Skype Phone Numbers

Hi,
I have been receiving calls from numbers in the range of 661380XXXX and 559515XXXX. I am trying to determine where these calls are coming from. Everywhere I have looked makes me believe these are skype numbers, but I can not find a definitive answer. Are there any listings out there that would tell me what skype numbers normally look like and if these numbers are really skype driven?
Thanks.
J

Hi, Sakusami,
Skype does not assign blocks of numbers for use as a Caller ID; the local telephone companies do.  Please see this topic for more information:

I believe you will find this discussion insightful:

Hope this helps.

Elaine

  • 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

    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

  • 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.

  • Two Skype phone numbers

    We have 2 Skype number, one for Bus, the other for home.
    They are on the same account; therefore they share the same mail box and therefore the same Voice Mail message.
    I understand they need to be separate accounts.
    How do I transfer the phone number to a new account and apply the recent payment to the account?

    Hi, DoggyDaddy, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, transferring subscriptions, features, or credit from one account to another is not possible.  The only thing you could do is to cancel one of the Skype Numbers, which will stop its renewal, and start a new account and a new Skype Number subscription.

    Elaine

  • If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?

    If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?
    Obviously there's no voice or data roaming for Verizon 3G/4G/CDMA phones in Europe.... (or am I wrong?)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello WCMack,
    That was a great explanation on the situation. Just to confirm, Europe uses GSM for their wireless network. There are third party apps that will allow you to make calls via wi-fi on a wi-fi enabled device. This is largely due if wi-fi is available and if it's free.
    From my experience, I was able to make wi-fi calls on my Iphone 4 in Greece without any problems last month. Since we don't own any towers in Europe, the service is hit or miss. Feel free to update us when you get back.
    Enjoy your trip!...

  • "Skype Phone" and "Online Numbers"

    I just found out that “Skype Phone” and “Online Numbers" are the same thing. I was not told that when I signed up, I was told I needed both? I have been charged for both for the last two years?
    I would like to be reimbursed, even if it is prorated for some reason?

    Hi, rdanpurnell,
    My next step would be to  check if Click to Call is "on."  If you can not right-click on the blue S in your browser, and turn off C2C, included here are how to uninstall this plug-in:

  • Skype labelling phone numbers on iexplorer

    Dear friends of Skype,
    I love Skype and always run the recommended software updates to my computer. What I don't like so much is that Skype labels all phone numbers that it is able to identify on my Internet Explorer -- this hyperlink that is put on top of the phone numbers interferes with other corporate software which I'm using.
    Could anybody help me how to disable this function?
    Thanks,

  • Phone numbers are not showing up on craigslist and google maps is not working.

    I uploaded the 3.6 version of firefox and although learning a new look and figuring out what changes had been made were doing ok then the other night the power went out it shut the comp down and when my husband started it back up it had him update it again now my first page when I open it shows yahoo instead of ask, and when I use fire fox to open craigslist lots of the post do not have phone numbers showing up on them that does show up if I use internet explorer to view CL. Also, It will bring up google maps but when I put a location in the box to see it on the map and hit the search button it only starts to load the page with the little word loading... in the center above the location search box but then it says it's done. This also does not happen when I use IE. We tried to restore to a previous date (which there were only a couple to choose from, don't know where the rest of them went) but once the comp restarted itself after supposedly restoring it comes up and says it was not able to restore it properly. I did not have any of these problems with the first update to 3.6 but I think the update that was just loaded 3.6.11 or something like that has really messed something up or it's just not right some how.

    Issues with phone numbers not displaying properly can be caused by the Skype extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • How to make Clickable Phone Numbers in PDFs

    Hello,
    I am creating Word Documents and converting them to PDFs. We put contact information in them such as names, phone numbers, email address.
    I have already got email address to work, with the hyperlinks and that converts fine to PDFs, but I am having problem with phone numbers.
    I have gone to hte hyperline and in the address typed tel:+0000000000 (of course switching out numbers), but it always attaches to a document path.  When I try to click on it in a PDF, nothing happens, but it shows clickable.  Mainly want this for people with smart phones to dial the number.
    The whole concept works in Word on a smart phone, but we lose design and pages.  That is why converting to PDFs.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    The only similar thing I've encountered are hyperlinks on top of a phone number that launch Skype and attempt to call that number. In fact, I've even developed a script that automatically converts plain phone-numbers in a PDF to such links, but you have to have Acrobat to run it...
