Skype phone numbers; what do I get for what I pay?

Hey all, first time user here so please bear with me.
I'm ditching my home phone and getting a Skype phone instead.
My plan is to get a 12-month unlimited plan for Canada and the US, and a Skype Phone Number.
Problem is, I'm not sure if I can get a Canadian number.
If I *CAN* get a Canadian number, I need to know if I automatically get one when I sign up for a 12-month unlimited plan.
Finally, I need to know if I can log in to any Skype-supported device and use this unlimited plan, be it on a computer, mobile phone, iPad or game console.
Thanks very much for your help!!

Hello,
1. Unfortunately there are no Canadian Online #s.
2. You can make calls from a computer or Skype compliant phone using either a Skype Call Plan or Skype Credit.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.
Please note that I generally don't respond to unsolicited Private Messages. Thank you.

WCS annual support: what do I get for extra AP license packs?

I am not trying to be snide here, but I am having a difficult time understanding what new value I get for an extra SAU annual support package that my Cisco Partner says I now need, since I added additional AP licenses to the WCS software. This add-on SAU will more than double my annual support costs for the WCS software. I've called and emailed my partner several times on this, and basically it came down to "that's how Cisco does it now." I've also done on-line chat and a couple hours of phone time with Cisco's pre-sales support, and technical support, but neither of them was able to give me any answer, and after passing me back and forth between their two divisions, they passed the buck back to my Cisco partner.
But, my question remains: What additional value do I get for this doubled price "Software Application support with Updates"? I can already download WCS software and WLC firmware. The only thing that has changed is my software's AP limit.
We've had WCS 5.0, with the original Base 50 AP license. The WCS server runs two WLC 4402 units, one set for 25 APs, and one for 50. We actually have 46 APs deployed. We've paid annual support since we first purchased this system, SAU software and upgrade support for the WCS software, and SmartNet hardware support for the WLCs. We have not had support for our actual AP hardware, as our partner recommended just buying spares instead, as a cheaper option. But, AP firmware updates come automagically with the WLC firmware updates.
We will soon be going beyond 50 APs, so we installed an 100 AP add-on license for the WCS. This changed the "About" box for the WCS software so it now says it is licensed for 150 permanent APs, instead of the original 50. (This add-on license cost more than $4,000, so I don't feel that I'm trying to get a bigger WCS system without paying for it.)
Recently I upgraded my WCS software to v5.2 and then to v6, and am currently at 6.0.196.0. I also upgraded my WLC firmware, which updated my APs. Everything seems to be working well, and these updates were all included in my basic SAU for WCS, which runs about $720 per year.
However, March is when our SmartNet renewals come due, and my partner says we now need to buy a second version of WCS SAU, supposedly a requirement with our additional 100 AP license. This add-on support ( part "CON-SAU-WLB100EX" ) goes for $1,080 per year, so my WCS annual support would now be $1,800 instead of $720.
As I said, I really don't understand what I'm getting for this additional money. We are a small enough college that I can't spend $1000 without justifying the expense. Already, with my existing WLC SmartNet payment I get firmware updates for my WLC and AP hardware, and with my existing WCS SAU payment I get software updates on the server. None of this seems to have changed with the additional AP license count.
(Note that although the WCS update package allows 100 more APs, my present WLC hardware really only allows an additional 25 APs.)
If nothing else, for $1,000 a year, Cisco should be able to give me a pithy explanation of what I am buying :-)
In summary:
What does CON-SAU-WLB100EX actually support? Why do I need it?
What happens if I keep paying my CON-SAU-WCS support and my WLC support, but do not add this new charge? Is my WCS software still upgradeable?
Thanks for any insights you can provide,
Steve Bohrer

I'm not selling support contracts, I just work in TAC. But here's my 2 cents :
If you have your license for your extra APs (which you said you already bought), your WCS will run just fine.
With regards to software download, either you have download access or you don't. The system can't prevent you to download WCS because it saw you had purchased more AP license than your support contract mentions. So download should still work in the future.
From a TAC perspective, if there is a support contract, we give support. We don't care at all how many APs people have.
So all considered, I have no idea what this extra support contract will bring you :-)
But since the Sales people in your region don't seem to gifted in explaining what they are selling, I would just go without that special contract unless they justify what it exactly adds and what you will lose if you don't take it. Probably if you don't say a word, they won't notice anything and will still support you nonetheless :-)

What do I get for BTV Essential

Hi, have not been here for a while.
Just got my latest bill and it has gone up by £3.00 a month, not much but I am retired and on a fixed income so any increase is a lot. I got all my phone (unlimited calls), broadband (Option 1), and Vision (Gold-Unlimited) contracts running together last March, so in a couple of months they will be up for renewal.
I watch about three or four films a month, and over the past six months or more BT seem to be recycling the films every couple of months. so losing that is not much of a problem.
Obviously I want to reduce my costs, I am thinking of reducing Vision from Unlimited to Essential, but the BT Package is not really clear on what I will get (for free). Or should I dump Vision completely. Can anybody help.

If you haven't taken Line rental saver yet, then this could save you money to counteract the other increase.

I just purchased FormsCentral but according to your site it is going to be closed on June 22. What does this mean for what I paid? Do you have an alternative program to use? Do I receive my money back?

Kim,
When you say you just purchased Formscentral exactly what do you mean? Formscentral has not been sold as a stand alone product in a while due to the decision to close the service. If you got Formscentral as part of a Acrobat subscription then you need to know that that part of the subscription will go away partially in June and fully in July. If you have indeed managed to purchase Formscentral standalone recently can you please give me the information about your purchase such as the date of purchase and link to the site from which you purchased. Refunds are available to customers who are not able to use the service though their contract period.

Skype phone numbers and how they work?

ok so here is what I know. With skype you can choose the country of the phone number you want your phone number to originate from. So if I choose my number to be an Australian number any person calling me from Australia will be charged at a local rate if from the same state.
This is my question.
If I set up my phone number to be an Australian number, then I travel overseas to Canada and someone calls my number, what will the rate of charge be for the caller? will it still be a local call since the number is an Australian number or will it not work at all????
And will I in return be able to call back to Australia at a local rate since my number is australian??
Also, Im assuming I need to be connected through wi-fi for someone to call my skype account from a land line phone?

That is your phone accessing the internet, or media data. Generally this was how older phones that accessed WAP sited reported their usage, instead of the way newer phones using the WWW report usage.

TRANSFERRING SKYPE PHONE NUMBERS TO NEW ACCOUNT?

I have 2 subscriptions/phone numbers on my current skype account - one for Australia and one for New Zealand. Since I can't change my skype name, can I transfer the subscriptions/phone numbers to a new account? I have recently been married, so my name has changed and I use the phone numbers for business so it's important I'm using my correct name... Grateful for some advice
Solved!

Hi, KDelaney, and welcome to the Community,
Congratulations!
Have you considered changing your name as it is displayed?
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name-or-display-name-in-skype-for-windo...
Skype does not permit the transfer of anything from one account to another, regardless of what it is (credit, subscriptions, Skype Numbers, etc.). If you wish to start over again, as if you had moved to a different location, you would cancel the subscriptions and Skype Numbers on your first account, and add the same new subsriptions to a new account. Likewise with credit, you can request a refund of the credit on the first account and then purchase new credit for the new second account.
Anticipating your next question, it would be an interesting and convenient feature if Skype had a facility to forward one account to another, but alas they do not.
Best regards,
Elaine

What charger to get for iPhone?

Hi!
Recently I bought iPhone from USA, it came with american wall charger, it seems to me it's not original. I live in Europe and want to get a replacement, but I can't find original one for reasonable price. My question - can I use non-original charger for iPhone or charger for another phone, for instance htc tc-e250? Is it safe, won't it harm my phone? What model to choose? What's cheapest good charger?
I know I'm far not first to ask this question, but I could not find good answer. Please, Geniuses, answer me!)

Well, it's your phone and your risk. Again, $30-40 is less than paying another $110.

So what are we getting for hanging in there?

What are you giving your customers for hanging in there waiting for their phones? It is now the 31st and no word on when my phone will be available. It is now the 31st (when you promised the phones by). I have a feeling the day will come and go with no contact from you saying that my phone is in. I know A LOT of people have jumped shipped and ordered their phones elsewhere. So for the people that are hanging in there, waiting - what are you giving us? And don't say the headphones, because everyone who preordered are getting them.

I didn't stick in there but what I did get was my $50 pre-order gift card cashed out, my $197 trade in gift card cashed out and a complimentary $30 gift card mailed to me.
I wish I was told the truth from the beginning, but they did make up for their mistake in the end.
Will I ever purchase a phone from Best Buy again, probably not, but I will not leave with the feeling of hatred I had 10 days ago.

If you have an intel Mac, you can use BootCamp, which is part of your OS and allows you to run Windows.

What laptop to get for CS5 or CS6...

Increasingly there appear questions about which laptop to get for CS5/6.
First, the question is why a laptop and why not a desktop?
Laptops are always at least 2 to 3 times slower than a desktop, they are significantly more expensive than a desktop with the same or better performance and they need a wall outlet to use. Batteries don't last long enough for editing and you need a wall outlet for external components (disks, monitor, BD-R etc.) that are required. All that makes a laptop more like an expensive, underpowered luggable machine.
For video editing machines it is always best to use a machine for video editing only and use a second system for other applications and this is especially true for much weaker laptops than desktops.
So, let me repeat the question: What are the considerations to use a laptop over a desktop? You have to be very clear about it to sell the idea to the one responsible for the budget. You also have to be clear about the performance penalty, if you decide to go forward with a laptop.
OK, we got this out of the way. You have good arguments to get a laptop and you have succesfully sold the idea to the one responsible for the available budget.
So what are your choices and what do you need to look for in terms of specs?
First, let me remind you of the article Adobe Forums: What PC to build? An update... because it contains a number of relevant issues that influence your choice. Basically there are three approaches possible:
Get a laptop from a brand company like Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba and the like.
Get a customizable laptop from specialist companies like Sager or Clevo.
Get a custom builder like ADK Video Editing build you a system tuned to your needs.
All these solutions have a number of common components, under the assumption you want to edit HD material:
CPU: at least a quad core i7 processor, preferably with hyper-threading. The faster the better.
GPU: at least a nVidia GTX 660M or better with 1+ GB DDR5 memory.
Disks: at least 2 internal 7200 RPM disks.
Connections: minimum is eSATA plus USB3 ports.
Monitor: at least 1920 x 1080 resolution and 15.4" screen size or bigger.
Memory: bare minimum is 8 GB but workable is only 16 or 32 GB.
Looking at brand names one may come up with a short-list like:
Now, in their standard configurations they are all lacking on some aspects. Insufficient memory, only single disk, or lacking connections. If these can not be configured to meet the above practical minimum requirements, where at least 2 disks is the most crucial, there is only companies like Sager and Clevo to look at. Something like this is about bare minimum, because of the underspecced video card:
Despite the price this will still be around 3 times slower than an equally priced desktop. If that performance penalty is too big, then one can consider a system like this:
Again, despite the price, this system will still be more than 2 times slower than a far less expensive desktop, but hey, you knew that when you decided on a laptop and got approval for the budget, right?
The last option is to go to a custom builder to get a laptop that is exactly tuned to your needs and budget. It will not be less expensive than the Sager route, but it will get you the best balance between performance and price for your needs. Additionally, you get great service if ever needed.
To sum this up, a laptop is a compromise. A compromise in performance and price. It is not for the faint of heart, faint of wallet. It is not a laptop, it is a luggable system on a wall outlet. An alternative is coasters under a desktop system and you can use other wall outlets as well, but with a better price and far better performance.
I hope this will help people to decide if they really need a laptop and if affirmative, to get the right system for their needs.

As usual, Harm has provided very knowledgeable and helpful advice in this matter. I would like to add that if you are inclined, and feel it's worth a gamble.....New Egg has been selling refurbished Asus i7 laptops that have almost all the necessary components for a lower price than normal. You may have to add more memory yourself and add a quality SSD for OS and programs and pagefile, ( cloned from the supplied drive). Then, use the supplied drive for media and all else in the second bay....or, as an emergency backup of your original configuration. I am not sure,but I think if you put a second Marvell controlled SSD in the second bay instead,( Corsair Pro or Plextor Pro...no Sandforce), you may get the benefit of SATA III speeds from BOTH drives for best laptop performance.....I am not sure if earlier criticisms of SSD degradation still apply with these newer Marvell controlled SSDs.
      I DO know that my old Asus G73JW tested MUCH FASTER on Harm's PPBM5 benchmark when I added extra memory,( from 8 to 14GB ), AND used a Corsair Force 120GB SATA II SSD in each of the two internal drive bays. On that site you can see similar laptops to mine performing way slower using less memory and conventional spinning HDDs. At the time, I was careful to choose SSDs that had a high read AND write speed. I have had no issues with my SSDs. I also have used the Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HDD as project drive.....and scored lower on the PPBM test,( not submitted).
      Harm is right.....any laptop will not approach the performance of a good desktop setup....not to mention PPro CS 6 appears to be even more powerful and demanding than the 5.03 I'm using. People are reporting needing at least 32GB memory and more than 2GB video card memory to get better performance.
   Someone posted about Exotic PC selling upgraded laptops, ( some Asus) with up to 32GB memory and muliple HDD configurations....you may be able to upgrade a laptop similarly yourself for less money. Watch the sales at Tiger Direct and New Egg....you may find some thing workable.

Seperating phone numbers from a telephone bill for business expences

I am trying to work out how i can separate numbers from a phone bill to show business calls and personal calls.
I would like to have a table of phone numbers that are business numbers that i can add to over time. Then a separate table where i either import all the phone numbers or manually type them in for a given month.
Then table one reads table two and in new table three lists the phone calls that have been made that would be business numbers and table four shows the remaining numbers that are personal.
I know this is a lot to ask but if there is a template out there already i would be very grateful.

Big,
Here's a scheme that may work for you.
Table 1 (Bus Nums) - a list of all business numbers you may possibly call.
Table 2 (Mth Calls) - a list of all calls made during the month. Three columns are added and may be hidden. Column B determines if the number is on your business list or not:
=IF(A2="","",MATCH(A2, Bus Nums :: A, 0)) If not on the list an error is generated, else a position number where found.
Columns C and D produce index numbers for Tables 3 and 4.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A2),ISERROR(B2)),"",MAX($C$1:C1)+1)
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A2),C2""),"",MAX($D$1:D1)+1)
Tables 3 (Mth Bus) and 4 (Mth Oth) list separately the business and other calls for the month. Those formulas are:
=IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Mth Calls :: C),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Mth Calls :: C,Mth Calls :: A))
=IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Mth Calls :: D),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Mth Calls :: D,Mth Calls :: A))

If the app wasn't what I was looking for and I payed can I get my money back?

I bought an application to download free music I found very complicated, and I want to deleted but first I want to know if I can get my money back for which I payed for the app.

The best way to find out if you are eligible for a refund would be to use Apple's Express Lane option. You fill out the form and they send you a reply and possibly the refund.
