Hi, Grapat, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available for all exchanges, area codes, or even all states in the USA and all countries.  We need to choose a Skype Number based upon what is listed at the time we are searching, or check back regularly to see if a particular exchange has been added to the list.
Regards,
Elaine

  • Setting up new Skype number - area code missing fr...

    Hi.  Wanted to set up a Skype number with the area code, 316, from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.  And, but, that area code doesn't appear on the pulldown menu.  Any help?  Have a feeling I'm being dumb and missing something obvious, but that's the trouble with being dumb -- the obvious isn't.
    Thanks all.

    Hi, Bsieverts, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, if Skype cannot obtain blocks of numbers from the telephone service providers, then that is how there can be holes in the lists of available numbers.  There can be several legitimate reasons why this occurs.  As Joanna noted, above, we need to check back on occasion.

  • Skype UK area code number

    There are only 30-odd code numbers in the drop-down list that appears when selecting a code prefix number for the UK.  There used to be an (033) catch-all, trans-UK number but that is no longer on the list.  I'm 10 miles from Bath and Warminster -- but there is no code offered for my town, although businesses here do have Skype numbers that reflect the BT coding system.  How do I get the code I want?  (I'd prefer 033 as I tend to move house every once in a while.)
    Thanks

    3. If I buy credit or a subscription now does that make my 30-day Unlimited World trial no longer valid?
    4. I work in Poland but I need a Skype number with a UK area code. What are my options?
    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    1. Yes.
    2. Yes.
    3. No but it's better to wait until the trial is over if possible.
    4  Choose a UK Skype Number with your preferred area code or as near as possible. Not all area codes are available.

  • Online Number "Area Code/Local Area" Selection DOE...

    Someone else already posted this earlier, but im having the same problem. I am trying to get an online skype number (NOT THE "TO GO" NUMBER) in the United States and I am able to set the country and state selections, but when asked to set the area code/local area (step 2 on the page) there is a blank field and the drop down box to select the area code is also blank. Reloading the page (numerous times) doesn't fix the entry, and this is apparently the same problem for each state selection, so
    I have included the URL where the process starts:
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number/ 
    and the URL for where the error is occuring on the US section:
     https://secure.skype.com/skypein/number?vc=&country_code=US&voucher=
    It still works for all of the other countries and for the "Skype To Go Numbers," but for some reason not the same with the "online skype numbers" where people can reach you in the United States section and when i type in a number on the local number box i get the area code of the smallest number within the same area of the state on the payment page no matter what combination. Like for Texas i'll get a 210 area code number (San Antonio,TX); For California i'll get a 209 area code number (Modesto,CA); For Florida i'll get a 239 area code number (Naples, FL); For Georgia i'll get a 229 area code number (Albany, GA) and so on. But the bottom line is that due to this error there you only have one area code choice for each state, which more than likely in a remore area of the state. If it could be changed to where we type in the area code and number i would greatly appreciate it and purchase a number. Trying to get past this entry for a week or two now and having no luck. I tried to enter a number in the field, which which it doesn't allow me to do. If anyone can help in fixing this problem, i would greatly appreciate it and start getting new numbers. But i'm not looking to just get a remote area code within a state.

    Dear Readers,
    My experience is similar; in my region, I had to choose a number from a nearby township; numbers in my locale were simply not available.  As I understand it, Skype obtains numbers from local telephone companies; numbers are not available everywhere.
    From this information:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number
    When you purchase a Skype Number, you will need to choose one from our pre-selected range. However, you can choose your favorite number from that range. You can search for your preferred number using the Enter your favorite combination search box, or by clicking Show ten new suggestions… to scroll through the available options.
    Here is a link to the library of articles on Skype Numbers:  https://support.skype.com/en/category/ONLINE_NUMBER_SKYPEIN/

  • Are phone numbers 10 digits or 11? Do I need to record a preceding 1 (when area code is diff than mine)?

    When putting in new contacts, do I need to enter a "1" before the 10 digit phone number, or does iPhone know that a 1 needs to dialed before an area code?

    No. Not in the US. I believe the last systems in the US that still require dialing a 1 are land lines, and I'm not even sure they "require" it any more. Lots of PBXs used in businesses still require them because no one has seen fit to update them.

  • Purchased Hong Kong Skype number but Caller ID not...

    I just purchased a Hong Kong Skype number. I live in Hong Kong. I enabled Skype number as my Caller ID number via the website. Everything is all set. But when I dial another Hong Kong number, whether it is a fixed line or mobile number, the other side cannot see my Skype number, but instead only see UNKNOWN or Out of Area. Can you please help resolve this issue? From your support page, Hong Kong Skype number definitely supports Caller ID!

    Hi, moviejimmy, and welcome to the Community,
    I recommend you contact Skype Customer Service to report that Caller ID is not behaving as expected.  Please provide the details that you have here in your post.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

  • Old Skype Number that I do not want keeps getting ...

    I had a skype number that expired almost a year ago, but I keep getting autobilled for it.  Fortunately I did not have sufficient funds in my pay pal account.  How do I deactivate this?  I want to get a new number - but not until I can resolve this.  Please help!

    Hi, Eastriver,
    Thank you for your further explanation.  The fact that you do not see the Skype Number subscription on your Skype account details and purchase history is mystifying; please contact Skype customer service to sort this.
    The process ought to be as simple as cancelling a subscription:

    or

  • Skype number and subscription discount not showing...

    I am trying to renew my skype number and monthly subscription, but this time I am not receiving the discount that I normally see each quarter when I renew. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    It is because you don't have an active Skype subscription on your account.
    Only ACTIVE subscription allows you to receive a discount on your Skype Number.

  • Online Number Area Code request

    Hi,
     Would it be possible to be able to have Swansea (01792) included under UK category?
    The nearest STD at the minute is Cardiff

    The demand for a Swansea number is here.. Was considering using Skype as a telecom provider, realised they didn't have Swansea... Seen plenty of requests for 01792 -- maybe Skype should stick at their Championship level service then?

  • Why are previous patches not included in major releases ?

    I will be attempting to raise a TAR for this but I think it is sufficiently serious to also raise in public.
    In forms 10.1.0.2 I am encountering a serious intermittent problem which EXACTLY matches the symptoms of Bug 3018714.
    Alledgedly it is fixed by 6i patchset 17
    ... and by 9.0.2.3 patch 3882050
    ... and by 9.0.4 patchset 1
    And now the bug has reappeared in the next major release.
    Why keep producing major releases which bring back previous bugs ?
    Doing it once is bad enough, but how can 3 times be acceptable ?
    Also the bug has not been revised for nearly a year and there is no mention of the latest release.
    Would be nice to hear from Grant on this one.

    Are you saying the Sun JRE and Jinit are now the same ? Or are you saying we should no longer use Jinitiator. Do sun have a JRE which is preferable to the jinit which comes with 10gr2 ?
    kndwds
    We started web deployment on 6i then went to 10g then 10gR2 and saw the problem in each of those versions.
    As for progress on the TAR. Guess what. They want a test case based on the scott/tiger schema. What a surprise ! Not very helpful for a problem which appears seemingly at random and cannot be reproduced at will. Don't they realise that real applications are far more complicated than anything mr Scott ever dreamed of.

  • 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:
    #1
    #2

  • Skype number ordered, I did not request it

    I have had three emails in the past couple of hours saying that I have ordered three different skype numbers? I have done no such thing and want the charges removed from my account.

    i'm seeing two possibilities here ;  (1) the emails you received could be fake or phishing emails (2) or your account may have been hacked. 
    for now, I suggest that you immediately change your password, then contact customer service for further assistance;

  • How to get a new serial number / unlock code - I have lost mine

    Hi there,
    I recently dug out my Logic 8 box to find that I've lost the piece of paper with all my details of the unlock code etc. Does anyone know who you email in order to prove that you bought your copy of Logic and get sent a new set of codes?
    Any advice you could offer would be fantastic as I'm really keen to reinstal Logic and start making music again.
    Many thanks,
    Max

  • Skype Number: No area code for Cape Town, South Af...

    On the drop down for skype number area code selection for south africa, Cape Town does not appear, only Joburg, Pretorai and Durban.  
    Cape Town is the 'mother' city - the legislative capital of SouthAfrica.  There should be no pronvicial restrictions like with US states, so why no area code?
    please...

    Hi, Darwal, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, if the particular exchange you wish to have for a Skype Number does not appear on the list, then it is truly not available for any number of legitimate reasons.   Check back periodically to see if the exchange becomes available; Skype does not announce when a fresh batch of Skype Numbers are newly added.
