Skype online number doesn't display in Hong Kong, ...

Hi all,
I've subscribed a Skype number in Hong Kong, set it as my caller ID. However, whonever I call in Hong Kong, it only show as Unknown Caller. On the other hand, if I call someone in Australia, the number does come up correctly as +852XXXXXXXX. Anyway got any idea?
Thanks,
Ray

  • Sign up screen for Skype online number doesn't giv...

    I am trying to register for an online Skype number. But when I get to the screen asking for an area code, there are no options. So I can't proceed beyond this point. I live in Texas. Are there any restrictions in Texas that might be preventing me from getting an online Skype number? Or is there a web site problem? I have a valid Skype account and apps loaded on my computer and iphone. Frustrating...

  • No meaning to get skype online number

    No meaning to get skype online number, i subscribed for whole year online number, but the online number doesn't work most of the time, I am very upset, disappointed, and my friends are also very upset, angry and worry when they can't find me through the online number i bought, i am too busy to complain the quality, but now I need to voice this BIG BIG PROBLEM. I am using android reception Orange . Skype has to compensate me!!
    Also if I am out and call my other country friends from my mobile through Skype, most of the time the sound quality is very very bad, they can't hear my words, like under the water, so what is the point i pay money to Skype !?!?

    I have the same problem, after I choose my state, the area codes are 'loading' but none are displayed in the drop down menu. I tried this a few days ago as I was exploring this option and phone numbers for my area code were shown. So,  a  temporary glitch?

  • My Skype Online Number is not working

    Bought a skype online number in UK last week, it works fine for two days then that's it, now it is telling callers " the person you are trying to reach is not available leave a message after the tone". Is this some kind of fraud or what. I tried calling the number while I am sitting in front of the PC sign on, still no show. I am highly disappointed, because the purpose of the number has been defeated.  Skype is a bloody joke. May be I should just stick with the free services.

    See this thread: http://community.skype.com/t5/Online-Number/Fact-Online-Numbers-Are-Broken/td-p/774814
    In short, "yes it is some kind of fraud". If you paid with a credit card I suggest you file a dispute with the credit card company to get a refund, because trying to get a refund issued by Skype personnel for a service you paid for that they fail to provide is like pulling teeth. Since the only people you can actually contact are tech support folks in the Philippines who have no access to any of Skype's servers or cash flow, it's actually like trying to pull teeth from someone who doesn't even have any teeth.

  • Forwarding cell phone number to skype online numbe...

    Is it possible to forward cell phone number to skype online number?  If so, what do I need to do to set it up?  Also, would my carrier (T-Mobile) charge me minutes for forwarded calls? Thanks.

    Maybe.  Your phone should have settings to set forwarding for all calls to your T-Mobile number. If you enable that, your T-Mobile phone won't ring anymore, but you could still use your phone to make calls and for sending/receiving SMS or MMS messages. 
    If you are asking about forwarding calls when the mobile phone is on but you don't answer the phone, instead of those calls going to a T-Mobile voicemail system, you *may* be able to change that.  T-Mobile doesn't let you do that on a prepaid phone, and that appears to be the same if you use some other prepaid services that ride on T-Mobile's network like Straight Talk. It may be possible on a postpaid plan (one where you get a monthly invoice to pay). 
    As for what T-Mobile would charge, you'd have to check on your plan or contact T-Mobile.  Some plans have unlimited calling that includes call-forwarding, others only provide for a certain number of minutes for call-forwarded calls a month, and then there are some "plans" that make you pay for anything that is call-forwarded from your T-Mobile number.  The T-Mobile web site may be able to help answer that, or a call to their customer service number will need to be made.
    Good luck!

  • Freetalk Office Phone & Skype Online Number

    When reviewing the product description for the Freetalk Office Phone, it was unclear to me whether or not the phone will work with your Skype Online Number.  For example, if someone calls my online number then will the Freetalk Office Phone ring??  Also if I call someone from the Freetalk Office Phone then will they see my Skype Online Number on the caller ID?
    Thanks!
    James

    Hi, If you buy a Skype phone and an online number anyone who calls it either from a landline, mobile or Skype ID, the phone will ring. If you are signed on on another device be it a computer or IPhone app all devices will ring. As long as the Skype phone is switched on and has Internet connection it will be online 24 x 7. If you need any more info please get in touch.
    Feel free to contact us on Skype ID: tetra4comms

  • Transfer expired skype online number

    Hi , my skype online number will expires at the end of this month and I want to transfer/assign the number into another skype account.
    From what I understood here, its not possible to transfer online number from one account to another and I will have to wait until it expires then I can buy it again using my other skype account.
    My question is : Should I wait until the online number subscription expires then buy it again through my other Skype account or is there away around this situation ? 
    And how can I buy it again using my other Skype account without waiting for 90 days after the number expire/deactivate which is the period of time needed for the number to go back again to the available Skype online numbers pool .
    Thanks

    you cannot transfer a Skype Number from one account to another . . . period
    when the number expires it is held for you for 90 days in case you wish to reactivate it -- if an when you reactivate it during this period it will still be associated with the original Skype Name
    if the 90 days expires before you reactivate the number, then the number will be made available to ANYONE that happens to choose it (and that almost certainly WON'T be you)
    Regards,
    Neil

  • Using U.S. Skype online number and forwarding to F...

    Hello, I am a U.S. citizen but will be living in France for four months. I need to be able to effectively be in touch with business and family back in the U.S.
    What I'm planning on doing is purchasing a prepaid SIM from Orange or another French carrier. Incoming calls from French numbers are free, so I was wondering if Skype would be able to fill in the gaps. If I were to get a U.S. Skype online number, is there a way where I could forward the calls directly to my French prepaid number?
    Thank you in advance. I apologize if this has already been repeatedly answered. I used to be on top of all of Skype's offerings, but since the Microsoft takeover, I'm confused.

    forwarding your US Skype Number to a French mobile number will require you to have adequate Skype Credit (or possibly a subscription) to cover the cost of the forwarded calls
    you can forward your US Skype Number to a French mobile number in your account settings at www.skype.com
    Regards,
    Neil
