Strange numbers calling my Skype number and leavin...
I am getting frequent calls from numbers of format s121732062526477 and leaving video messages sometimes for over 30 min. I can't tell if they are draining my account.
I supposed I could turn off voicemail but I got it for a reason.
Hi, MarthBee, and welcome to the Community!
Please check this first: in the Windows version of the Skype client software,
Tools -> Options -> Calls -> be sure that Allow calls to my Skype number(s) from... anyone is ticked or checked in -> Save.
Please try your tests again, ensuring that your mobile phone is not already signed on to Skype at the same time.
Regards,
Elaine

Forward Skype number and Skype calls calls to different cell phones
Hello, A short assistance please.So, I understand that skype number fowards calls.Also, that a skype number is associated with a skype account. My questions: is it possible to forward the calls made to the skype number to one (cell) number and the ones to the skype account to different cell? *Or because the skype number and the skype account are associated to one another- I can only foward calls to one (Cell) phone. So lets say I have a skype account: ABCand a skype number that is associated to it: 123 Can I have calls to ABS forwarded to cell number A1and calls to 123 forwarded to call number A2? Thank you for helping out,Ben

Skype Number and Recieving Calls
Hello,
I wanted to know once I have a Skype Number, and someone calls me, do I pay any additional cost for the phone call besides the 18 dollars for the number if the person I am talking to is in the United States and the Skype Number is a US number?salam-o-alekum
brother use some proxy first like pptp or hotspot shield and then make call, this will fix your problem i think because many voice ports are blocked by PTA. -
Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax
When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'

Price for skype number and yearly subscription
Hi,
I would like to get a skype number and get a yearly subscription for unlimited calling to america. I understand that there is a discount for doing them together though I cant seem to find what it is and how much it will cost me monthly for such a plan.
Also am I correct that I can use the above plan with my smart phone?
Thanks for your help.Hi and welcome to Skype Community.
You can get a discount when you purchase a Skype Number depending on which subscription duration you prefer. However, this may only happen if you have an active calling subscription during your purchase.
What you can do is to buy the calling subscription first to the country of your choice. Specific details including the price can be viewed here:
http://www.skype.com/en/rates/
Just type the country you prefer on the search box and press Enter.
After a successful purchase, you may then buy a Skype Number next. You may get a 33% discount for a 3 month subscription and up to 50% discount for a 12 month subscription.
You may learn more about Skype Number from here:
http://www.skype.com/en/offers/skype-number/
And yes, you can use Skype on your smartphone as long as the device you have is Skype-supported. Check out which mobile phones are currently supported by Skype from here:

Hope this helps.

Purchasing skype number and subscription
Hello community, I am a new member to Skype. I'm a bit confused about the fees and subscriptions. I was about to purchase my Skype number and once it got to the payment screen, I saw that it read, "Skype number, 3 month subcription, etc." So my question is, are the monthly subscription rate and Skype number separate fees?
Am I to pay for the Skype number AND minute package every 3 months, together?Hello
A Skype Number is for you to receive inbound calls from your contacts. You can't make calls from one. Contracts are for either 3 or 12 months.
If you just want to make calls you don't need a Skype Number.
Calling Subscriptions are monthly with discounts for longer term commitments.

Call to Skype number from a country other than sky...
Hi,
I took a skype number recently with United states area code. But I have relatives in India who tried to call my skype number, but they were unable to make a call. They got a response saying number is invalid.
I want to know whether calls are not connected if people in India or from some country make calls to a skype online number registered in an other country.The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS. -
Changing my Skype number and keeping my credit on ...
Can I change my skype number and transfer my credit for a new Skype number?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Skype numbers and credit are tied to the account. If you add an additional Skype number or replace the number with a new one when the old one expires, then the credit won't change since it's still tied to the account. If you want to transfer the credit from one account to another then as far as I know, it's not possible on standard accounts. If you recently purchased credit within the past 15 days that you didn't use, you could request a refund. You could then apply the money from the refund towards credit on another account.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account.
How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
Skype number and subscription discount not showing...
I am trying to renew my skype number and monthly subscription, but this time I am not receiving the discount that I normally see each quarter when I renew. Any thoughts?
Hi,
It is because you don't have an active Skype subscription on your account.
Only ACTIVE subscription allows you to receive a discount on your Skype Number.

How to renew skype number and extend subscription?
I wat to reactivate my skype number and extend the period from 3-months to 1-year. Although the option is available, the ystem only keeps the 3-month button active and the 1-yr option is not activated.
Hi, SEOConsultant1, and welcome to the Community, If your Skype Number subscription has cancelled, you have within 90 days from the date of cancellation to sign in to your account dashboard and renew the subscription. You can either...Add enough credit to your account and reactivate the subscription (the subscription reactivation may occur automatically as soon as sufficient credit is added to your account to process the renewal), orReactivate the subscription and choose a different payment method.The most common reason for an existing subscription to cancel is due to the expiration of the current payment method on file. You may always contact Skype Customer Service for further assistance. Regards,Elaine

Skype number and calling subscription: how can I r...
I would like to know how to renew my Skype number for one-year instead of three months? I initially paid for a full year, but the auto renewal only went for three months. I would like to take advantage of the larger discounts by renewing for a longer period.
Hi, Tambor_Skype, and welcome to the Community,
Yes; you will have the same number -- as long as you reactivate your number within the 90 days following your Skype Number subscription's actual expiration date. While it appears to be a convoluted process, I can attest to the fact that it works.
Regards,
Elaine
