Can I use US Skype number while out of the country

I would like to be able to forward my work phone to a local US skype number and answer while traveling out of the country. Is this possible?
If not, how would I do this?

Yes, you can use a US Skype Number while you're out of the country.
Even if you're overseas your friends and relatives can call your US Skype Number at local rates. When they want to call you, simply sign in to Skype and answer the call when it rings – and you pay nothing to answer the call.

My Skype number used in a tech scam.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else before but today I received a voicemail from a man who had received a phone call from my Skype number. Whoever was using the number had claimed to be from Microsoft and was trying to access sensitive information on his HDD.
I double checked with the guy and the scammer was indeed using my Skype number. I've already contactd support about this but wanted to know if this has happened before/warn others.
I've been getting calls from numbers I don't recognize for weeks and have never bothered to return them. I definitely will now. Probably could have found out about this sooner if I had.

Can I buy a skype number outside of my own country...

I live in the US but have many friends in Denmark, can I buy a Denmark number and they can call me and I can call them?

You should be able to purchase a Danish Online Number. Online Numbers for some countries have a residency requirement, where you have to supply an address in that country to get the Online Number.
Getting the Online Number would allow you to receive calls from telephones with your Skype account. You would still need to use Skype Credit, or purchase a subscription, if you want to call telephones in Denmark using Skype. Click on "Pay As You Go" below for the per-call pricing using Skype Credit, or "Subscriptions" to see the monthly/yearly subscriptions that are available. Online Numbers do not include any privileges or benefits for calling telephone numbers, except for certain Online Numbers that can be used as Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype.
Hope this helps!

Skype number used for unauthorised charges to othe...

Hi, I live in London and have registered a Central London landline no. (0207-) on Nov 11, with call forwarding to my mobile. Since then, I have received calls from two individuals that they have been advised by their mobile providers that this no. has been charging unauthorised amounts to their mobiles. I believe that this was probably before I registered the no., but I can't be entirely sure. Does skype screen their no.s at all? Is this something that Skype can help track or offer a solution to? Thanks.

please contact Skype customer service

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

Skype Number for Spain

I'd want to get a Skype number for Spain, but the country is not listed among those available..
However, I remember there were numbers available for Spain a while ago.
Will there be numbers again anytime soon?

Hi,
I would like have information about available virtual number in Spain. Thanks

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.

Skype number - change accounts

I have paid 3 months for a Skype number. However, I recently opened a new account (to distinguish between personal and business contacts). How can I update my Skype number so that it is assigned to my new account?

Hi, akmodi, and welcome to the Community,
Skype's system of changing the term of an existing subscription is different from most: what you need to do is to cancel your current subscription, which will disable automatic renewal. Your current Skype Number will continue to work until the last day of the subscription.
Your current Skype Number will remain on account for 90 days following the current subscription's expiration date, during which timeframe you can sign on to your account dashboard and renew (reactivate) your Skype Number subscription for a different term.
Last time I checked, and the last time I renewed a Skype Number, the 50% renewal discount was available when we had a concurrently running rate plan subscription (e.g. "Unlimited World").
Regards,
Elaine

Using a Skype number in another country?

Hey all, take a look at this link:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA247/how-much-will-it-cost-my-friends-to-call-my-skype-number
Im in Australia and will be travelling overseas soon. Can i buy a Skype number with an Australian area code and use that in another country, e.g. Thailand.
More importantly, wouldn't this mean that my friends calling me from Australia would only be calling me on local rates, since I am essentially tricking the system by pretending I am in Australia.
The following however suggests such a trick may not be possible : "Note that before you can set up a Skype Number for certain countries, you need to provide proof of residence." (although since I am in Australia at the moment and a resident, it shuldnt be a problem for me).
Just seems to good to be true.
Thanks

this only applies to CERTAIN countries (the majority of countries where Skype Nunbers are offered do not have this restriction) -- click here for more details https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number#4
otherwise Skype Numbers work as you have outlined -- you get an Australian number that the expected callers will ideally call at local rates, and your signed in Skype client magically rings wherever in the world you are physically located
buy a calling subscription before buying your Skype Number and you qualify for up to a 50% discount on your Skype Number (depending on the subscription length that you choose)

HT1807 I travelled to a different country & using a new sim; with the change in sim, I have been unable to use iMessage & FaceTime. Cant replace replace the earlier no with the current one and it reads error. how to correct this?

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
Thanks for your help.

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I just bought a Skype number and minutes. When I call the number, I hear a greeting for a local business here in town.
Has it been provisioned correctly?

Hi, 1800unlocks, and welcome to the Community,
Excellent question, and one which only Skype Customer Service can answer as we here in the Community do not have the tools to test and resolve such issues. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of existing problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and - very important! - choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent. Please see also this:
