Skype phone adaptor for Windows 7

I was using a D-Link DPH-50U phone line adaptor to connect to a 2-line phone and a wireless headset with reasonable success on Windows XP. Now that I've moved to Windows 7, the D-link device does not work any more. Are there any hardware phone adaptors that work with Win 7?
Thanks!

I think this is not ptibile with Skype for business. Available on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

Skype 6.1 for Windows Desktop with Outlook Integra...

Introducing Skype 6.1 for Windows, now with Outlook integration and a visual update to the toolbar. This is an exciting update because the time spent on email by many people is still significant. And if you're like many of us who work at Skype, we spend lots of time toggling between our email and Skype desktop clients. Now it's really convenient to send a Skype instant message, start a free Skype to Skype call, or make a call to any mobile or landline - all within Outlook.
NB: The Outlook integration does not work with the Outlook 2013 preview version. You need to either use Outlook 2010 or upgrade to the final Outlook 2013 once that is available.
More details showing the feature in use in several screenshots can be found in our Skype news blog article.
We'd love to hear about your experience trying it out. As we also did some minor tweaks and improvements and are happy to hear your feedback about this update by posting here on the Skype Community.

Skype phone number for my business as an expatriate

Hello everyone, I am looking to use skype for my business, more exactly, I am an expatriate and I need to buy/use a skype phone number that has the same format as local numbers have in my homeland. Before I invest in one of those numbers, what I would like to know - for sure - is: 1 - Are skype numbers like any other landline numbers, meaning is there any way a client finds out the number he/she is calling is not a genuine/regular landline number? 2 - If the client is let's say in Canada, my skype number looks like a local French landline (eg: 0141315184) number, and my computer is in Zimbabwe, will the client pay more than if the computer was in France?. 3 - If the client again calls from Canada, dialing my skype number will be as for regular landlines right? eg: +33[removed for privacy] Thank you in advance for support.

I need help please
I have a website with 1000+ members (1000+ phone numbers). I need members to call each other once we give them approval to contact via phone. However, I don't want them to see each other's number (also, it should show while dialing) but just click on logo and the other site phone rings (system will search database and call number assosiated to a profile.)
I have my PHP developers but they are not sure how to even start and out of ideas. And even if we do it on our website, will it destroy our site's performance/bandwidth...etc

How to make backward compatibility of windows phone 8.1 app for windows phone 7?

I developed windows phone 8.1 app which is in windows phone store. Now, i want to make this app compatible for windows 7 also. Is it possible, if yes then how?

It may be that you are using non-backward compatible capabilities in your Windows Phone 8.1 app(s).
Developers that want to develop for different OS's usually have platforms with the different OS's on them for developing applications so they work on each platform.
I suppose you developed for Windows phone 8.1 rather than Windows phone 7. Therefore your app runs on a different framework than a Windows phone 7 has as well as probably newer hardware with greater capabilities.
So you will probably need to purchase an older phone that came with Windows phone 7 in order to develop for. I couldn't find documentation like the last link below (App capabilities and hardware requirements for Windows Phone 8) for Windows phone 7
from Microsoft but maybe you can.
Windows Phone OS 7.1 - Developing a Windows Phone Application from Start to Finish
Types of Applications
The Windows Phone application platform provides two frameworks for developing applications:
Silverlight
The Silverlight framework supports event-driven, XAML-based application development.
XNA
The XNA Framework supports loop-based games.
Silverlight and XNA can also be combined in a single application.
The following table lists some of the criteria that you can use to determine whether you should use Silverlight or the XNA Framework for your Windows Phone application. With Windows Phone OS 7.1, you can combine Silverlight and XNA into one application.
For more information about Silverlight and XNA, see
The Silverlight and XNA Frameworks for Windows Phone. For more information about the application platform, see
Application Platform Overview for Windows Phone.
What's New in Windows Phone 8.1
Platform convergence with Windows Store apps
Windows Phone 8.1 introduces an important change in the Windows Phone developer ecosystem. In this release, Windows Phone converges with the Windows Store apps platform into a single developer platform that runs the same types of apps—Windows Runtime apps.
Platform convergence began in Windows Phone 8, which supports a small subset of Windows Runtime APIs, but which differs from Windows in many core areas. In Windows Phone 8.1, there’s so much more in common—a much larger API set, a similar app model
and life cycle, a shared toolset, a common UI framework—Windows Phone and Windows Store app developer platforms truly have become one, single development platform.
Of course there are still some small differences in behavior and supported features between Windows Phone and Windows Store apps. Some of these are the result of timing of the different product cycles, and they may not appear in future releases. Some differences
are the result of the different natures of phones and computers, their sizes, and the way people use them. We encourage developers to think in terms of Windows app development—developing for a single Windows Runtime, but targeting two different platforms on
phones and computers.

Live sdk for windows 7 desktop

I have only windows 7 on my computer....should I download live sdk 5.6 or 5.5?
I see sdk samples and managed api support mentioned only for store and windows phone 8.
for windows 7 desktop apps, what are the options?
is it sdk 5.5 and REST calls with webrequest?

I've verified the following desktop sample code works in Windows 8 desktop mode. It seems like it'd also work in Windows 7 as well.

Submit: Great Skype for Windows Phone ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Phone idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows Phone.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video Messaging
We‘ve just launched Video Messaging on Windows Phone so you can now send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging on Windows Phone and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Phone Integration
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for Windows Phone? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Calling
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Instant Messaging
Video calling is one of Skype’s most popular features. What do/don’t you like about Video calling on Skype for Windows Phone and do you have any ideas for how we can make video calling even better?
Some things to include:
Start with a clear title
add appropriate label(s)
list features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.

What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic here.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who and how often moderates/ manages the ideas board?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a monthly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
I have an idea to improve the Windows Phone software itself?
Microsoft has set up a Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box for exactly that purpose. Share your idea here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include areTake a photoChoose from albumsSearch from webDeleteThat appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate. That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

New Skype Emoji not appearing on Skype for Windows Phone

Posted here because I couldn't select "Skype for mobile" in the Windows 10 Edge browser... I've noticed that emoji like (Windows10) do not appear in Skype on Windows Phone. Instead, I see an empty white box. I also don't see the text of the emoji. Seems like an issue with Skype for Windows Phone where the app understands that (Windows10) is an emoji, but can't find the image to display.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option only).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Skype WiFi for Windows Phone

How do I download Skype WiFi on my Windows phone, when I tap download Skype Wifi from my Windows phone it goes to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-wifi/id444529922?mt=8

2014-08-04. Yesterday i was in great need of Skype WIFI on Heathrow. But no! Microsoft/Skype still don't have Skype wifi for Windows Phone but has it for all competing mobile platforms! How does that make sense? If MS won't support Windows Phone, who will??
Maybe it is as it should be? I had this discussion with a gentleman that was sincerely convinced, there has been a major policy change at Microsoft HQ regarding Skype. He belived the buy of Skype insyead really was a kind of a hostile buy, in order to close Skype as it it is shaped today, instead in a future introduce a new type of coomunication programme similar to Skype, but totally different and more profitable and when launched a closure/abandoment of Skype will be done.
I don't know, but it was a really well suited gentleman...

Is it ok to reply to this topic? There isn't a warning against it...
But I wanted to complain about all the stupid questions in the survey. You keep repeating the same "is this too polite?" stuff. I don't care about any of this. What I care about is how terribly laggy and unresponsive this app is on my Lumia.
Oh, and the fact that it is constantly online even when I'm not using it is also terrible.
Seriously, I'm using a WINDOWS PHONE, MICROSOFT'S OS! Why is Skype so bad on it?!

Skype for Windows Phone 7

I use a lumia 710 purchased two years back. Within 3 months of buying it, Windows 8 came to market. I believed in Windows Phone because of good battery back up and durability. Windows 7 is no longer considered by any application developers. I can't even install uber app. Most apps are developed for Windows 8. While other developers ignore Windows 7 users, how can MICROSOFT DEVELOPERS ignore us ? I cannot install SKYPE in Lumia 710. Why is the app not available for us? The app was available earlier in Windows Market Place, but no longer for Windows 7. Is that a way of forcing Windows 7 users to change to 8 ? Then why not give the option of upgrading OS. I asked the Nokia care centre and I am told, it cannot be done. Why force us to change phones just because apps are not available? Why not continue atleast Microscoft service related apps for Windows 7 ? I read in another post in the forum, that skype is not supported in Lumia 510 due to hardware issues. If it is so, then how was the app available earlier ???

Very very disappointed. Sorry about windows phone. I have argued quit a lot with friends. Trying to convince them that WP are extremely good and nice to work with. Unfortunately they keep telling me about the poor apps of WP. Unfortunately I can now start seeing the problem. Guess what, I wasconsidering of buying my father a WP. Guess what. I will probably stick to android. Badly played about that. Farewell. Disappointed 7.8 WP customer from Athens Greece.
