Subscriptions to receive calls?

Hi guys,
My fiancee is from the UK, while I am in the US. While I figure out my visa to move in a few months, I have a UK skype number so he can call me for free, but I get charged through Skype and I cover it with my Skype credit (the call is forwarded to my mobile). Is there any subscription that would cover the scenario of received calls, rather than making calls? All the subscriptions say "CALLING TO", but never mention receiving calls. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

the only reason you are being charged when your fiancee calls your Skype Number is that you are forwarding them to your mobile, and that is an OUTGOING call from Skype's perspective
you need either Skype Credit or a calling subscription (like Unlimited US/Canada) to cover the cost of these calls
Regards,
Neil

Paid for a subscription but cannot receive calls

My year subscription was ending, so I renewed with a one month unlimited world. It shows the payment was delivered. I have logged out of my account and back in like was suggested on the website. People from landlines and cell phones cannot call my number. I can call out to cell phones and landlines, but when they try to call me, they get a busy signal or the call will not go through. I had no trouble with my previous subscription, so I don't understand what's going on.
I use my Skype for work, so am in a bit of a quandry because my clients cannot reach me if there is a problem.
Please help!
Thanks,

Hello,
Do you mean an Online#?
To receive calls you require an Online#.
A Call Plan subscription will allow you to make calls - not receive them.
If your issue is with an Online # make sure it is activated.
If it is first check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''. Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from "Only people from my Contacts List". Save and wait for 5 minutes. Log out from your Skype account and log back in. Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone". Save and wait for 5 minutes. Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

Receiving Calls w/ Unlimited Subscription

I just bought an unlimited subscription for U.S. & Canada and I would like to make sure that that also covers incoming calls. Meaning, that I won't have to pay anything extra when someone calls me over Skype with my online phone number.
Thank you!

Hi,
Subscriptions themselves don't include currently Online Numbers, therefore if you wish to receive a call from landline or mobile number you will need to purchase Online Number separately.

If you wish to receive calls from other Skype users then they can simply call your Skype username.

How to receive calls?

Since I go to business trip around the world quite ofter, I was looking for the best way for me to make and receive calls.
Since most of my business partners are not skype users AND I may not have internet connection, I would like to know how can I make and receive landline/mobile calls without any internet connection.
It seems to me that I can call someone's landline/mobile using a Skype To Go number without internet connection, but how exactly can I RECEIVE calls using this same Skype To Go number? I know that I can receive landline/mobile calls with Skype Number in Skype but that would require internet connection.
Again, for Pay As You Go and Subscription, how can I receive calls from landline/mobile?
Thank you very much.

Are you wanting these calls to go to your voicemail automatically or you'll be answering live?

Skype number forwarding to mobile costing to much each receiving call??

Hi, I brought a skype number, I only want to use it for receiving incoming calls.. I do not wish to call anyone on my skype number.. But I've been having to buy credit a few times now because each time someone calls my skype number & i have it so it forwards to my mobile phone it's costing me to much ? Is there a cheaper way I can have my Skype number & receive incoming calls forwarded to my mobile phone? When I answer not on Skype, iPhone mobile phone number I pick the call from?? I subscribed to something I thought was it but I was rong because I still have no credit to receive calls to my mobile phone?
Can someone help me please ?

Hey, Mell.johns
Welcome to the Skype Community!
To better understand your inquiries, let me re-word your questions and then attempt to answer it.
Q: Is there a cheaper way to receive incoming calls from my Skype Number on my mobile phone?
A: Sure, you can answer calls from your iPhone for no additional charge by using Skype for iPhone! Sign in and your calls will ring there at the same time your computers signed onto Skype would!
Q: When I'm not on Skype, can I pick the call up from my iPhone mobile number?
A: Yes, but that requires Skype Credit or a calling subscription for calling out. Again, picking up from the iPhone app won't cost you more.
If these questions & answers do not satisfy you, please attempt to re-explain your questions in further detail so that we could try this again!

I just purchase a subscription and received email ...

I just purchase a subscription and received email said delivered but I still can make calls

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
Your account shows that you have used your full minutes allocation in your current billing cycle and your next minutes will be added to your account when your next billing cycle starts on May 29th 2015.
Renewing your monthly Subscription before your billing cycle ends has no effect on the date upon which your minutes allocation will be added to your account.
To continue calling until your next minutes allocation is applied to your account please purchase either a Subscription but with a different amount of minutes or Skype Credit.

Subscription for unlimited calls to US

Good morning, i want to buy the subscription for unlimited calls to US for a month, but i have some problems:
1. There it says that if i want unlimited calls on US mobile number i have to say that before i pay the subscription , but i complete everything i can not write anywhere that i want unlimited minutes to US mobile number. I am not interested in unlimited calls to landlines
2. I put the card number... and so on, but i can not make the payment it says to chech if i have money or verify my account, it can be possible this because i have a Master Card with LEI, not with Dollars or Euro

I just signed up for the premium service yesterday (I have had a "regular" Skype account for years) and seem to have the same problem. How do I link my newly purchased outside phone number and my new annual subscription together? I emailed Skype tech support about 24 hours ago and have received no reply.

How can I receive calls from Skype number

Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?

Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money. You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.

Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Paul Gaydos

Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case. Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
thanks

My iphone 4s can't send text messages or receive calls

I've had my phone a few months now and I have had no issues. All of a suddent this morning I notice I can not receive calls or send out text messages. I'm told they either go straight to my voicemail or they get a message saying my service has been temporairly disconnected. I can make calls and I can receive texts. I can access the internet through my data. Has anyone had this issue? If so does anyone know of a fix? My carrier says the towers in my area are fine with no known issues.

You are not alone I could not only send messages but I could not even type in the box went in the setting and notice that iMessage was turned off and when I reactivated it my phone now making the most horrible sound when a message comes in or goes out and I cannot stop it. Also make sure that the Do Not Disturb option is on.

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S. Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls? HELP!

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.
I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
HELP!

MarketingMary,
I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb

Curve 8520 cannot send/receive calls or SMS when in range of WiFi - since foreign holiday

Re-posting this in the Curve forum, where it belongs... hoping someone can help.
Recently the whole family went to Spain for two weeks. All four of our phones (a Google Nexus 4, a BB Curve 9300 and two BBCurve 8520s) worked OK in Spain, connected to local mobile networks, sent and received texts and so on.
Since returning to the UK, the BlackBerry handsets have all had problems getting re-registered to our home network (giffgaff, which uses the O2 network, as I understand it). The nexus has been fine from the moment we got back, but the BB handsets are not.
The symptoms: when in range of a registered WiFi connection, the phones cannot send or receive texts (SMS) or make or receive calls, when out of range of WiFi, they do (sometimes) succeed. It is as though the WiFi settings are over-ruling the service books / HRT for the mobile network.
The 9300 seems to have sorted itself out, thanks (possibly) to an OS upgrade. The 8520s remain basically useless.
We have tried: battery pulls, SIM pulls, manual network registration, clearing the service books and re-registering, switching SIM cards between the phones (whichever SIM is in the 9300 works OK, whichever SIM is in the 8520 does not work), OS upgrade.
The network shows on the handset screen, and connection is shown as EDGE. But calls do not get connected and SMS messages fail with "too many retries". Attempts to re-register the handset result in a message being received that the handset has been registered but it makes no difference.
The network provider (giffgaff) say they have done everything they can, and I should speak to "an engineer" - but it seems very unlikely to me that all three phones suffered a hardware fault while flying home from Spain, and that the 9300 somehow fixed itself. So I'm convinced it is a registration issue, but giffgaff are not exactly confident in their support for BB.
So - has anyone ever seen this behaviour before, and how can we fix it?
Thanks

Is there a way to switch off by default the video on FaceTime? I only ever use this app for audio/calls and hate the video being on. I especially hate that if I leave the app open to receive calls it means the camera and green light are on.

My issue is that I can't find a way to have the camera switched off when the app is open and so this means if I want the app open all day to receive calls then the camera is going to be on the whole time. Even if it didn't potentially drain the battery, or add to the CPU usage or whatever else may cause any problems whatsoever (wheel of death!), I just don't want the camera on as I don't see myself ever wanting to use the video call feature but I would use the audio/call multiple times throughout the day to make and receive calls. The camera being on when the app is open is enough to prevent me from using the app. Also ever since seeing that episode of criminal minds where if you saw the green light on above the screen then it meant the killer was watching you!
Basically I just can't believe there isn't a way to disable the camera whilst having the app running. I know when initiating an audio call the camera goes away, but I would like the camera away the whole time. To me it just would make sense that if you click the video option then the camera is on, and if you click the audio option then the camera goes off. It just seems waaaaay to basic a thought for apple to have missed... Let's face it, we're not all as pretty as the people in the apple adverts and don't want to see our ugly mugs staring back as us when we work all day at our macs!

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.
