Skype phone purchase issues.

When trying to buy a skype number for unlimited world, it will not allow me to pick any local area code. Matter of fact, it wont show area code, or any number selection for the state. I know the whole state is 808, but still, even the number selection area will not appear and is a duplicate of the header/title page area. I'd like a local number so that my friends and family can identify me easily and so that other friends who are out of state can readily know who is calling.
Just to show you what I'm talking about... :
There's no way I can pick any number selection to continue there. None. Help please.

Skype Premium Purchasing Issue?

Every time I try and purchase the Skype Premium 3-month subscription, it redirects me and says page not found. It's also not working for a friend of mine who lives across the country, so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with skype itself.
Any ETA on when this can be resolved?? Thanks!

I am trying to purchase a subscription for cheaper calling rates and it is not letting me. It sends me to an error page stating the page I am looking for could not be found.

The only option I have is to have my mobile phone number appear EVEN THOUGH I purchased a regular Skype phone number. How can you make this phone number appear?
Thanks so much in advance

Not all of Skype's Online Numbers can be used as Caller ID, appearing on the displays of phones you call from Skype. Online Numbers from a few countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US) can be used this way, where the others are not permitted to be used in this way. If your Online Number is not from one of the countries I listed above, then the only option would be to use the two-step verification process so that a mobile number (or a landline number that can receive SMS messages) is your Caller ID number when calling from Skype.

Skype phone number just purchased does not "ring" ...

Bought a skype phone number so I can receive calls thru skype. Just "blinks" that it's an incoming call but no ringtone. where can I go to fix this?

Hi, Michele1984, and welcome to the Community!
Just out of curiosity, is it only your Skype Number that does not have the classic Skype incoming call ring tone, or all calls? The first place I would check (I am a Windows 7 user) is where I have my audio settings for "ringing" set. I would also check in the Sounds settings under "which events play a sound."

Can I change my Skype Phone Number?

I just purchased a Skype phone number with a Florida number. I need to change it to a Texas number due to work requirements. How do I go about doing this without incurring additional charges?

Skype Phone/Adapter Recommendations? (disregarding...

I am looking for recommendations for a Skype Adapter or Phone, other than the ConnectMe from Freetalk. On a separate thread I plan on documenting my woes with the Freetalk ConnectMe once the dust settles.
My desire: A device (I'll refer to it as an adapter) that connects to home network via RJ45 or wireless, that has an output RJ8 connection that can plug into existing telephone system (Panasonic base station with wireless handsets). This device provides Skype telephone service for outgoing and incoming phone calls without the need of a connection to a running computer at all times.
An alternate solution would be a Skype phone system that connects directly to the home network (not to a computer running Skype).
There seem to be a pile of old solutions. A couple of hours of research points to a bunch of poorly reviewed solutions, all of which seem to be 3-5 years old.

You can try using the adapter I mentioned here.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-Phone-keeps-ringing-after-call-answered...
It still works with Skype 6.21 and has physically outlasted all the Freetalk Connect Me devices I have purchased. The only Freetalk Connect Me that has survived many years is one that I own on 1.0 firmware that has yet to fail or update and Freetalks support was pretty much "too bad, so sad". Which really doesn't bother me since it actually still works yet has no Caller ID. This also leads me to believe the majortity of Freetalk Connect Me failures are software failures due to faulty firmware, updates, or power spikes and they offer no means of restoring the device in a hosed stated other than suggesting you buy a replacement which will of course have the same failure rate as the one before it.
I wish the B2K device was a standalone. It sort of can be if you dedicate an inexpensive computer/netbook to it. If it continues to operate in future releases of Skype then it may be a wise investment. There should also be less of an issue with audio protocol negotiation with the newer releases that the Freetalk has issues with on Skype to Skype calls.

USB Skype Phone Adapter - How to use it?

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask regarding USB Skype Phone Adapter, as I am planning to buy it. But, before I buy it I would like to know if I can still use skype to call locally using the land phone line (since it's by contract, and local calls are all free). Can I use the skype keypad to make those calls? Can I have access to my land phone line through skpye to make local calls, even though I might use it from a different country through skype? Please help me with issue. Thank you very much in advance!

First of all, you seem to be using some custom classes as there is no table and no SimpleTableModel in Java ME.
That said,
The simpleTableModel is already attached to the tableSo when you assign the variable reference tableModel1 to a new object, it is the earlier referred object that is still 'attached' to the table, not the newly constructed one.
If you can head me to the right documentationThat would be available from wherever you got the classes.

Skype accredited Skype phone supplier "Chat & Visi...

Chat & Vision is OK when everything goes right but when there is a problem beware as you can see from various other reviews.
We ordered a Skype phone and it was eventually delivered within an agreeable amount of time. not rapid, but fair enough. As we live way out in the countryside here in Spain we have problems with DHL as well as other companies delivering to us.To alleviate this problem we had an arrangement with a Spanish friend in a local village to accept deliveries for us. We ordered this phone with the belief as stated in their website "Worry free ordering all dues taxes and delivery charges included". 2 weeks after delivery our friend receives a demand from the Spanish Customs Authority that she appear before her local Tax authority due to unpaid duty on the goods that she received for us.Which involved a round trip of around 45kms. She was informed that the declared value by Chat & Vision was $12 and they insisted that they see the invoice from Chat and Vision which of course read €75. After another round trip of 45kms with the invoice she was then told she would be informed as to how much duty was to pay and also that there could possibly be a fine. We were of course keeping Chat & Vision informed of all of this ongoing problem.
Assurance from customer support that we would not suffer as a result of this as they would recompense when it was finally sorted. Well the Duty turned out to be € 15 and no fine, but as we were so embarrassed about the time and cost our friend had incurred we recompensed her for her time and fuel costs € 50 only to be told afterwards that she no longer wished to receive any more goods for us. So a €75 phone from Chat and vision has cost us €140 which we could have purchased from Amazon for €79 and know that we would have had much better service as we are still waiting for any recompense from Chat and Vision that was in May we are now in September and still waiting, for something that is obviously not going to happen.
Solved!

Hi rodymoyra,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. I am very disappointed in our handling of the case. I have taken the matter up internally with the relevant agents and departments involved to get the bigger picture on our process flaws and will rectify it if not already done. That includes a thorough review of the email correspondence with our support team which I believe was not up to our usual high standard. Whilst this ongoing, my support team will process a 50EUR refund to your paypal account within the next 24-72 hours. I will be in touch if I need any further info. I appreciate this does not make up the inconvenience experienced but hope it helps reassure you that we genuinely care.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
Kind regards,

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.

Can someone pls recommend this app of Skype Phone? + I used the Wi-Fi skype

Good Evening!
Can someone recommand a Mac friendly Skype phone that
1. the base unit plugs into the (or Router) and the phone(s) are wireless
(just like using a 2.4Ghz wireless phones on a cable router)
2. To to be extra clear..... expansion phones that will work off the same base but it would be a drag to have to buy each phone with a base station just to expand the system.
3. I used the Skype Wi-Fi phone this week if anyone is interested just post and I'll post my findings and what applications and lifestyle it may or maynot fit.

Hi Bill, I will follow below with what I've found but you'll have to see if it fits your application....
My application: To lower my Cell Phone bill to it's min. and to cancel my home cable ip phone from CableVision.
Phone: SMC Wi-Fi Skype phone
Technically the phone sets up in a snap, first make sure you charge it the full 8 hours. No software required so the lack of Mac Phone support is not an issue here. There is s/w required however for the Skype account on your computer and now Skype does have a package out that works just fine with Mac.
After setting up your Skype account and charging your phone you should be ready to go.
Important to keep in mind: Skype is not a completely free service, if you live in the US you would pay approx $30 for SkypeIN for your own phone number of the Skype number and the ability to have any phone service, PSTN, Cell, Cable etc call you.
If you wish to use this phone for outcalls as well, your will pay approx $0.02 per min. unless your calling Skype to Skype.
In order to use your phone at home it's easy to for the phone to find a Wi-Fi network of yours and if need by enter it's security Key. Finding Wi-Fi networks outside the home is a different story.
Please remember that there is no 911 service so there is a risk there. Perhaps and hopefully not you have an emergency in the home at 2AM your skype is not charged, what happens if your Cell is not charged, so the risk here is giving up your landline. As a single parent, too big of a risk for me.
Inbound calls will ring both on the Skype phone and the Computer and I expect anywhere else you have the registered Skype service.
I'm not crazy about the inability to only store contacts for Skype Users in the phone. Now I have to go to my Treo Cell phone and bring up the contacts to call out on my Skype phone just to save some min. on my cell plan. Not worth it. So should I keep the Skype wifi phone just to have incoming free calls? maybe as a cool item for on 10 year old so he does not want a cell phone anymore.
I'm much more comfortable putting a Skype "Base" station in next to my Mac Desktop, attaching my presently owned Wireless phone base to that and using Skype as my Home service whereas I can use it as well on my Mac and use it as I travel on my MacBook Pro simply by using the iSight Mic built in to the MBP.
Bottom line is that while the Skype service may be fun and find some usage, it's a long way from taking over the world but Skype knows this and appears perfectly fine with it's niche for now.
Bottom Bottom line is if I work from home what does the Skype wifi buy me? Nothing at all and if I cancel my landline, I loose 911 which I'm not comfortable with.
Perhaps when Skype becomes more mature and feature rich and there are ALOT more users for Skype to Skype calls I'll look again.
Thanks
Tom

My skype phone number

I just set up a new skype account and not clear what my phone number is for this account. The account number listed is [removed for privacy]. I want to be able to provide this number to my friends.

It should be accessible from your Skype program or app. Otherwise, log into your account on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page. Then click on Online Number, and you will see a list of Online Numbers on your Skype account.
