Skype UK area code number

There are only 30-odd code numbers in the drop-down list that appears when selecting a code prefix number for the UK. There used to be an (033) catch-all, trans-UK number but that is no longer on the list. I'm 10 miles from Bath and Warminster -- but there is no code offered for my town, although businesses here do have Skype numbers that reflect the BT coding system. How do I get the code I want? (I'd prefer 033 as I tend to move house every once in a while.)
Thanks

3. If I buy credit or a subscription now does that make my 30-day Unlimited World trial no longer valid?
4. I work in Poland but I need a Skype number with a UK area code. What are my options?
Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No but it's better to wait until the trial is over if possible.
4 Choose a UK Skype Number with your preferred area code or as near as possible. Not all area codes are available.

My story of transferring a different area code number during activation

When I got my iPhone, I wanted to port my current number (which was in a different area code from my billing address) to the iPhone. I got stuck on the second page of the activation with a "you cannot transfer this number" message.
I called the AT&T corporate store that I purchased the iPhone from and encountered the worst help in a person that basically said that he didn't know anything about that problem, there was no other person here (i.e. supervisor) and he really couldn't help me and doubted that anyone else could. When I said, "So, there isn't anything I can do at all whatsoever? Like there's no phone number at AT&T or Apple that I can call and get any help activating my iPhone?" He finally, like a light bulb went on, said "I suppose you could call the 800-My-iPhone number. The people at that AT&T corporate store must only hire the most brilliant people. I suppose it could have been his first day or for that matter his first call, but still....
I called 800-My-iPhone and the guy there couldn't figure out why it wasn't letting me activate, so he went off and made a little call to AT&T and came back and said that I have two options. 1) I could just activate with a new phone number and transfer my old phone number later (you have 30 days to transfer--the 30 days probably avoids a transfer fee, but that's a guess) or 2) I would have to put in a request to transfer my number and that might take up to six days. I decided to go ahead and just get a new number and deal with the transfer later. Once I got the iPhone activated and got the new phone number, I started the porting process.
When I called the AT&T Porting phone number to start the process, I got the nicest lady that pretty much told me "I wish they had sent you to us first. The reason you couldn't activate with this phone number is because your phone number is in a different area code from your billing address. When the activation process asked for your billing zipcode, you should have entered a zip code from the area where your old phone number's area code was and not your current billing zip code." According to her, that would have allowed the transfer to occur. I wish the 800-My-iPhone people knew this and yes I sent a "One-Way" unacknowledged feedback message into the Apple abyss.
So now the story goes that since I have activated my iPhone in a different area code, the SIM card is locked into that area code. I can still transfer my number, but AT&T has to send me a new SIM card with another temporary number in that area code. Then they have to get the iPhone activated with that SIM card and then they start the whole phone number transfer process.
If I understand this correctly, I will have had two temporary numbers and two SIM cards before the transfer process is over.
It's not over yet, so the story isn't done. I'll see in the next couple of days how the whole "transferring the old phone number" process unfolds.
I can't wait to see how iTunes handles the whole process. That's probably a whole different headache.

Well, you were right about looking for problems in the billing. Even though I had made sure they had closed down the extra account. The problem stems from how they advance bill for next month's service.
When they shutdown the first account (with the temp phone number) they never refunded the advanced payment for the next month, they just kind of forgot about that and didn't have any kind of entry for refunding that pre-paid service.
On the second account (with my current number), I paid for two months of service, but I was paying again on the same month I paid for in the first account. That extra month of service was about $75 of extra charges.
There were all sorts of charges on the first account (like a $175 charge for canceling my account early), which they turned right around and removed. All the extra charges and credits, just confused the issue for not only me, but the customer service agent as well. He kept saying that they had credited me for some $235 of billing and was using that to say that AT&T could not credit me any more.
Finally, I was able to show them that they had not only charged me twice for message service for November, but they also charged me twice for phone service in November too. I think it helped when the agent realized that I only had one phone and one line of service active.
The customer service agent was nice, but with all the other charges and credits, it took a while to get to the bottom of what charge was for what service and where the double billing took place.
Anyway, I did get it straightened out. Thanks for warning me about this. It was that little flag that helped me look for those extra charges. Thanks!

After 4.3.3 update, with International assist enable, all US calls start with 001 area code number. If disabled, works as before upgrade. New feature ? working as new design?

I upgrade my 3GS yesterday to version 4.3.3 without changing any settings. Now all incomming US calls are displayed starting with 001 + AC + Number. Incomming calls do not match entrys in contacts list. Calling number cannot be dialed back with the way the number presented e.g. 001 +.
International assist is enabled under settings. When International Assist is disable, works as it has for the past year + (the way it should)
Is this a new feature with version 4.3.3?
Or working as new design feature?

Seems pretty clear to me. Even though they do not give an expiration date, it is certainly implied that it will expire at some point. If they give you the deal, then great. If they don't give you the deal, though, it seems that you are just crying for something that you don't deserve and that Verizon has no obligation to provide for you.

Online Number "Area Code/Local Area" Selection DOE...

Someone else already posted this earlier, but im having the same problem. I am trying to get an online skype number (NOT THE "TO GO" NUMBER) in the United States and I am able to set the country and state selections, but when asked to set the area code/local area (step 2 on the page) there is a blank field and the drop down box to select the area code is also blank. Reloading the page (numerous times) doesn't fix the entry, and this is apparently the same problem for each state selection, so
I have included the URL where the process starts:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number/
and the URL for where the error is occuring on the US section:
https://secure.skype.com/skypein/number?vc=&country_code=US&voucher=
It still works for all of the other countries and for the "Skype To Go Numbers," but for some reason not the same with the "online skype numbers" where people can reach you in the United States section and when i type in a number on the local number box i get the area code of the smallest number within the same area of the state on the payment page no matter what combination. Like for Texas i'll get a 210 area code number (San Antonio,TX); For California i'll get a 209 area code number (Modesto,CA); For Florida i'll get a 239 area code number (Naples, FL); For Georgia i'll get a 229 area code number (Albany, GA) and so on. But the bottom line is that due to this error there you only have one area code choice for each state, which more than likely in a remore area of the state. If it could be changed to where we type in the area code and number i would greatly appreciate it and purchase a number. Trying to get past this entry for a week or two now and having no luck. I tried to enter a number in the field, which which it doesn't allow me to do. If anyone can help in fixing this problem, i would greatly appreciate it and start getting new numbers. But i'm not looking to just get a remote area code within a state.

Dear Readers,
My experience is similar; in my region, I had to choose a number from a nearby township; numbers in my locale were simply not available. As I understand it, Skype obtains numbers from local telephone companies; numbers are not available everywhere.
From this information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number
When you purchase a Skype Number, you will need to choose one from our pre-selected range. However, you can choose your favorite number from that range. You can search for your preferred number using the Enter your favorite combination search box, or by clicking Show ten new suggestions… to scroll through the available options.

1 Family Plan, 2 Area Codes

Question:
Any advice or idea on how to get different area codes ported into one family plan?
Scenario:
Two people want to join one family account (iPhones, AT&T) and port their existing numbers over. She has an ABC area code number and he has an XYZ area code number. Now, they both live in the OMG area code, but want to keep their numbers (strange, I know!). The family account is created and activated successfully. The ABC area code number is ported and the new billing and residence address is in the OMG area code.
Problem:
The XYZ number cannot join the Family plan, because AT&T's billing system requires that all numbers on one family plan are in the same market (=general metropolitan area). According to 6 out of 10 AT&T Wireless representatives, the aforementioned Family plan can now only accommodate area codes within the vicinity of ABC, regardless of the plan's registration in the OMG area code, which is actually located adjacent to the XYZ area code.
Thoughts:
This market billing problem seems to be particular to the one service provider chosen by Apple for the iPhone. Apparently, the scenario described above already overcame a similar, but lesser problem outlined at ( http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/06/30/howto_port_ineligible_mobile_numbers_to_att_andiphone.html ).
Is this really so unlikely to happen that it is not worth to change AT&T's policy and/or processing systems? Is it worth it to pay more per minute on two individual accounts for a phone that is already almost as common as a RAZR? Is it worth it to lose a long-held mobile number for a phone whose price may soon drop again, from a company that is about as faithful to its existing customers as Paris Hilton?
While its features may have been enough to prompt the iPhones' purchase, account inconvenience may quickly prompt a return, unless there is a way to have multiple area codes on one family plan.

I think it depends if OMG, XYZ and ABC are all the same market. My husband and I share a family plan but I'm ABC area code and he's XYZ but both our area codes fall in the XYZ market. We actually live in OMG area code now and had to go back to XYZ in order to merge our plans into a family plan.

Skype Number with a different Area Code

Good afternoon Ladies and Gents.
I'm from Brazil, and today I tried to create a Skype Number, because I work offshore, and on the Rig, it is not possible to call numbers with different area codes.
My question is:
I'm from Rio de Janeiro(Area Code 21), but I would need a number from Macaé (Macaé is a city of Rio de Janeiro state), and its code is 22, but I have no option to choose another area code, because 21 is only for Rio de Janeiro city, and I have to select Rio de Janeiro(state), but cannot select the area code. Is it possible to create a number with the Macaé area code (something like +55 22 4002-6663)?
Thank you, and I am waiting your comments.

Yes the Skype number is attached to your account no matter what calling subscription you have.
You can stop your UK subscrition and buy the European subscription, maybe even buy the Euro subscription before the UK one runs out if you can't wait.
Skype can recognise multiple subscriptions and charge the call accordingly.

Setting up new Skype number - area code missing fr...

Hi. Wanted to set up a Skype number with the area code, 316, from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. And, but, that area code doesn't appear on the pulldown menu. Any help? Have a feeling I'm being dumb and missing something obvious, but that's the trouble with being dumb -- the obvious isn't.
Thanks all.

Hi, Bsieverts, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, if Skype cannot obtain blocks of numbers from the telephone service providers, then that is how there can be holes in the lists of available numbers. There can be several legitimate reasons why this occurs. As Joanna noted, above, we need to check back on occasion.

Elaine

Hi, Darwal, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, if the particular exchange you wish to have for a Skype Number does not appear on the list, then it is truly not available for any number of legitimate reasons. Check back periodically to see if the exchange becomes available; Skype does not announce when a fresh batch of Skype Numbers are newly added.

Hi, Grapat, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available for all exchanges, area codes, or even all states in the USA and all countries. We need to choose a Skype Number based upon what is listed at the time we are searching, or check back regularly to see if a particular exchange has been added to the list.

Skype Number setup for USA loading blank Area Code...

Is there a glitch with Skype Number set up for the USA? I am trying to get a Skype Number and when I get to the "Select State" and enter "California", no Area code options come up (it is blank) so I cannot continue.

Hi, GRP.Roofing, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does its best to obtain a wide range of numbers, however in some cases numbers are not available everywhere. Whatever numbers appear on the list of choices are all that we have available to us. In other words, you could contact Skype Customer Service to request a specific area code to be added, however it could take weeks or months to appear on the list -- if available at all.
Hope this answers your question!

Elaine

Skype to Go - Home Area Code not listed in set up

I live in the 807 area code in Canada and it is not listed when I try to set up my skype to go number(s). Is this a glitch, or is the service not available in all areas?
Thanks for letting me know.

Sometimes numbers go fast, however that said, just in case, you might want to contact customer service and ask when/if these area codes will be available. Please copy/paste the link below into the browser window of your choice to do that:
