Hi, Edokko, and welcome to the Community,
As strange as it sounds, this is how to change the term of your Skype Number subscription:
Cancel, yes; cancel, your current month-to-month Skype Number subscription.  This will prevent the month-to-month subscription from renewing.  You have use of the Skype Number until the last day of the subscription.
Sign on to your account dashboard the next day or even the day of your current subscription's expiration, where you should be greeted with a triangle icon alerting you to reactivate your Skype Number.  Click on the link beside it, where you will be able to reinstate your subscription for a longer term.
(Your Skype Number will be held on your account for 90 days after the month-to-month subscription ends.)
Regards,
Elaine

  • 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:

  • My Skype number appears different to people I call

    When I call people on my Skype number the number that shows up on their caller ID is different than my Skype number. When they try to return my call using that number they can't get through. When they use my actual Skype number everything is fine. This is a recent problem. I've had the same Skype number for years and this has never happened before. Now it happens all the time. What's up?

    Check: Settings - Phone - Show my Caller ID = On
    If this option isn't available, you likely have a CDMA phone, and you will need to contact your cellular provider.

  • Skype number / Subscription confusion and frustrat...

    Hi,
    I signed up for a skype number two years ago and I've been using one since. During my first and second years, calls within the United States were included with the number. I just renewed and it and I can't make any calls within the United States so it seems like this is no longer the case. What exactly do you get with a Skype number, free incoming calls?
    I'm pretty frustrated right now. If that is all you're offering with this service then it's been a waste of my money, because I could just forward my cell calls to my google talk account for FREE. So, please tell me what I've just paid for, how I can get my mobile and land line calls at no additional charge, and, if nothing else, how it can be refunded (yes I did read the fine print).

    Hello Jeff and welcome to the Skype Community! I've just looked at your account and your calls are failing because you don't have a Subscription nor credit. Skype Numbers have been a standalone product for some time now.
    1. A Skype Number is for your contacts to call you - inbound calls - irrespective of your location. It travels with you wherever you go. Skype Number 
    2. To make calls to or within the USA you need either an Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription or some credit. Skype subscription Buy Skype credit
    3. Normally Skype Numbers aren't refundable but you can try by filing here:
    please contact Skype customer service

  • Skype Number Expires In One Year?!

    Let me begin my fury by first telling you this message I got from my Skype desktop software.
    The Skype Number +[Skype Number] will expire on 2014-10-07.
    What do I need to do?
    You can extend your number by signing into your account. There won't be any break between subscription periods – the new one will pick up right where the old one left off.
    [When I pasted the message, a number appeared not present in the original message. but I deleted it because it might be "confidential." I saved it in an RTF document in case you need it.]
    2 days ago 
    When I "signed into my account" there was no message that said I needed to "extend my number" NO WHERE AT ALL did it say "click here to extend the number." And I don't know why it wants me to "extend" the number each YEAR because I have an automatic payment subscription for every THREE MONTHS. I looked EVERYWHERE for supscriptions, and the only "subscriptions" were the "unlimited minutes", SEPARATE THREE MONTH AUTOMATIC PAYMENT SUBSCRIPTION from the Skype Number Automatic Payment Subscription. But there was no information about the Skype Number in the Subscriptions page.
    More Problems Occur!
    I ALREADY REGISTERED! I Am Already Signed In! Why does the Skype "Community" website want me to register?! I tried to use my username which it said it was already used by another user?!
    I Hate Skype!!
    I tried to open up a text chat with "customer service". The chat box malfunctioned.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
    Your account confirms that you have a 3 monthly Subscription to a Skype Number with the next automatic renewal date on October 7th 2014. The reason you received a message that it would expire is that your credit card expiry date will be reached before the new 3 month Number Subscription period ends on January 7th 2015. To ensure continuity of coverage you will need to provide updated credit card information before October 7th 2014. I'll check the other points you make and advise. Apologies for the confusion.

  • How can I pay for skype number for one year

    How can I pay for skype number for one year? 

    Hi, Orzo.Coffee, and welcome to the Community,
    I realize what I am about to write sounds a bit weird: to change the term of a Skype Number subscription, we need to permit it to expire, or in other words, reach the end of its term.  Your Skype Number will be held on account for you for 90 days following the expiration date, so you can sign in even on the same day you receive the e-mail stating your Skype Number subscription has expired, to reinstate the subscription and change the term.
    I had to ensure I had enough credit on account so my renewal would process successfully; if you plan to renew for a year and use credit for your payment method, remember to add enough credit to cover the cost of the annual subscription.  You could also change your payment method at the time you reinstate/renew your Skype Number subscription.
    Make sense?
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Skype STOLE my Skype Number after 4 years of ownin...

    I have been in a whirl with Skype's customer service now for 3 weeks. I can't believe how poorly I have been treated. Here is the story:
    I had a Skype number for nearly 4 years now. It was apparently up for renewal on Nov 8, 2013. I can't say why it did not renew. Skype claims my CC on file was expired which it was not. In addition they never notified me that it did not go though. The also did not notify me when they disconnected it. I only found out when a fried tried to call me then called my cell.
    I have at least 4 Skype operators in writing admitting they messed up and never contacted me. There is not a shred of an email, message, text, call nothing to indicate an issue with my number. Since I can still make outbound calls why would I know anything???
    Anyway the moment I became aware of the issues I tried to renew the number. It was FEB 14th and the number had gone back into the available pool. Someone of course had already reserved the number. Luckily the Skype operator ABIGAIL M said it was ok as they did not pay for it and it would be available again on MARCH 4th so I should sit tight and grab it again then. I am sorry I decided to calm down and agree to this...
    March 4th I sign on at 11:20AM Eastern and surprise the number is still not available. I get back on with Skype operator CHERRY O who tries to tell me I can't get the number back for another 60 days and that ABIGAIL M was wrong to say 30 days. I lose it at this point and sign off to try again with another operator later.
    At 7PM Eastern I get online with JAIME T who now informs me that ABIGAIL M was right and it was CHERRY O who was wrong. Problem is that before I could grab my number back that someone else had already taken it and paid for it! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
    Then March 5th from 7:20PM Eastern though 11:30PM Eastern I go through RACHEL N, JESUS M and finally RYAN M. I am begging every one of these people to SIMPLY CONTACT THE NEW BUYER and POLITELY ASK THEM TO SWITCH NUMBERS. They don't have to agree to change but would assumingly as they wouldn't want to get calls for me from 4 years of business contacts, etc.
    NOT ONE OF THE 5 SKYPE OPERATORS HELPED RESOLVE THIS. None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
    Skype has done nothing for me other than to repeatedly say "sorry".
    SOMEONE STEP UP, GO UP THE LADDER TO WHOEVER CAN RESOLVE THIS. I mean really it shouldn't be that hard and it's 100% Skypes fault - over and over in this incident.

    Hi, ScottMaggie, and welcome to the Community,
    I have referred your report to those to whom I report; I am not affiliated with Skype Customer Service.
    What you so well describe here, a number transfer (highlighted by me in orange type) is not something Skype has the facility to do:
    None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
    In the system's simplicity, there is no flexibility. 
    Just out of curiosity ... and curiosity alone, have you checked the e-mail address on your account to double-check it is the correct registered e-mail address?  I ask because I recently did a Skype Number renewal, and I received e-mail alerts every step of the way. 
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • No option for buying additional Skype NUMBER year ...

    It is stunning how invisible this payment option which should be simple is.
    I have a skype number. My initial payment was paypal, and for 3 months. Now, no matter where I look, I have the option of changing the payment type (to visa etc), cancelling the subscription, or paying another quarter. However, all the HELP everywhere says 'no problem' sign up for 3 month or a year.   I'm completely stumped, after an hour of searching for what should take 3 minutes.

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

  • Skype Number How do I change billing to Yearly

    I have just taken a Skype number and wanted to try it out first on a months payment plan....
    I now want to change this to an anual payment plan how do I do this?

    Hi, Tropheus, and welcome to the Community,
    I know this sounds bizarre, however what you need to do is let your Skype Number subscription run its course and expire.  Once it does, then you can sign on to your account details where you manage your payment methods, subscriptions, and so on, and Reactivate the number.  When you do, you can change the term of the subscription.
    After your Skype Number expires, the number will be held for you for 90 days.

    Elaine

  • 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.
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Hardware/Ringer-equivalence-number-for-Freetalk-Connect-Me-device/m-p/...
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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!)

  • USA skype number not working

    Have a toll free number purchased elsewhere and then purchased a skype USA number to have the calls forwarded to that.
    Skype number doesn't work.  Spent 3 hours with skype instant chat support 10 days ago and problem could not be resolved so it was "esacalated to a higher leverl" with NO time frame given for a resolution.
    A week later no resolution and no contact from skype so again spent another 2 hours on skype instant chat support and asked for a refund.  Was passed to another support person to get the refund but this person only wanted to go through the whole thing again until after an hour later I finally had to demand several times for a refund. 
    Was then told I could not have a refund but instead I could have a voucher to obtain another skype USA number for free.  Went through all the steps to obtain this number with the voucher but it didn't work.  Received an email to say here is your skype number (no number shown) and enjoy with family and friends.  Got back to skype support who was waiting and told her what happened. 
    Spent another hour on instant chat support and had to send screen shots to show that I was now being asked for another payment even though the voucher had been verified and accepted.
    Problem still could not be resolved and again I was told that my issue would be escalated to a higher level but NO time frame could be given.
    SKYPE!!!  You have got to be joking with me right?  Wrong!  Still no resolution and my customers have no way to contact me because the phone number doesn't work.  Losing money every day in lost sales to my business.
    Is there any skype support person out there who cares and can do something about this shoddy non-service?
    Not happy

    Thank you
    Hi,
    I an having the same issue. I have had my number for years and ported it out to a prepaid plan. After I forgot to reload the prepaid phone, it quickly canceled my plan and number.  When I searched Skype for a similar number, I was surprised to see my number back in the Skype Number Pool.  So I repurchased it and I didn't notice the problem until when I tried to port it back to Tmobile and after days of waiting and troubleshooting by Tmobile, they told me they couldn't get the number transferred because it's not my number and they said that the landline company who holds or owns or carries the number can't be reached. This has been going on for almost a year now. 
    After further research, I read that those phone number carriers who sell phone numbers in wholesale are called CLEC. There are only a handful of those companies.  I am don't know what to do and Skype can't help me either.  I really need to get this resolved. 
    If you were able to get your number working, please let me know.  The message that callers of my number get is this "you have reached THE non working number, announcement 1 4 switch 2 0 - 4". 

  • Online Skype number is in use by a local hospital

    The Skype number I selected is apparently still in use by a local hospital. Whenever I make outgoing calls to my friends land lines or mobile phones, their caller ID shows the local hospital name and my Skype number. Also, when people call my Skype number, they get the local hospital, not me.
    I called my Skype number from my land line and spoke to the hospital and they say that my Skype number has been in use at the hospital for over 20 years.
    How can I get my number changed or correct this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello martm81
    Apologies for this mix-up. Please contact Customer Support and let them know your assigned Skype Number is an existing number, so they can cancel your subscription and remove it from the database.
