Subscription Phone Number Question

I could use your help. I have a real phone number through Skype and a US/Canada unlimited subscription. I will be traveling in South America for a few weeks and wanted to know if I will be able to send/receive calls on my Skype number without any additional charges event though I will not physically be in the US. 
I do want to clarify that I live in the US full time and am not trying to scam the system. I just need to know if there will be any additional charges on receiving/placing calls for the few weeks I am gone.
Thanks for your assistance.

Normally, her new phone will be activated with her existing number and you will have to have the old phone activated with a different number (including the $30/month data plan). I just went through this process, I bought a 3GS and gave my 3G to one of my kids.

  • Iphone sync phone number questions

    I am sync my iphone to my google apps contacts with the google iphone app. Everything works fine.
    One contact, however, has two mobile numbers. The 2nd mobile number is the 3rd phone number. That 3rd phone number does not sync at all to iphone.
    I will post to google, but first I want to make sure this is not an iphone issue.
    Iphone can sync to as many phone numbers as there are, right?
    Iphone can handle multiple mobile number, right?
    Sometimes I get a work fax synced instead of a work number, not an iphone issue, right?
    thanks!

    It's a known issue with Google Sync - remember that it's a beta!

  • Move subscription / phone number to a different ac...

    Hi,
    I have 2 skype numbers connected to my account. This is not optimal because I want to forward both numbers to different mobiles and that is not possible. So I want to switch one number to a new skype account which will result in 2 different account, each connected with one skype number.
    But I cannot figure out how to get this done. I could cancel one subscription and claim it with the other account. But I am not sure it the number is available right away.
    Anyone got an idea?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi, PvdB, and welcome to the Community,
    You are on the right track: because Skype does not permit the transfer of any calling feature, subscription, or credit from one account to another, our only recourse is to cancel one Skype Number subscription and start a new subscription on a new account, thereby achieving the goal of being able to transfer two Skype Numbers to two different mobile phone numbers.
    What you would have to do - with no guarantee of success - would be to cancel one of the Skype Number subscriptions (which would still be usable until the end of the subscription term), then wait the 90 days while the number is held in reserve on your account to reactivate it, and then hope you can "grab" the number when it is released back into the available pool of numbers from which to choose.
    In keeping things simple, there is no flexibility with changing plans or subscriptions.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Getting back phone number

    Verizon just took my wireless phone number away from me (my actual carrier is Straighttalk), during approximately 6 hours between my Straighttalk's monthly plan ended and when I went to reactivate my number. I've had the number for 10 years ... starting as a Verizon Landline customer, until they sold to FairPoint Communications, and then I ported the number to Straighttalk when I dropped the landline for a cell phone.  I can't begin to tell you the inconvenience this has caused me, and it's only been two days since I lost my phone number.  I think Verizon wanted the number back because it's a coveted number in the Burlington, VT area.  My father is disabled with dimentia and prostate cancer ... all of his doctors, urologists, VNA in Chittenden County, VT as well as VNA in Western CT has this number.  I am also his Power of Attorney, so all of his financial dealings - banks, retirement, pension plans, stock portfolios, etc, etc have this number and it is used to verify his accounts - all gone, because Verizon pulled the number out from under me during a couple of hours that my cell phone card ran out and the time (just several hours) before I reactivated the account.  I'm frustrated beyond words.  On top of all the inconvenience, this number is one of only two that my Dad can still remember - it is/was his lifeline to call me in case he had an emergency.  The other number is a CT Landline, but I'm not around that landline most of the time to answer.  I can't believe a phone company can pull a customer's number from out underneath them like this and not care about the havoc they've created.  They could have at least checked with the customer.  Very dissapointed with Verizon.

    Hello ,
    I would be happy to answer your wireless phone number question.
    With our GoPhone service, you have 60 days to add money to your account and keep your mobile number.  When you return to the states in September, you would need to start a GoPhone account with a new wireless number.  You can go into an AT&T Store to see a list of 10 available phone numbers to choose from.
    Thank you,

  • Paid $60 - for a phone number rather than a subscription? Please chime in and help a newbie

    Hi, first a quick rant: I'm an EXTREMELY frustrated new user. I have spent the last hour trying to figure out what I just purchased and what I can do to get an explaination, but whoever created this website did so without a new user in mind. Quickly: I need help trying to determine what I just purchased and what to do from here. As Quickly as I can explain what's going on: My friend in Croatia told me he spent $60 for unlimited calling. He can apparently call anywhere to phones - as we made several calls to landlines in both the states and england from his computer. We've since left his place. As I'm traveling to many countries, I figured this was a great idea, I'll pay up front instead of purchasing credits. I whipped out my credit card and paid $60 after chosing a number. After about an hour, the transaction cleared on my account with a renewal in 12 months. I went to make a call and it said I didn't have enough credit. After trying to figure out what happened all I can determine is that I might have paid for the use of a phone number for 12 months and not a subscription. Now of course after trying for several hours trying to find out how to contact Microsoft or Skype - or Whatever help center - for the past hour and finding they deflect all help to their help pages that comes nowhere NEAR helping me or explaining what has happened - and if I made a mistake how to correct it. I apparently need to spend more money for a premium account to get actual advice or any kind of resolution. Any company that takes money and expects a new user just to GET it, without providing some human interaction is a horrid company. So I paid for something I didn't want and can't use. I THINK. But I can't request a refund or help because I haven't paid for a premium account. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks so much; I realize you're probably just a user of the service like myself.

It is required under Section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. The SBREFA '96 required portability in the largest 100 Metropolitan statistical areas. Then in 2003, the requirement was expanded to ALL carriers regardless of geographical location.
    In order for a number to be ported, roughly speaking you must live in the area code's geography. So, you can't port a New York number to Iowa.
    If you have a problem porting your phone number from one service provider to another, first try to resolve it with the service provider. If you cannot resolve the problem directly, you can file a complaint with the FCC. There is no charge for filing a complaint. You can file your complaint using an FCC online complaint form. You can also file your complaint with the FCC’s Consumer Center by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) for TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to the Federal Communications Commission at:

  • Will someone PLEASE help a desperate woman by telling me how to talk by phone to a real person at apple support. Cannot find an answer to my question and cannot find a phone number for support.

    I set up my new iPad under my daughters ID because her's is attached to my email. Tried to rent a movie from iTunes. Said I had to answer security questions since it was my first purchase. She didn't remember the answers. So it locked. She reset her password and everything works on her iPad but on mine it still wanting answers to the security questions and we don't have the answers (her questions could have multiple answers...favorite teacher, favorite friend). Is there a way to completely disconnect from her ID or can someone please share the phone number for customer support with me? Thanks so much in advance!

    Providing you know your ID and password, you should be able to rewrite your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > password & security.

  • Reactivate subscription and phone number

    I have tried to reactivate my account with an annual subscription to take advantage of the 50% discount as well as not worry about renewing for a year but it defaulted to only 90 days. There is nowhere to correct this and everytime I try to renew/reactivate my phone number it says it will overlap.
    Please contact me as soon as possible with a solution and correction.
    FYI, I JUST WANT TO RENEW/REACTIVATE MY ACCOUNT FOR 1 YEAR AS WELL AS RENEW/REACTIVATE MY PHONE NUMBER:
    [Personal information redacted for privacy.]
    BTW, you've got to have the WORST support service I've ever encountered with useless links that don't help and a looping support system that goes nowhere. If you would have a functional Chat feature (this has not worked on IE or Chrome for me for the last 1/2 hour) and/or a customer support email address then this forum would not be such a waste of time.
    I impatiently await your reply.

    Hello,
    To get the discount for the Online Number, you have to purchase the subscription first. When you have an active subscription, the discount will automatically be applied to the Online Number purchase.
    As you have purchased the Online Number first, I advise you to contact customer service to cancel the Online Number purchase so that you could repurchase it (the same number will be reserved for your account).

  • Does Subscription Come with Phone Number Purchase?

    I just bought a skype phone number.  I thought it comes with unlimited minutes, but every time I try to use it is says I have to buy a subscription.  Does that sound right?
    Thanks
    Alan

    Yes that is right. You need to buy the subscription first then you get 50% off your skype number.
    If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.
    Thank You!

  • External Phone Number Mask Question

    We have several phones with NonDID number on them.  Our route pattern is setup to use an external phone number mask of the sites main number (1112223333).  However on two of the phones, we would like to have a different number displayed (1112224444). We have tried to do this by entering this number (1112224444) into the extranal phone number mask of the DN on the 2 phone.  This did not work, the main number (1112223333) is still being displayed (caller ID).
    We know that we can just remove the external phone number mask from the route pattern and then enter one (external phone number mask) into every dn.  But, is there an easlier way to accomplsish this (there are currently 50 phones at this site)?

    Unless the checkbox for use the external calling party number is checked in the RP it's useless to set it on the phone.
    You're sending the main number because most likely the checkbox is unchecked and as you mentioned you have hardcoded that mask.
    Other than copying the RP, creating new partition and modifying CSS from those 2 phones, I would just check the checkbox on the RP and use BAT to change the external calling party mask on the DNs.
