UK Skype Number on iPhone 5s

Hi,
I am doing this for the first time. I am currently travelling alot and as such need to be contactable on a central number. I would like that central number to be a UK number from skype where people from the US, UK and the Middle East can call me.
However in addition I was wondering, since I have the skype application on my iphone 5s, if there was a way that when someone calls me from the US, UK or the Middle East on the Skype UK number, if I can make it so that the number ports the call to my local number of the country I am in?
For example, I am in the North of India at the moment. And say I have obtained a UK skype number. Someone from the Middle East calls me on the UK skype number and diverts to my India mobile number. However I dont want the caller to know that I am in India or that the call was diverted to my India number. I want the caller to still think he/she is calling a UK number. This would be the ideal scenario.
However, I think what does happen and am not sure . . . in the same above scenario . . . when the person calls the UK skype number, it rings on my iphone but it rings on the skype application which means while the person thinks they are still calling the UK number, I am limited to always being around WIFI in order to accept the call. If I am out and about with no WIFI, I cannot get the call. What happens to the call then - does it go into some sort of voice mail where once I am within WIFI range I can return the persons call back?
The other question I have - what happens when I call the person from the skype application. Is there a way that I can call overseas and have them only see the UK skype number that I have obtained from skype?
Any advise on what is the best method for me to follow so that people can reach me on one central number that is a UK based number and they think they are calling a UK number no matter where in the world I am. AND when I call them all they see on their end is the same UK number. And of course I would love for the solution to be economic in terms of cost and not to technical to use as I am not technical - I prefer the phone rings and I pick or I pick the phone and I call kind of easy process . And of course it should be compatible for my iphone 5s
Many thanks in advance . . .

iOS 7 will offer call blacklisting, which in reality is not true call blocking. It allows a call to connect, compares the caller ID information with a database of blacklisted numbers, and if a match is there, it hangs up the call without ever riniging.
The feature is part of iOS 7, not specific to the iPhone 5s at all.

Is there any way to receive SMS on a Skype number?

I just purchased a Skype number today and will be using Skype via the Skype app on my iPhone. I've set up voicemail and have already testing calling out to a regular number from my Skype app/number and having someone call in to my Skype number. It works great but the issue is with SMS texting.
I realize that although I have the $2.99 plan for unlimited US/Canada calling that it does not include SMS text messaging. I realized I need Skype credit for that so just purchased $10 of Skype credit. I see that it costs 11.2 cents to send an SMS text to a US based phone number. Here is the issue. If I read correctly you can only send an SMS text from a Skype number and there's no way you can receive a SMS text at a Skype number. Is this true? Since most of my communication is via SMS this means that Skype would be of very little use to me.
Is there any way you can have Skype forward incoming SMS texts to your regular cell phone number? Although this isn't my preference I realize people will try to send SMS texts to my Skype number. I don't want to forward voice calls to my cell # but if I'm able to forward SMS texts from my Skype number when they come in to my regular cell phone # this would solve that problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, Santosh..., and welcome to the Community,
I would recommend testing the SMS reply forwarding to your mobile number. Depending upon the results and if this works for you, you could then contact Skype Customer Service to cancel and request a refund.
In other words, SMS will be received via your mobile number, not via your Skype Number.

How to switch Skype number from 3-month plan to an...

A friend initially subscribed to 3-months Skype number plan. Now she would like to change to 1-year subscription. However, there does not seem to be any option to do this. The initial 3 months just passed and an automatic charge appeared on her payment card. There does not seem to be any "modify" subscription option (not even a "cancel" subscription option). There is no Skype/Microsoft support readily available. This is very bad experience for her and it seems to be rather common issue. I am actually surprised by this and have expected more from Skype/Microsoft. Any ideas about how to change the subscription?

Hi, PetrVeprek, and welcome to the Community,
As strange as this sounds, the short-term Skype Number contract needs to be cancelled. When the subscription ends, the Skype Number is held in reserve for a period of 90 days, during which timeframe the number can be renewed for an annual term.
If all else fails, please contact Skype customer service for further assistance. I would report to Customer Service that the renewal e-mails were not received - after checking that the account's registered e-mail address is correct! You would not believe the number of enquiries I read where a Skype account's registered e-mail address has fallen into disuse, not updated, and therefore resulting in no communications received from Skype.

Elaine

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.

I bought another skype number for a family member ...

I have 2 skype numbers now because I can't figure out how to assign the other one I just bought, to a family member. Do I need to cancel that and start over?

Hi, Patzycakes, and welcome to the Community,
As a matter of fact, yes: Skype Numbers are associated with the account under which the subscription was started. Skype does not permit Skype Numbers or any other subscription, or credit, to be transferred from one account to another.
So, the best thing to do would be to cancel the number you do not need, contact customer service to explain the situation and to request a refund , and start a new Skype Number using the Skype account for the family member you wish to have a Skype number. You or they should use their own payment method -- the Skype anti-fraud filters will catch your credit card being used for more than one account, and bar the payment; as a security measure, you may find your own account becomes suspended!
All that said, if the family member does not use Skype and have their own account, that presents another wrinkle.
Best regards,
Elaine

Error message when extending skype number

Hi guys
Really hope someone can help me with this. Been dealing with skype chat and email support for hours and hours over last three days with absolutely no progress.
I have 8 skype numbers within my skype manager account and for some reason, one of them did not renew properly last week (the others renew every month or quarter). When I follow the steps to extend the number within the manager control panel (features, skype number, click on expired number, select "reactive number", pick monthly, quarterly or annual payments), I get the following message.
Service Unavailable
We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes.
The same message appears on IE, Firefox and Chrome. This is our main office number and its incredibly frustrating for us. If I try to extend via the individual skype account (rather than manager control manager) I either get an error message or a message saying "your request has been sent to your administrator"
Is there a solution out there? Is this a bug?

Having same problem. Spent one hour w/ Chat support, no joy. Anyone get this addressed, and if so, what did you have to do?

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

Need to Immediately Deactivate a Skype Number

I purchased a Skype number that turns out to have been previously owned by a scam operation and is still receiving calls. I alreaday purchased a second Skype number to replace it, and canceled the first number.
The problem is that the first number is still active until the end of the subscription in 2015.
How can I deactivate this number immediately? I don't expect a refund, I just want it to go away now. I really don't want to shut down the entire Skype account and lose my Skype name just to deactivate a phone number.
Kevin
Solved!

Hi, Kevin, and welcome to the Community,
Skype needs to be alerted - and due to the nature of the number being abused, I would request a refund! Here is a link to the instruction on how to request a refund: request a refund
Better yet, here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Here are a few extra notes to help you find your way:
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.

Elaine

My Skype number is not working

I have purchased a Skype number. I am travellling and I am out of the country but I cannot seem to make my Skype number work. It is a New York City number but when someone calls it nothing happens. I paid for it for three months! It shows up in my Skype profile! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, lonepine, and welcome to the Community,
Please check these settings first as detailed in this FAQ article:

If saving any adjustments to these settings did not resolve, please post back including the version of Skype you are using and on which computer or mobile device and its operating system.

My Skype Number is listed online and I get unwante...

Hello,
Since I first bought my Skype number a couple years ago I have been receiving calls from people looking for "VIP Cameras". It happened so frequently I Googled the name and number and found listings in several online databases that pool businesses together. I've done everything to contact those "yellow pages"-type companies for removal, and some have been compliant while others not. I tried to find the original owner of the company for VIP Cameras, but the company no longer exists, and as it turns out from customer reviews online, the camera company was a scam and ripped off numerous people. So basically, I own a phone number that is the scapegoat of a fake company that has its contact info plagued throughout the internet in shady name-sharing websites. I dealt with consistent wrong number phone calls in the dead of night while I was serving in the military overseas due to the time difference with the U.S., while I needed the number active for important calls from home.
I really didn't want to change the number because of my contacts who have me listed, but I have put up with this long enough, and I need to work with a representative to change my number. Please don't instruct me to block the numbers, as you might understand from my situation, the numbers are different every single time.

As well as the new download you will need the new serial number. You cannot use your original serial number.
(Don't expect it to work on modern versions of Windows or Mac OS though!)

My Skype Number is going to be deactivated?

Hello,
I recieved a email two days ago saying that my skype number will be deactivated in the next two days. Today is the last day to renew it. Skype must have tried to charge my pay pal account since that was the last time how I paid for it. I switch over to my card so it can be billed, but it doesn't allow you to pay for it. It just allows you to change your billing method. This number is what I use for my office line and any assistance in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Psalamon, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact customer service to request assistance with this.
Also, when you say, "My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!),"
... please note that the Skype Number will not "ring busy" - if you are using Skype, incoming calls would be diverted according to your Tools -> Options settings. The Skype Number provides a phone number for people to reach you, but the number has nothing to do with outbound calls you place.
Hope this makes sense!

Elaine

Hi, i'm in UAE for travel, my account says that my skype number is inactive, but i have enough credit. How can i active it??

What type of license is the key for: individual, student/teacher, government, team, enterprise, promotional, bundled, what?
Where did you get the software installer from, a link in your purchases area or a download elsewhere on Adobe's site or from ProDesignTools?
Is there anything that was done out of the ordinary, originally, to get your software to work?
In other words might the key be for a different type of license than the installer you're trying to use.
