspots. If you have free wifi available you can still use your subscriptions and don't need Skype WiFi.

Travel to Japan and use Skype to call AT&T calling...

Hi,
I'm going on a business trip to Travel later this year and I'm looking for a best way to make some personal business calls during that time. My company already provides me AT&T Calling Card for daily business operation while I'm in my home country(now) and I can later reimburse the fee. Since I will stay in Japan for just a month, apply for a mobile/landline number there seems not practical to me. I just checked AT&T website and know my calling card should be available in Japan but I'm wondering if I can use Skype to call these Japan numbers? I took it a try here(outside of Japan) to call AT&T Japan calling card number but it got disconnect with 0 sec duration. I know it may because I don't have any Skype Credit balance but I don't want to risk my money to buy it and then find it's impossible to call in this way. Any idea?
In short: Can I call AT&T calling card Japan access number by Skype?

Hello,
As far as Skype is concerned the answer is "yes". You can call virtually any # worldwide with Skype Credit.
p.s. You have been flagged for posting duplicates on different boards. As this contravenes Skype policy please avoid.

Re: skype to go in Japan

Is there a reason for this? Skype pretty much doesn't have any extended features for Japan. Is this due to some Japanese restrictions? Living here, I wouldn't find that surprising. But what I do find surprising is Skype saying exactly what's up anywhere here. That's quite frustrating for us working here in Japan, especially after I tell everyone back home how awesome Skype is, and now I can't call landlines because I don't have Skype caller identification or can't receive SMS. Just say what the reason is, someone!

Hello,
Yes it is due to local restrictions. SkypeToGo coverage is under constant review and, as soon as conditions permit, Skype will be happy to introduce the service.

Travel from US to Japan; Want to forward US Skype ...

I am currently traveling to Japan for a year. I canceled my US cell phone before moving to Japan.
I want to obtain US skype ID to communicate with my friends in US, and would like to forward incoming calls to my JP prepaid cell phone number. Is it possible to foward US skype# to JP phone?
Thank you,

This is what I do when I travel overseas. I travel about once a month. I use this service www. Kall8.com. I can be reached anywhere in the world with a toll free number for $2 a month. I have a US subscription with skype so I can call home to landlines and cell phones. For you to have a skype number you can only answer on skype as you would need credit if you were not on wifi. Kall 8 looks expensive to call Japan it looks like .80 a minute. There is another price for special service at 2.80/min do not know if that is for cell phone or some special number they have in Japan. There are other services out there do some research and you can find a solution that is right for you.
If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.

Skype for ALL Blackberry EMERGENCY CRISIS IN JAPAN

When will it be available for other phones. Today having Skype is a MUST especially when emergencies like the one that just happen in Japan occur...you should have it available for everyone not just for Verizon. I believe Skype is one of the best features ever invented I bought my skype phone as soon as I was able. I was living in London at that time and they had a great plan in the telecomunications company 3. Unfortunately, in Guatemala I cannot use my Skype phone...now I have a Blackberry which is supposed to be the Business tool of today, an although very useful it does not help in these situations. Thank God!! for Whatsapp if it wouldn't have been for this tool it would have been terrible to bear this tragedy in Japan. My mom is in Japan and we were able to communicate at all times thanks with both Skype and Whatsapp; however, I was stuck with my computer at all times. She was surviving the emergency and upating us with the status only with her phone which is what should be nowadays. Of course she has an iphone. So I wonder when will this feature be available for everyone. It is not only fair but also an necessity in today's life. Please write me awith some answers on when will this feature be available for everyone. COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY FOR EVERYTHING.

I don't use Skype but Googling "Skype for BB" brought up loads of hits. See if anything is suitable by doing the same.
We're just ordinary members of the public on here. I think I would speak for all in saying that our thoughts are with you and all those affected by the events in Japan.

Get a UK Skype number from Japan

Hello,
Is it possible to get a UK skype number from Japan?
If it is possible, can I use this number to be displayed when I call Japanese customers?
(eg. they see a number something like, +44 xxx xxx)

Ok not got an RTX myself but have looked at them.
I presume you have got the RTX connected to your network via ethernet and also to the Spanish land line connected too. Sign into your Skype account on the RTX, I presume you have some calling credit on your Skype account.
Your RTX will ring on whichever incoming number that has been called, either the Spanish line or your Skype UK number.
Check the calling rates page for costs to call the UK. https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling. Open up the rates to United Kingdom, then check the Pay as You Go rates and select "view all PAYG rates". That will open up a tab with all the PAYG rates to the UK including mobiles and special numbers. Note that there is a connection charge too. General charges are 1.8p/min + 3.1p connection fee to landlines and 7.6p/min + 5.6p connection charge to UK mobiles
If you find yourself making a lot of UK calls then a subscription might give better value, but note there are two types of subscriptions, one type is only to UK landlines and the other is to UK landlines and mobiles.

Will US Skype # work in Japan?

Hello - I am traveling to Japan next week and trying to make it easy for friends in the US to reach me. If I purchase a US Skype # (NYC specifically) for $18/mos, will my US friends be able to reach me on it when I'm in Japan, or do I need to buy a Japan Skype #?

Unfortunately, no. Japan has a network all their own. I believe they have booths in the airports that allow you to rent devices.

I bought a Japan Skype subscirption and have Skype to Go USA number.I thought I will turn off celullar data on my phone and just use Wifi. I'm considering purchasing a Japanese Skype number, so my japanese family can contact me with low rate. Can I get a Japanese skype number even though I don't reside there?None of my family has Skype there, just landline and mobiles. Do I need a Wifi to use Skype number or Skype to Go Number? I'm new to skype and thanks your help and suggestions!

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE SKYPE (and where to file co...

Approximately two weeks ago, my account was blocked for no apparent reason.
I contacted customer support and they didn't know why it was blocked, but told me to go through the account verification process. I asked to speak to someone on the phone to discuss this but was ignored. Then, within 48 hours I suddenly received a NEW email telling me that my account was blocked PERMANENTLY (funnily enough THEY CHARGED ME $25 USD for SKYPE CREDIT before blcoking me!!!). I want to make sure ALL PEOPLE KNOW about the absurd practices of Skype. I am now out $25 USD and permanently locked out my account forever. WHere can we file complaints? Better BUsiness Bureau? I have contacted my rep numerous times on how to overturn this and he just ignores me saying nothign can be done. this is absurd!!
See below from Tyron H (A horrible customer service rep I might add)
Hello,
Good Day! Unfortunately, we cannot re-activate your account. We take the safety of Skype customers very seriously and need to apply certain restrictions to protect our customers' details. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
In accordance with paragraph 11.2 of the Skype Terms of Use we have terminated your right to use the Skype software, and have prevented any further access to your Skype account.
This is because you are in breach of paragraph 6.3 (c) of the Terms of Use which prohibits the use of the Skype software to send unsolicited communications. Any Skype Credit that was in your account is non-refundable.
Best Regards,
Tyron H.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
To clarify:
The settlement reached in the USA applies to unused Skype Credit being made available to users following a 180 day period of inactivity and is honored by Skype worldwide [except in Japan].
You are referring to a different issue - that of automatically recurring Subscription payments to which you agreed upon signing up.

Skype is the worst company I have ever dealt with

I purchased a subscription to Skype to call 1 specific number in Japan, my in-laws number where my wife and son live while we are separated for a year because of my job, however when I looked at my credit card I was double charged. I contacted my credit card company who reversed the second charge. Skype took that to mean that the one number I called in is fraudulent. In fact this is what they said
“Much as wish to assist but we cannot unblock the since due to an increased number of fraudulent calls to that number”
I asked for a refund but because the annual plan had used 128 minutes since the annual plan started on 8/25 I cannot get a refund either. xxxxxxxxxxxx

I understand. I had credit in my account (in the past) but I received an e-mail telling me if I did not use it at the 1 year mark I would lose it so I made a quick call so as not to lose the money. As far as your questions is concerned I am unsure. I wish I could help you.
