Use a skype number nd connect to more than one sky...

can i use a skype number and connect this to more than one skype account. or can i create a group of skype accounts who can pickup the call?

no, a Skype Number is linked to a single Skype Name
calls to a Skype Name can, however, be forwarded to as many as three other numbers or Skype Names -- whoever answers first gets the call
incoming Skype calls can only be forwarded once using Skype

Skype Number associated with iPhone

Hello Skype Community!
I am not all that technical and have been tasked to find out the following, any help or advice with this will be greatly appreciated!
Our company iPhone has a Skype number linked to it. When the Skype number is dialled, the iphone rings, which is what we want. This iPhone is being returned to factory settings as we need to remove all apple ID's from this device, which were set up by staff who have left.
I need to know the following:
a) if we return the iPhone to factory settings, will the link between the Skype number and the iPhone be lost?
b) if this does happen, how do we re-activate the link between our Skype number and the iPhone
c) how do I communicate with Skype to confirm this number is allocated to our comapny and will remain allocated and registered to our company indefinitely.
Thanks in advance!

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.

My brother and I phone number is link together on the same iTunes and Icloud therefore I am getting all his text messages on my phone, how do I stop this? He does not even have an Iphone anymore.

Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

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!

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.

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.

Elaine

Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number

Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number as per FAQ.
Its not cool that skype has changed the setting to require you to cancel the online number or you get auto renewed. Then as per the FAQ one of the links is inactive.

Also I was wondering why my online number would not allow calls through.
As per the FAQ it says that I need to enable all numbers to call my to avoid blocked numbers not in my contacts list.
Unfortunately the same link is u/s.
I have been a customer for about 4 years and am now withdrawing all auto payments and moving to viber.
I would also like to point out that since ios 6 the iphone app is unstable.

Hi, Smythology, and welcome to the Community,
This is a generic caller ID assigned by local telephone companies when caller ID data is either not received or is corrupted in transmission - or the Skype account has no caller ID set. It is not an infection or malware. Skype cannot control caller ID data as it is received by the fixed line or wireless carrier when calls jump from the internet.
A search of this Community by typing that telephone number in the search box at the top of this page will quickly show this is a popular topic!

Elaine

Call Forwarding with Skype Number

I have a skype number and a couple questions. I have searched the forums and did not see this question answered.
I have an unlocked iphone and travel througout a different country every month or so. Each new country means a new sim card and a new number.
My question is: Will purchasing the skype world subscription cover the costs of each country (as long as the country is covered in the plan)? It states that the subscription only covers mobiles in some countries and landlines in others. So if I purchase the unlimited world (and assuming I am in one of the countries covered) will this be all I need to receive unlimited forwarded calls to my mobile?
I hope this isnt too confusing. Thanks!

Hi, Salsy20 and Joeriba, and welcome to the Community,
Please check your call forwarding settings; Skype does not determine when to activate call forwarding based upon the number of rings; it is based upon an increment of time. For example, in the screen shot, below, the default increment is 10 seconds (circled in orange pen). You would need to determine and then experiment with how many rings = [x] seconds, or set to 0. Remember, if you make any changes to any settings, click Save!
Here is a link to the library of FAQ articles related to call forwarding:

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

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

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.
