Skype number - ring multiple landlines?

Hi Guys,
I cant seem to find the answer to this but basically I currently have a Vonage phone line linked via a box to 2 x desk phones.
What I need to do is set up a similar system but via skype. It looks like I can get a freetalk adaptor? Or something similar but basically as its for an office number I would need all of the desk phones to ring when someone calls the skype number?
Is that possible? It doesnt need to be via a box I could always install usb deskphones for my staff.
Thanks in advance!

You can use a Fretalk Connect Me or a USB adapter running SkypeMate with a version like Skype 6.9. I have used both and connected it to my house wiring to connect to multiple phones though I would recommend either a base station with multiple handsets or phones with a low REN value. If you wanted to keep both systems in play it would be best to use a two line phone and adjust the wiring for those particular ports to support multiple line configurations. Even if you wired it inline to an existing system you just won't kow which system is talking precedence when picking up a phone vs. anything actually frying.

I do like the Freetalk Connect Me devices though in my experience they tend to not last not much longer after the 1 year warranty period when compared with my computer/USB counterpart that is still my emergency backup for my Freetalk Connect Me and still functions after 5 years.

Skype number is a landline and I need it to look l...

I normally live in the United States. I'm studying abroad for a semester in Australia. And instead of carrying two phones I thought it would be a good idea to keep one phone and just get an australian phone number, buy minutes and texts and just do that from my current phone (using phone data through ATT). I ran into a bit of a problem when I tried to open a checking account at a commonwealth bank. They need an australian cell/mobile number to send me texts to do online banking.. and that my australian skype number is a landline number and it won't work in there system even though I'm supposed to be able to receive texts. Can I change my number for a mobile phone style number? Do I have any other options?

Hi, Traphic, and welcome to the Community,
How right you are - Skype Numbers are only fixed-line numbers, and neither can a Skype Number receive SMS (text) messages. I do not know any other options for you; if I were overseas for only a semester, and needed to have a local banking account, I would ask the banking institution if they require a full-featured mobile number, or if a pre-paid number and plan would be acceptable. While I cannot think of any particular reason a "burn phone" would not be acceptable, I also know nothing about the Australian banking system security requirements. I appreciate my thoughts here would mean you would be carrying two phones ... I hope you have also checked into your AT&T plan for roaming charges ...
Kind regards,
Elaine

Is it possible to get one Skype-in phone number and assign it to multiple members in Skype Manager?
If so, how do I go about it?
I also asked this here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/One-skype-number-for-multiple-users-in-Skype-Manager/m-p/...

You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]

You can use both business Skype accounts and Online Numbers simultaneously on a
single SIP Profile if you wish. In other words, you may have multiple business accounts
and Online Numbers added to one SIP Profile at the same time.

Port Skype number to a landline?

We want to stop using skype and port our skype number to a landline however our landline provider said they cannot do it is there anything we can do? Can skype release the number of somthing?

Hello All,
I was just wondering if Skype offers the option yet to port a phone number, mobile or landline over to be a skype on line number?
Sorry, Skype does not have the ability to port numbers to Skype for use as Online Numbers. You would need to purchase a number from the pool of available numbers Skype has, depending on the country and region in that country. You can click on the "Online Number" link at the bottom of this web page for more details.

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.

Skype number unreliable / not working?

I am using Skype on a Galaxy S3.
Ever since I signed up for a Skype number I have had people emailing me saying that they were unable to contact me on the Skype number that I gave them. This has become more frequent just recently and I have missed some important calls.
When I call my Skype number from a landline it's a bit hit and miss if a connection is made.... sometimes I get "number not recognised" response from the landline. People who have attempted to call me report similar isssue or sometimes that the number is continually busy and does not go to voicemail.
I called skype support yesterday via Live Chat and was talking to the support guy for 1h 20min and achieved nothing.... he blamed it on everything from my phone provider, internet provider, that my email account was overloaded etc etc ... I think the guy must have bored and was having a joke with me..... that or he was a complete and total utter ####### idiot.
I have attached a screen shot showing settings on my Skype account page.
Currently (23 Jan) my Skype number is not working at all... when I attempt to call from landline I
get the message "the numebr that you have dialled has not been recognised"
Anyone else having reliability issues with a Skype number? Unless I get the issue resolved I will be cancelling account as it is worthless to me in it's current working state.
One more question.... I managed it yesterday, but cannot find it tooday, but how **bleep** do you get to the link for Live Chat.... all i do is get directed to send email???

No; a Skype Number subscription is attached to the account under which the subscription was started.

Unfortunately, Call Transfer is a feature which Skype no longer offers. The only alternative would be to activate call forwarding.

Never Used Skype Number Before - Help!

I am going on my honeymoon to Virgin Islands. Can my elderly mother in the US call my US Skype Number from her landline to reach me in case of an emergency or do I need to set up a Virgin Island Skype number?

Hello,
Yes she can. Your US Skype Number travels with you anywhere. Your location is irrelevant as long as your computer or device has a high speed internet connection.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Call forwarding from an international Skype number

Ok so here is my setup. I live in Ottawa, Canada and I have an Australian Skype number. What I want to know is, if I put a forwarding number on my australian Skype number to a landline Canadian number and someone from Canada tries to call my Australian Skype number, what rate are they charged when they connect to my forwarded Canadian number and what rate is my Canadian number charged?

To make sure you should contact AT&T but if you set up call forwarding to an international number, you will be the one charged for the international call since your account/phone is dialing the final number.
Again, find out for sure from AT&T who gets the charge.

How can I receive calls from Skype number

Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?

Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money. You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.

I'm looking at getting a skype number, but I may not be available to answer it all the time, so wondering if you can link the number to multiple accounts (from other people in our business) so other people can answer it?

Online Numbers can only be on one Skype account, but you could configure the Call Forwarding settings on that account to forward calls to other Skype account names if nobody answers the call on the account with the Online Number. The call forwarding would ring any account name or telephone number listed simultaneously, and connect the forwarded call to the first account or number that answers the forwarded call. Note that forwarding to telephone numbers (except for certain toll-free numbers) would require Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the costs of forwarding calls to telephone numbers.

My Skype number is not ringing

My skype number is not ringing or answering when it called
it worked great for a few weeks

We need more information. Do you have a subscription that covers mobiles such as a US subscription? If not you will need skype credit to forward to your mobile. Have you set your privacy settings to allow anyone to call. Like this.
First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
I hope this sloves the problem.
