Skype number already in use

I just signed up for a skype number subscription and it works just fine when calling from skype to mobile or landline but when my skype number is called from a mobile or landline it goes to a business that is already using that number. Who do i contact to get a different number?

My Skype number already being used.

I purchased a Skype number in New Zealand and rang it - it is used by a business. What do I do.

Hi, amcsp, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact Skype Customer Service immediately to report this issue. The subscription you have should be cancelled and refunded.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu items 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.

Elaine

Skype Number Already In Use By Someone Else

I have just bought a Skype number and when my contacts ring it, it is answered by another company. I have just had a conversation with this company and they are a legitimate business and "my" skype number is their legitimate phone number. How can I cancel my Skype number?

Online Skype number is in use by a local hospital

The Skype number I selected is apparently still in use by a local hospital. Whenever I make outgoing calls to my friends land lines or mobile phones, their caller ID shows the local hospital name and my Skype number. Also, when people call my Skype number, they get the local hospital, not me.
I called my Skype number from my land line and spoke to the hospital and they say that my Skype number has been in use at the hospital for over 20 years.
How can I get my number changed or correct this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

INFA 9.0.1 Domain creation error [Port number already in use]

Hi Experts,
I've installed INFA 9.0.1 HF2 recently on my Linux 64bit box and due to some configuration issue, I endup in uninstalling the same and deleted the complete installation folder.
Now I'm trying fresh INFA 9.0.1 HF2 install on the same Linux box, but getting the following port number error while creating domain.
"Node port number. This port is in use. Select another port number"
I tried with another port number also but all went in vain.
Anybody faced this situation before? Please help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Ram Sankar

Actually I'm new to Linux environment.. so I'm not sure on remove/killing the port number which are already in use. Hence I tried with different port number, but I'm getting popup like below,
"The Command to create the domain failed
Select Ok to correct the domain information and try the command again.
Select Continue to continue the installation without creating the domain.
you can run the command again to create a domain after the installation."
I'm not sure whether we can create a domain successfully after the installation.
Please anybody help me to remove/kill the existing port number (6005) which I was using it before. so that I can use the same to create a domain during installation only.
I appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks

Serial Number Already In Use

I've upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5 to CS6 and it's been a NIGHTMARE in terms of licensing. I only use the program on my work PC and my traveling laptop. I've been told from an Adobe customer service rep this is a perfectly acceptable configuration. And yet, for the past 2 years I routinely have problems with the programs not running because I get an error saying the license is already in use. When I get the error message, I can't "provide a different serial number" because I don't have one. I already paid over $2,000 for the product and yet about ever 6 months I get some type of licensing error. I wish Adobe would fix this.

Tell us more about your situation. The licensing works fine for most users.
Have you entered the same serial number for the work PC and the laptop then activated both?
That's what I've done and it works fine here.

Imei number already in use for free voucher

hi , i have recently renewed my contract with three and should receive a free voucher but when i applied the message i keep getting is that my imei number is already in use and i have already applied for the voucher which is not the case can anyone help thanks

In that case, are you about this campaign
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/mobile/three-christmas/
Please, contact the phone number mentioned at the bottom of that webpage. Although the Microsoft Mobile Community is managed in London, our community is designed as end-user to end-user community. Therefore, I can neither look into that system nor your voucher.

Phone number already in use.

I tried subscribing the premium but then i cannot seem to add my device because it says my number is already in use. I dont remember registering my number yet. How do I fix this?

In the Hub Phone user guide page 6 it states "- two calls can be made using BT Hub Phone handsets, and a third using a normal phone plugged into the phone socket on your BT Home Hub." So you can have 3 calls at the same time on the BB Talk number and one on the BT line, if you have enough handsets!
In the Hub Phone user guide page 46 there are details of Call waiting. It states that it is on by default. I do not have a phone connected to the socket on the Hub, although I do have it set to ring on Talk number, and only 1 Hub handset. I tried the following test. I made a call on the Hub phone on the Talk number and then rang the Talk number from my landline number. The landline gave ringing tone and I heard the call waiting bleep in the Hub phone and the display on the Hub phone came up with the calling number, my landline number, and 2 options. The options were "Switch" - this will put the current call on hold and answer the new call and "Reject". I pressed Reject and the call on my landline went from ringing to the 1571 voicemail.
In your case you should therefore be getting the call waiting bleep I think before the phone plugged into the Hub rings - perhaps you are missing the call waiting bleep or have call waiting switched off. You can switch call waiting back on from the BT Services Menu on the Hub phone. I can see no way that the second caller will be presented with engaged though. At least with call waiting working you could answer the second call and decide which call to continue with.

How to know Skype number is it used to call from?

Hello,
When someone calls my mobile phone from Skype, a random mobile phone appears as the caller ID. When he calls my house phone from a Skype, a random local phone number appears as the caller ID.
What is the logics of that? Is it possible to determine if some phone number belongs to Skype?
Thanks in advanced,
Jaime

Hi, Juanvizoso, and welcome to the Community,
Good point! I just checked one of my contacts from whom I receive frequent calls, and who also has multiple numbers in their profile, and noted the same thing.
When someone calls your Skype Number, you would indeed not be able to determine if they are calling you via the Skype account, or via the Skype Number. This is by design and is normal, because the Skype Number simply provides a fixed (or, "land") line number for people to reach you, and you answer on Skype.
The only work-around would be to separate out all of the numbers.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Serial number already being used

I recently purchased a copy of Acrobat 9. After installing on my computer and putting the serial number in it is telling me that it has already been installed on two computers. It was brand new and unopened prior to me opening it to install on my computer. How can it already be on two computers? tried uninstalling and repeating the installation process with the same result. What can i do to get this to work?

It is probably worth contacting the seller in the first instance, to see if they can shed any light on it. Why were they selling ancient software and are you really sure it was unused? If it was a license transfer, you need paperwork from them otherwise Adobe consider the license hasn't transferred. Adobe may be able to help, but they will need to know answers to these sorts of questions, and Acrobat 9 support has now ended, so don't be too hopeful.

Using a Skype Number on Multiple Devices

I want to get a Skype number. I currently use Skype on my desktop and laptop computers. I will add the Skype Android app to my mobile phone. When I buy the Skype number, can I use it on all 3 devices or do I need a separate number for each device? Thanks in advance.
-- Bob Lawrence
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks. This is what I suspected, but needed confirmation.
An extension to this question, then, is do all devices (desktop, laptop, mobile phone) all ring simultaneously when a call is received?
I suspect that it does and I can answer on any of the devices, but I want to be sure.
I am really new to this, but in light of near future travel plans, Skype will solve numerous communications issues on several levels.
Thanks again.

My Skype number may already be in use?

Ever since I created my Skype number I have been receiving phone messages for another person, as if the number I received was already in use. Is it possible to change my Skype number in such a case?

Hi, Biebes1, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact Skype Customer Service to report the number you chose and, if you know it, the name of the party who is still receiving calls on your new number. It could be the people who are calling are not aware of the previous user's new contact details, and that what is now your Skype Number may still be appearing on business cards and stationery are still in circulation citing what is now your Skype Number.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
