Temporarily disable a Skype number

I work for a particular company freelance and I use a Skype number when I work there. I plan to take three weeks off and I don't want calls from the numerous clients that I work with while I'm away.
I tried "canceling" my number; now it forwards calls to my personal number. Is there a solution for temporarily disabling a number? Even better if I can leave an outgoing message telling them I won't be returning their calls.
Thanks!

 Hi, jandazza, and welcome to the Community!
As you posted your enquiry on the Skype Manager message board, is the on-line number affiliated with a Skype Manager account?
I am concerned that when you cancelled the number, you cancelled the on-line number subscription.  Please test to see if you still have the number!  Skype Customer Service may be able to re-claim the number for you if indeed the subscription was inadvertently cancelled; I am not sure this would be possible ... here is a link to start with: contact customer service
There is no solution to temporarily disabling a number; as I tried to explain, above, an on-line number is actually a subscription.  You could forward the calls to a Skype account with voice mail activated to answer calls immediately (no delay) in order to record the "I am away from the office" message.

  • Transfer Skype Number to Another Account

    Hi,
    I've been a Skype number subscriber for 2 years now. Bought it to receive calls from clients the problem is that we've rebranded our company with a new name and that will also mean we move to a new Skype account with new username.
    How can I move the old number to the new account? I'll appreciate if anyone can help me do so.
    Thanks

    Hi, Azamk, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, this does happen.  What also can happen is that the former user of the number did not send a timely "contact details update" notice -- or may have simply gone out of business.    Please contact Skype Customer Service to report this and to request refund of the subscription.   We here in the Community do not have the tools to do this.

  • Lost ipod and not sure where, can an ipod be temporarily disabled ?

    lost ipod but maybe at home somewhere, not sure where its been lost. can it be temporarily disabled ?, just in case it turns up

    I do not know what yo mean by disabled and what model iPod y ohave:
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    Can a mini iPad be temporarily disabled if not in possession, but have serial number and contract when I purchased it?

    As Radiation Mac said, you must have set up Find my iPad before it was lost or stolen. This is how it is done: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    In any case you should follow Apple's recommendations for a lost or stolen device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668

    Solved!

    There is no generic password, that would create a HUGE security hole. If you have held the reset pinhole down for 15 seconds or so with the unit powered on, then released it, the password should be set to what is on the router label. admin will be the user and when you type the password  you should see what appears to be other characters when you type..
    One person with this issue had to type the password into notepad and copy paste it to get in.
    You can change the  default setting of 5 bad logins but I DO NOT  recommend this  credit to armond_in_nj
    "You can reset the number of allowed unsuccessful logins. Log on to the device, then click on "Advanced." In the far left column, choose "Users." In "Login Configuration" set the desired number of unsuccessful logins. 
    Also be sure to either activate, accept, or save all desired changes prior to changing screens or logging off."
    Personally I have also added and extra user in case I have an issue with admin

  • How to temporarily disable on delete cascade but not the constraint

    Hi all
    i would like to know if this is possible
    how to temporarily disable on delete cascade but not the constraint
    i want to delete a row from the primary key table but i dont want the data from the foreign key to be deleted even though there is an on delete cascade set.
    how do i temporarily disable on delete cascade from firing without disabling the constraint
    Rgrds

    There is an option which I've never used before but just read about which is to create your foreign key constraint as on delete SET NULL
    instead of on delete cascade.
    This will allow you to delete a parent and will set the foreign key column values in the child table to nulls
    e.g.
    SQL> create table parent (father varchar2(30) primary key,
      2                       age number);
    Table created.
    SQL>
    SQL> create table child (father varchar2(30) constraint fk references parent(father) on delete set null,
      2                      child varchar2(30),
      3                      age number);
    Table created.
    SQL>                    
    SQL> insert into parent values ('JOHN', 34);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into child values ('JOHN', 'SARAH', 10);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into child values ('JOHN', 'BILL', 12);                   
    1 row created.
    SQL>
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL>
    SQL> delete from parent where father = 'JOHN';
    1 row deleted.
    SQL>
    SQL> select * from child;
    FATHER                         CHILD                                 AGE
                                   SARAH                                  10
                                   BILL                                   12

  • Subscription, Skype number, Refund

    Hi There:
    I have a Skype number and 120 minutes UK for 3 months. Now I don’t remember how does this Skype number subscription work. I don’t remember the billing date and don’t understand from my account billing section. Today my 3 months UK minutes has been automatically got subscribed and also £10 credit on my account that I don’t want anymore. Now all i want is a Skype number with Unlimited International subscription. Have been trying with Skype customer chat service (support request) but every single time I click it asks me to sign in (even though I’m signed in) brings me to a page where it says at the moment it couldn’t bring the page up....have been doing this for last few months. That's why I disabled my payment option so when it ends I can get the new subscription I want. Few hours before I got an email stating that my subscription is canceled, warring it might affect my skype number (which is very important to me) as soon I enabled the payment option it made an automatic purchase of the old subscription. Now I can cancel the subscription but I don’t want to loose my Skype number, it happened to my once and I cannot afford it anymore. So, I wanted to discuss this with a customer service agent (chat or email) to sort out my issues. 
    I can't believe a world renowned brand has such an appalling customer service system. 
    Got stuck with this service, cannot leave for this number is been distributed everywhere in my business.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1. Next payment will be taken on November 15, 2014 ) which is confusing cause November 15 is gone.
    2. If I purchase Unlimited World bundle do I have to pay seperately for this number?
    3. I have UK 120 minutes I want refund (as credit on my account) for it so I can purchase the bundle.
    4. can you please let me know if Im to pay seperately for the number (UK) how much would be costing
    Hello
    1. Please read my previous post.
    2. Yes.
    3. Subscriptions aren't refundable. Cancel it at your account page. Cancellation is effective on the renewal date of your current billing cycle - February 19th 2015 - and you can use it until then.

  • Temporarily disable hyperlinks when zoomed in? (OS 3.0.1)

    Hi all,
    Is there a way in Mail or Safari on the iPhone to temporarily disable all hyperlinks when zoomed in? I am visually impaired and zoom in quit a lot on HTML email messages and in Safari. I can't count the number of times I've accidentally activated a hyperlink when panning around the page while zoomed in. This is very annoying! I can hardly read an entire article while zoomed in without activating some link on that page.
    I don't think there is a way but I wanted to at least ask the forum before submitting feedback to Apple. Any other suggestions on how to avoid this annoyance will be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Steven

    Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do that. I feel your pain; I have an eye problem as well and it's kind of frustrating, but it helps if you just try to avoid pressing the links while zooming.

  • Northern Colorado, USA - Skype number has been dis...

    As with the others here, our incoming Skype number rejects all calls with "You have reached a number that has been disconnected." or something equivalent, depending on the calling carrier. There's no way to do any workaround like forwarding or voicemail, as the call is rejected at the very incoming level. We've had this number for over 4 years, and now it's useless. There is plenty of credit sitting there in Skype Manager, so there's no reason from our end for it to be disabled.
    I already have an escalation with Skype support that has been in for 1.5 days so far with no effect on the problem.

    Hello Elaine,
    Thank you for your assistance. Since we became aware of the outage at approximately 9AM, Dec. 24 US Mountain Time, I have been making use of Skype support's "live chat" to try to get information or any sort of feedback about what to expect. The first live chat session was at 9:17 MST on Tuesday, but given that Skype has generally been able to resolve outages like this fairly quickly in the past, there was no escalation at that point and I was not very worried. When the problem was still happening Tuesday evening, I used support chat again close to 8PM MST. The technical escalation was put in close to 9PM Tuesday night. At 5AM MST, an Email came in regarding the "SRX" escalation, but the email was completely in Chinese, and any attempts to use Babelfish or Google translation were unsuccessful in retrieving anything intelligible from that email.
    Last night, after another full day of outage, I once again went on Skype live chat support and interacted with a support person who was very empathetic, but really had nothing to offer other than "All we can do is wait."
    At this point, it's been yet another full day since then with no change in the problem and zero usable communication from the "technical escalation" aspect of the situation.
    I have probably "overcommunicated" here, but I thought it was worthwhile to make clear that I have been communicating repeatedly (3 times so far) with "first level" Skype support, but I don't know that there would be reason to expect it would do any good to chat with them again tonight.
    The "just waiting in the dark" goes on.
    Thanks again!

  • Temporarily disable automatic matnr matn1 conversion

    is there a way to temporarily disable automatic matnr conversion? when user input 747 in matnr, behind the scene it put 000000747, is there a way to temporary disable the conversion without programming?

    I think you need to change the way you insert records into this table. You need to convert the material number into internal format before inserting it into the table. This is a mistake that happens lot of times with custom tables. If material number is part of the key fields, then it will be even more difficult. Let us say you have a record with matnr as 1234. Now you want to update this record through SM30. System brings up the record, you make changes to the some non-key fields and save it. Systems issues the message 'Data Saved', but if you check, the data will not change. This is because of the conversion.
    You need to change your program that inserts records into this table to convert the material number into internal format before inserting.
    For the existing records, you will have to do a conversion either programatically or through SM30(if maintenance is allowed). In SM30, bring all the records in change mode. Select all of them and then press copy. Now you will have two sets of records. They all look the same, but you will have select the first set(it will still remain as selected) and delete them. You then save. Your table should now have the records in the internal format.
