Skype numbers for canada:

Is there a reason I can't get a skype number for Canada? I have used skype for 3 years and would like to have a number for when I am in Asia.

I have been waiting for years to get a Canadian number. They've been telling me it's in the work pretty much since it's launched. It's crazy that it's not available here. Now that Microsoft has taken over, hopefully they'll make it a priority to get that for us.
Why have we really not gotten any access to this service yet?

  • Skype number for Canada

    I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm trying to set up a skype number for Canada, but it wont let me.
    How do I get a number for my area code?

    Hi, CanadianSkype, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available in Canada.  I understand from Canadian Super User Neil and Moderator NormanM that this is due to a regulatory restriction.
    Kind regards,

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • US Skype numbers for business use

    Hello team,

    Thank you. 
    Best,

    Hi, Maegia20, and welcome to the Community,
    A Skype Number is associated with a Skype Account, so whomever you are referring to may set up a Skype Number subscription with a number based in the USA.  Skype Numbers can be answered from anywhere.

  • No Skype Numbers for Washington DC?

    I'm new to Skype, so forgive me if I'm missing somthing here, but when I tried to set up a skype number and used the drop-down box to designate a state & area code, there was no option to designate Washington DC, so I couldn't proceed.  Anyone know what I need to do?   Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi, the3spirit, and welcome to the Community,
      Using FireFox , I found Area Code 202 telephone numbers available for Washington, D.C. - listed under District of Columbia.  Maine and Hawaii are two states I am aware of where Skype Numbers are not available.

  • Lack of country options for Skype Numbers

    Why is it that there's not many Skype numbers for Latin American countries? one of the biggest and fast growing regions in the world now and you only have numbers for Chile and Brazil..
    Whey are you planning to expand to Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, etc. There is a lot of startup businesses in Latin America and (we) young professionals need this kind of services to catch up.
    Hope to see it happen very, very soon.

    I fully agree!!!! we need an ONLINE NUMBER to COLOMBIA!!! come on Microsoft! open your Cooporative eyes to the new reallity of the Market....!!!!!!

    That depends upon when the Canadian telco authorities get around to issuing the necessary lisenses.

  • How to get multiple numbers for a business?

    Hi-
    We use Skype as our means of communication for our company.   We like everyone to have a Skype number, however we have reached a major roadblock.  Everytime we add a new person and try to get them a Skype number it locks the account for fraud, apparently because we used the same credit card on multiple accounts.
    Trying to fill out a form to request for Skype to unlock the account has gotten nowhere.
    So I guess my question is, how can we buy multiple Skype numbers for multiple people at our company using 1-2 credit cards and not have all the accounts get frozen?
    Brian

    Hi, CSBrian, and welcome to the Community,
    Have you looked into a Skype Manager configuration to see if that might meet your company's needs? (see below)  If these are all "personal" accounts that are being set up, and that the employees could take with them when they leave the firm, could they not fund their own Skype Number and be reimbursed by the company?  Just thinking out loud here.
    Skype will not bend regarding the number of credit cards used to fund accounts rules.   I applaud Skype's anti-fraud protocols despite the fact at times these rules are inconvenient, to say the very least.  Contact Skype Customer Service again to request the accounts in question be released.
    Here are links to more information about setting up a Skype Manager profile:

  • New numbers for each contact?

    Do I have to have different "skype numbers" for each contact in the U.S. when calling from my mobile phone in Chile?  Or is there a way to call one local number to connect to Skype and then dial the U.S. number I want?

    Ok, but how do I do the second option?  I only know how to get different skype numbers for each contact.
    Hello,
    Call your SkypeToGo # to set up a call and then dial the # of the individual contact you wish to call. This may assist:

  • Why is Canada not included for skype numbers?

  • I pay for 3 skype numbers (have for 7+ years) only...

    I've been trying to get 'support' to help but the best they've been able to do is 'promise' to provide a voucher for 12 months of a third skype number. That *was* OK until I started getting emails from "Jack L" on the "Skype Tier 2 Team" asking for screen shots of the charge for 12 months that the web site asks for. I can't reply to his emails (from email address is a bunch of [email protected] - it bounces) so I've forwarded the screen shots to other support people I've worked with on the issue. This has been going on since December. Support request number is SRX1273613357ID / 4071137859 Looks - I'm over it. I have been paying for three skype numbers, every month since 2007. The details are in that ticket number. You can get Skype into every major motion picture released in 2014 I think you can set up my paid for subscription service.

    This is a community forum. Very few, if any can assist in account matters and payments. Most likely, it will be faster to contact customer service, and give them the case numbers you are reffering to:

    You might be lucky and get help here, but since noone in the community can do anything about this, you're better off with support I guess. 

  • "Track Shipment" is iOS4 does not work for Canada Post tracking numbers

    Not 100% sure this is the best forum to post this but couldn't find an iOS specific forum.
    When an email arrives with a shipment tracking number embedded in it, iOS4 is smart enough to recognize it and turn it into a link. You click the link, select "Track Shipment" and in theory you get sent off to the appropriate shipment tracking website.
    Problem is that this does not work for Canada Post tracking numbers, I get sent to the USPS tracking site instead of the Canada Post one. I assume that the number format is similar but there must be a way to distinguish between CPC tracking numbers and USPS tracking numbers (by range ?).

    This has since become working in 4.0 and higher.
    I noticed I now get a notes folder for each of my email accounts (ie. in my case; MobileMe gets one, Gmail gets another, and Virgin Media a yet another). And all three since accordingly correctly between Notes mailbox on iPhone 4 and it's counterpart Notes mailbox in the mac mail app under Reminders section.
    Additionally, just like other main mailboxes (inbox, drafts, sent, trash, junk), they also have a "unified" box at the top in both mac and iphone, in order to view notes in all email accounts at the same time.
    Hooray Apple, shame it took so long, but at least it's here now

    Hello,
    1. Legal requirements imposed by the CRTC prevent Canadian Skype Numbers being offered. This may assist:  http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/Canada-and-other-countries-Online-Number-alternative/m-p/...
    2. Participation in the Skype Number program requires local telecom carriers to guarantee a supply of available numbers. At present the Thai carriers are unable to meet that requirement.
