Skype number at half price with subscription?

In the past I always bought my skype number as part of a subscription, and therefore had the skype number at half price. I could not find this information on the skype web site today. Is this offer still available? Thank you.

Skype number not displaying correctly with Caller ID

Hello, I have had my Skype number for several years and it's been no problem for those with Caller ID to have my Skype number displayed when receiving a call from me. However, the past few months this has changed dramatically. Now, my Skype number is NEVER displayed when calling someone and in fact, most of the time it displays numbers or even names randomly which have zero relation to myself or my number. Other times, the users Caller ID will display "Skype User". Why has this suddenly happened and what can be done to ensure that it's corrected and working properly again?
My account is indeed configured to display my Skype number (as it has been for several years), but this has no longer has any bearing whatsoever on the number displayed when I call someone. I have found that some people are no longer accepting my calls since they have no idea that I am the one calling them.
This is happening when I call numbers in the U.S. and sometimes Canada and does not matter where my physical location is - if I am in the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc, the result is always the same - my number is NOT displayed.
If anyone could offer some advice which would take care of this, I would be most appreciative. Thank you, Greg

Yes, I have read that FAQ and I realize Caller ID does not work for all countries. But that same FAQ indicates that Caller ID is available for the U.S. And this is where I make the majority of my calls. However, as I mentioned in my original post, my Caller ID has NOT been displayed for several months. What is displayed are randomly changing phone numbers and names that have no bearing whatsoever with anything related to my actual Skype number or name. I've done my own testing when calling my home phone from Skype. I'll call multiple times in quick succession and I will get different results each and every time. The last six calls to my home from my Skype number resulted in the following results: Number displayed not related to my Skype number (different area code entirely)A completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely)Name displayed which is not a name I have ever been acquainted with beforeA completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely)"Skype User" displayedA completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely) If Caller ID is no longer offered in the U.S. the Caller ID FAQ should be updated to reflect this change.

Price for skype number and yearly subscription

Hi,
I would like to get a skype number and get a yearly subscription for unlimited calling to america. I understand that there is a discount for doing them together though I cant seem to find what it is and how much it will cost me monthly for such a plan.
Also am I correct that I can use the above plan with my smart phone?
Thanks for your help.

Hi and welcome to Skype Community.
You can get a discount when you purchase a Skype Number depending on which subscription duration you prefer. However, this may only happen if you have an active calling subscription during your purchase.
What you can do is to buy the calling subscription first to the country of your choice. Specific details including the price can be viewed here:
http://www.skype.com/en/rates/
Just type the country you prefer on the search box and press Enter.
After a successful purchase, you may then buy a Skype Number next. You may get a 33% discount for a 3 month subscription and up to 50% discount for a 12 month subscription.
You may learn more about Skype Number from here:
http://www.skype.com/en/offers/skype-number/
And yes, you can use Skype on your smartphone as long as the device you have is Skype-supported. Check out which mobile phones are currently supported by Skype from here:

Hope this helps.

Number of digits in Skype number?

I'd like to make a number for Australia.
I'm just wondering how many digits are in a Skype number? And what numbers is the Skype number likely to start with?
Thanks

H, Ozzibiker, and welcome to the Community,
Such is the life of an on-line Community; sometimes people receive answers almost immediately, whilst others wait days for someone to happen by. Remember, the Community is not officialy a branch of Skype Customer Service as noted in the Community Guidelines
The answer to your enquiry is, it depends. What depends is the country you are calling and what their numbering conventions are. Check this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_calling_codes
Further, whether the Skype Number is a "local number" or not depends upon from where the person is located who is calling the Skype Number, which is a fixed line number. Ideally, you would take a Skype Number subscription nearest to where most of the people who would be calling it would incur no or as little in the way of toll charges as possible. Of note, for various reasons, Skype Numbers are not available everywhere and for some countries, not at all.
I copied and pasted the information, below, from this website:
http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-country/telephone-country-and-area-codes
Country code
The Australian country code is 61. When calling from outside Australia, leave out the leading '0' from the STD area code or from the mobile telephone number.
For example, if you are calling Canberra from outside Australia, first dial your country's international access number, then dial 61, then dial 2, then dial the local phone number.
Area codes
Australia uses 8-digit local phone numbers preceded by a 2-digit STD area code.
02 Central east region (New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory)
03 South east region (Victoria, Tasmania)
04 Mobile telephones (Australia-wide)
07 North east region (Queensland)
08 Central and west region (Western Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory)
Parts of regional New South Wales may also use the 08 and 03 area codes. Parts of regional Victoria may use the 02 area code
For example, if you are calling Canberra from interstate, first dial the STD area code 02, then dial the local phone number.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Elaine

Re: How can I know what my skype number is?

Hey bringiton did you get an answer? I just recently bought skype credit and would like to find out what my number is..

Hi, Kimtracey, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not assign a fixed line (land line) telephone number to everyone; a Skype Number is purchased as a subscription. Please remember this:
-> A Skype Number is used only to receive calls which you answer on Skype.
-> To place calls to fixed line or mobile numbers from Skype, you need to Buy Skype credit or start a Skype subscription in order to cover the costs of those outgoing calls.
Calls to other Skype accountholders (Skype-to-Skype) are always free of charge.

Elaine

Hi, RKJR, and welcome to the Community,
The only way to change your Skype Number is to cancel the subscription you have, and to start a new Skype Number subscription.

Northern Colorado, USA - Skype number has been dis...

As with the others here, our incoming Skype number rejects all calls with "You have reached a number that has been disconnected." or something equivalent, depending on the calling carrier. There's no way to do any workaround like forwarding or voicemail, as the call is rejected at the very incoming level. We've had this number for over 4 years, and now it's useless. There is plenty of credit sitting there in Skype Manager, so there's no reason from our end for it to be disabled.
I already have an escalation with Skype support that has been in for 1.5 days so far with no effect on the problem.

Hello Elaine,
Thank you for your assistance. Since we became aware of the outage at approximately 9AM, Dec. 24 US Mountain Time, I have been making use of Skype support's "live chat" to try to get information or any sort of feedback about what to expect. The first live chat session was at 9:17 MST on Tuesday, but given that Skype has generally been able to resolve outages like this fairly quickly in the past, there was no escalation at that point and I was not very worried. When the problem was still happening Tuesday evening, I used support chat again close to 8PM MST. The technical escalation was put in close to 9PM Tuesday night. At 5AM MST, an Email came in regarding the "SRX" escalation, but the email was completely in Chinese, and any attempts to use Babelfish or Google translation were unsuccessful in retrieving anything intelligible from that email.
Last night, after another full day of outage, I once again went on Skype live chat support and interacted with a support person who was very empathetic, but really had nothing to offer other than "All we can do is wait."
At this point, it's been yet another full day since then with no change in the problem and zero usable communication from the "technical escalation" aspect of the situation.
I have probably "overcommunicated" here, but I thought it was worthwhile to make clear that I have been communicating repeatedly (3 times so far) with "first level" Skype support, but I don't know that there would be reason to expect it would do any good to chat with them again tonight.
The "just waiting in the dark" goes on.
Thanks again!

My skype number not working with new subscription

My 1st subscription was cancelled due to an expired credit card. Unable to update credit card info, I was forced to open a 2nd subscription. I need to connect my skype phone number to the 2nd subscription.

Hi,
Additional information added: can the Skype number (formerly known as Online Number) be reached from a land or fixed line? If yes, can the number be reached from a mobile phone? If not, then the issue is different - the wireless carrier may not be recognizing the number.
If all else fails, please contact Skype Customer Service for assistance - they need to diagnose and resolve whatever the problem may be. 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.

Elaine

Subscription, Skype number, Refund

Hi There:
I have a Skype number and 120 minutes UK for 3 months. Now I don’t remember how does this Skype number subscription work. I don’t remember the billing date and don’t understand from my account billing section. Today my 3 months UK minutes has been automatically got subscribed and also £10 credit on my account that I don’t want anymore. Now all i want is a Skype number with Unlimited International subscription. Have been trying with Skype customer chat service (support request) but every single time I click it asks me to sign in (even though I’m signed in) brings me to a page where it says at the moment it couldn’t bring the page up....have been doing this for last few months. That's why I disabled my payment option so when it ends I can get the new subscription I want. Few hours before I got an email stating that my subscription is canceled, warring it might affect my skype number (which is very important to me) as soon I enabled the payment option it made an automatic purchase of the old subscription. Now I can cancel the subscription but I don’t want to loose my Skype number, it happened to my once and I cannot afford it anymore. So, I wanted to discuss this with a customer service agent (chat or email) to sort out my issues.
I can't believe a world renowned brand has such an appalling customer service system.
Got stuck with this service, cannot leave for this number is been distributed everywhere in my business.
Any help would be appreciated.

4. can you please let me know if Im to pay seperately for the number (UK) how much would be costing
Hello
1. Please read my previous post.
2. Yes.
3. Subscriptions aren't refundable. Cancel it at your account page. Cancellation is effective on the renewal date of your current billing cycle - February 19th 2015 - and you can use it until then.

Skype Number Purchased Subscription

I have purchsed skype 3 months subscription for US number via credit card, payment is deducted from my card, yet the number is not working.
I tried using https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10656/what-is-live-chat-support for support, but this link is also not working
Need help, please provide technical support number to talk to skype person

Hi, Elegance-Lab, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not provide a telephone call-in customer support facility. Please try again using a different web browser than you typically use. Here is a different link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
A few extra notes to guide you as you walk through the various steps:
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 unless you are directed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.
You are absolutely correct; you need to report a non-working Skype Number to Skype Customer Service as they have the tools to diagnose and resolve. Please post back if you continue to experience difficulty in reaching Skype Customer Service.

Elaine

Where is the link to extend Skype Number subscript...

Have you guys figured out where Skype hides the link to extend our subscriptions for fixed phone numbers?
I've been searching the message boards for about an hour now and all I can find are hundreds of other angry people trying to find the same answer.
What's the point in emailing me to renew my annual phone number subscription if Skype won't even provide a working link or instructions to do it? The only thing the email managed to do was remind me that it's time to deal with this --- again and put me in a bad mood again.
Does MagicJack hate their customers as much as Skype does? If not I'm outta here!
