Skype Online Number is not working!!!!!!

Hello,
I've recently renewed my online number subscription and none of my friends of family can get hold of me. I'm really disappointed! My skype number is +1[edited for privacy]. This number does not work at all - can you please advise me asap - is it possible to change this number?
My purchase details are as follows:
Skype Name: afrikaallen
Product name: Online Number, 3 month subscription [edited for privacy]
Total amount: GBP11.50
Transaction date: Oct 24, 2012
Order number: [removed for privacy]
Order status: Delivered
I'm really dissatisfied!!
Hope this can be resolved soon.
Thanks,
A.M

Does anyone know how to complain to Skype? I paid $30 for a Skype number, which has never worked. Everytime people call me they are directed to a voice mail. And it's not because my Skype is not turned on. It is!! Just to make sure that the problem was not at the end of my callers, I did a little experiement and called my Skype number (after turning on the iphone skype app), but got the same result as others -- a voice mail recording. It is very frustrating because there is no recourse. Skype is taking us for a ride. It's a scam.

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.

Hej
Our online number is not working when trying to call from Telia mobile phones in denmark. I have checked with Telia in Denmark and they tell us that the problem is a "prefix" that is set wrong from SKYPE's side?
Could someone at skype please help get this fixed, as some of our customers can not call us.

Hi,
I have the pretty same problem: cannot receive calls from skype (internet) on my cell phone. I went to Telenor, but they said it has something to do with skype, not with them.
Skype staff !!! Help !

Hi Norman,
Same thing with me...
I was receiving the skype emails giving updates on the issue about the Online numbers in Brazil.
Then, I got an email on June 30 saying that we could try to keep the same number, but skype was opening a new line and my subscription would be transfered to that number. And also, I would be getting 2 additional months free for the inconvenience... The email was very confusing and there were no clear instructions on how to proceed. It is copied below:
"As you know, on May 4, Transit Telecom unilaterally decided to terminate its relationship withSkype...
We realize that you may prefer to keep the previous Skype Online Number you had through Transit Tele...
Well, what happened was that I got a new number and both (the old and the new) have been showing as active in my account. My subscription (recently renewed for 1 year) is linked to my old number, that does not work (always busy).
The new number, opened on the day that I have received the email above, has worked fine ever since, but is going to expire in 10 days and there is no indication that my subscription will be transfered from the old (not working) number to the new number (good one) when it expires...
I will not buy an extension for the new number since I've already gotten it for the old one... I just need my subscription linked to a number that actually works, which ever number it is...
Oh, and I tried changing the privacy settings to allow receiving calls from anyone... Didn't work !
I am looking forward to hearing back from you hopefully with a solution.
Thank you !

An Online Number is to receive calls. To make calls you need Credits or a subscription.

My Online number is not working

My online number is not displayed on my clients phone based in USA. I have tried calling on my mobile and a +4044, +3444.... numbers are displayed.
This is really rediculus as you have already charged me for the service

You didn't mention which country your Online Number was from. Not all of Skype's Online Numbers can be used for Caller ID. If it is from a country where its use as Caller ID is permitted (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you can set that up here on the Skype web site. Click on the Account link at the top of this page, then log in with your Skype account name and password. Once you get in, you should see Caller ID Settings along with a link to change that.
Even if you have your Caller ID number properly set in your Skype account, there are instances where that number won't show up on the phones you call. This is usually related to how the calls are patched into the telephone network, and would be beyond the control of Skype.

Purchased online number is not working

I recently renewed a year subscription to my online number, but when I make calls the number is not showing up. It is showing up an either an unknown number or a 661 number. Also, I cannot receive calls either. This is extremely frustrating because I am from the USA, but I am currently living in another country and this is my sole communication to my family and friends in America. Can someone please assist me in alleviating this problem. Is there someone I can personally talk with from Skype over the phone, rather than this message board?

Online number is not working

Hi, I recently bought a 02081 London online number in Skype but for two days it has been the same problem. When I call the number it says there is a high demand for this number, try later. What can I do to fix this since I am expecting calls on this new number Adeel

Have you tried this.
First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

Hi,
My name is David and I own a Skype online number.
I am from Italy and it is an Italian phone number.
All of a sudden it stopped working and I need to use it for work!
Please help.
I was reading online that many other Italian users are experiencing the same issue.
Is it because of your agreement with Eutelia???
Please assist.
Thanks, David.

Skype number unreliable / not working?

I am using Skype on a Galaxy S3.
Ever since I signed up for a Skype number I have had people emailing me saying that they were unable to contact me on the Skype number that I gave them. This has become more frequent just recently and I have missed some important calls.
When I call my Skype number from a landline it's a bit hit and miss if a connection is made.... sometimes I get "number not recognised" response from the landline. People who have attempted to call me report similar isssue or sometimes that the number is continually busy and does not go to voicemail.
I called skype support yesterday via Live Chat and was talking to the support guy for 1h 20min and achieved nothing.... he blamed it on everything from my phone provider, internet provider, that my email account was overloaded etc etc ... I think the guy must have bored and was having a joke with me..... that or he was a complete and total utter ####### idiot.
I have attached a screen shot showing settings on my Skype account page.
Currently (23 Jan) my Skype number is not working at all... when I attempt to call from landline I
get the message "the numebr that you have dialled has not been recognised"
Anyone else having reliability issues with a Skype number? Unless I get the issue resolved I will be cancelling account as it is worthless to me in it's current working state.
One more question.... I managed it yesterday, but cannot find it tooday, but how **bleep** do you get to the link for Live Chat.... all i do is get directed to send email???

Skype online number working status in UAE

Hi,
As you already know that UAE lifted the ban on Skype, Please let me know that If I have USA online on skype will it work in UAE if some one call me over Skype online number.
Thanks

Hi will_hulse
I had exactly the same problem and just chatted to a Skype Customer Service agent for about half an hour where they made me jump through incredible trobleshooting hoops that any trained money would know was not addressing the real issue. Eventually they admitted that you cannot use 00 to replace the + when calling a Skype number from a landline or mobile. My Skype number works fine if I make the call to it from within the Skype dialler but not from other phones dialling to that number Internationally. Also on my iphone I held down the 0 to produce the + sumbol and typed in the rest of my Internationa number and even that didn't work. This is a pretty horrendous major issue and I believe that anyone who has paid for a Skype number that needs to receive calls to it from overseas needs to be reimbursed or this issue MUST be fixed immediately. It's completely crazy and unnaceptable. Quite a con!
