Skype number inactivated and can't be reactivated

For some reason my Skype Number has been deactivated. My account has been credited 10 days ago and I received a confirmation; so the payment has been received. If I try to reactivate the number I receive the message:
"We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes. Thank you.". I have this number for 4 years, so you can imagine the serious issues when this number can't be reactivated. To be clear, I'll rephrase:
You deactivated my Skype number without reason
"Reactivate number" function is not working
You received payment for a service that's not working
Number is also used for business, being disconnected is a serious issue
Since you have no direct customer support; I would like to receive support and immediate action a.s.a.p. as any day counts for the obvious reasons

For some reason the Skype Number wasn't included in the payment, while other payments are done automatically. When I bought more credits, the function "Reactivate number" worked and I could fulfill another payment (again). The number has been activated now, but it won't be hard to imagine that I'm not happy with the services and the working of skype / website!

  • Skype Number, credit and forwarding when online

    Hi all,
    I have a few questions relating to the Skype Number, which I recently bought.
    The main purpose for me using the Skype number is to receive business calls and have them forwarded to my mobile. I have a small business, and want to appear as if I had a landline number.
    Here are my queries:
    1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
    2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
    3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
    Cheers,
    Fabrizio

    1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
    - If you have set-up call forwarding in Skype, call forwarding status will be set when you're offline in Skype. Calls can also be forwarded when you're online if the call was not answered after a number of rings.
    2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
    - If you use Skype Credit as a payment method, the forwarded calls will be charged at the Skype’s great pay per minute rates. For example, if you forward your incoming Skype calls to a mobile number in the United States, you’ll be charged exactly what it costs to call a mobile in the United States from Skype.
    3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
    - You can also purchase a subscription for calls to a country where you want to receive the forwarded calls. For example, if you want your incoming Skype calls to be forwarded to a number in the United States, simply choose a subscription covering calls to the United States.
    No matter which payment method you prefer, the person who’s calling you on Skype will still call you for free.
    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

  • Re: Skype Number, subscriptions and forwarding whe...

    I have a similar question to Fabrizio. I am setting up a small business. I primarily live in Australia but will be travelling a bit.  
    My understanding is that if I have a Skype number (which appears more professional and as if I have a land line), the caller will not be charged and that those charges will be charged to me. 
    Am I better to have a subscription and is there any difference in the call charges that are charged?
    Also, if I understand correctly, if I travel to, say, Italy, often, I would get a Skype number for Italy.  Both the Australian and the Italian Skype numbers would have country prefixes - is that correct?

  • I have the security number pad and can't remember my password.  Is there a way around it.

    I have the secuirty number pad on my ipad and I can't remember the password.  Is there any way around this? 

    No, that would make the password rather insecure, wouldn't it? You can only restore from a backup before the passcode was implemented, or restore as a new device.

  • Was not receiving Facebook chat messages through Skype, unlinked Facebook and can no longer link

    Hi there, I noticed I was no longer receiving Facebook messages in Skype, I followed some recommendations to unlink my Facebook account from Skype, which I did via the web interface, now I cannot seem to link it again. When I click the "Learn More" it just shows me how to sign in to Skype with my Facebook account. I don't want to sign in using my Facebook account. I want to continue to use my Skype ID and chat to my Facebook friends from there. Can this still be done?

    Skype dropped support for Facebook because Facebook decided to change it's data sharing policy. It means that no 3-rd party application can' t connect to Facebook now. It's business as usual. Only thing is to hope that Skype can push Facebook to make some exceptions for Skype, in the name of Skype community.

  • Satellite A100: Screen goes blank after a while of no action and can't be reactivated

    Hi all
    I am after a bit of advise/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on for an extended period with no keyboard input (like burning dvds), the screen goes blank. It doesn't matter which keys I press I can't make it come back on. The only way out of it that I have found is to restart the machine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Gary

    Hi,
    normally this means the machine is in standby mode (power LED is blinking orange). To reactivate you have to push the power button. Then it should bring back all opened windows as before going into standby.
    You can deactivate standby function in the power management. (Start -> control panel -> power management)
    Bye

  • Can I change my Skype number?

    I want to change my number to a Canadian number. The subscription renewed on Aug. 15th and I haven't used the number since then except for receiving one voice message. Is it too late to change it, or to cancel it, get a refund and get a new number?

  • 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.

  • What is my Skype number for freinds to call?

    Hi there,
    I have bought some skype credits for unlimited calling but the number that shows up when i call someone starts with 000 so when someone tries to call that number back to talk to me it takes them straight to and operator since it starts with 0.
    I was curious what my actuall number is so that people can call me back also. I looked into getting a skype number but i can get one in the US but i live in Canada so that is fairly useless.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -BCG.

    Hi, laurap,
    Trish's instruction works for me on Windows using FireFox.  Perhaps a few screen shots may help:  On your main account page, click on the Skype Number box.
    Then, you should land here (I have redacted my personal details):
    Clicking on the <- arrow inside the pale blue circle will take you back to your main account page.
    Hope this helps!

  • Submitted Double Payment for Skype Number

    I inadvertently submitted a duplicate payment in the amount of $60 for a 12 subscription for one Skype number. Payment #1 was marked accepted, Payment #2 was marked as "pending." I would like to cancel the second payment because it was made in error; my intention is to purchase only one Skype number for one 12-month period. No more, no less. Please cancel payment number 2 in the amount of $60 ASAP. Please confirm that this has occurred by e-mailing me at [Removed for privacy]. Thank you.  /s/ Peter aka [Removed for privacy]

    Hi, Hotdoc90210, and welcome to the Community,
    As I understand the protocol, a pending payment will not be processed.  Please contact Skype Customer Service to be sure - and to request confirmation that the pending payment be cancelled.
    You will need to contact Skype Customer Service directly (clicking on the blue link, above, will take you to the directions to do so) as our Community Guidelines remind us the Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service and can not act upon support requests posted here on this public website.
