Because Skype's Online Numbers can't be used to receive SMS messages. This is how they have always worked, and Skype hasn't advertised that the Online Numbers can be used to receive SMS messages.
If you want to provide a way for those receiving your SMS messages from Skype to reply to you, you would have to set up Caller ID to use a mobile number on the SMS messages you send from Skype. The replies would go to your mobile phone, not to your Skype account.

Receiving texts on skype online number

Can we receive text messages (sms) on skype online numbers?

No. Skype's Online Numbers are not capable of receiving SMS messages.
If you want to provide a way for people to reply to your SMS messages, you can use the Caller ID settings and configure a mobile number to appear on your SMS messages sent from Skype. This requires Skype to send two SMS messages to your mobile number, which would be paid for with Skype Credit. Once the mobile number is verified, it will be shown as the sender for your SMS messages from Skype. This is available for mobile numbers in most parts of the world, excliding mobile numbers in Japan and Mexico.

Subscriptions and Online Number

I have a 1 month subscription and want to get an online number (3-month subscription) ...my question is - If I purchase the 3-month subscription does that mean that my 1-month unlimited subscription is extended for the next months as part of the online number subscription (unlimited cals, texts, etc.)?

Hello,
Subscriptions are not linked to Online Numbers. Your subscription will be extended every month even if you don't purchase an Online Number, until you cancel recurring payments.
You will be charged separately for the calling subscription and Online Number, but keep in mind that Online Numbers are not extended automatically like subscriptions.
If your Online Number expires then you have to manually extend it.

How use new skype online number to send sms from s...

I want to send sms to cell phones and have my new skype online number show as the sender. But, how to get the 'code' to set this up? Does not seem to be working.

This is not possible sadly, I have taken issue with this in Australia in the past. To recieve text messages you must set your sms number to your mobile phone number then verify this number by entering the code that is sent to your mobile. I am working on recieving messages on skype it is my thinking that it wold be very difficult to compete with skype as a normal telecom so they don't allow it.

Diverting an online number

Hi,
I work with an arts company that spends 5 months of the year on tour - at the moment we change phone numbers every few weeks, which makes it difficult/confusing for performers to get a hold of us in emergencies. I was just wondering if there is a way to set up an online number that we could easily divert to the office land line of whichever theatre we are in at the time, and what the costs involved would be with that sort of set up?
Thanks very much for your help
Kate

Hi,
Vocabulary check: when you say "divert," I interpret that as "forward." Are we referring to the same thing?
If yes, an on-line number can be forwarded to a fixed or land line or mobile number. Calls answered by voice mail could also be transferred to SpinVox and sent to a mobile phone as a text message. Depending upon the quality of the voice mail recording, I find SpinVox does the job well enough so I can interpret the message.
What steps are required to forward calls may be easy to me, you may find those same steps onerous. So you can make an informed decision, here are links to more information:

Me and my dad share the same online number for friends and colleagues to call us, but it seems that the calls that come through to me are ad-hoc whilst my dad gets every call on his system. I just wondered if this is because 2 systems are trying to access the same online number?

I managed to get an online number but bought it for the wrong Skype account - is there any way I can get it transferred across to a different Skype account?

It's not possible to transfer products from one account to another. But you can request a refund and purchase a new number for the correct account.

My Online number seems to have disappeared Help

I have an online skype Uk number but in the last couple of days people have told me they get a message saying to say it is not a valid number. I tried myself calling my UK online number from Italy and got a message to say the area code is not valid (0115 code)
Can someone tell me what's happening to my online number?
Can someone give an email address to contact customer service to resolve this issue, (please don't give me the usual links to skype FAQ that lead to nothing, even going through all the rubbish when I actaully type in the query it doesn't give me an option to submit the email) as I have paid for an online number that as far as I am aware is still a valid as I have received no notification that is due to expire. I just want I direct email address to customer service.
Why is it that people with no payment plan have no longer acess to the online chat support?
Yours truley

Online Number isn't showing up on people's caller ...

Is there any way to fix this? My online number works because I recently paid for it and it expires May 20.
I know the number works because when I call myself, it rings but displays the "unkown number" problem.
Let me know if there's a way to solve this please.

Update on this issue. I had another support chat:

Hi, My Online Number Caller ID shows up when the call is received on a mobile phone, but not on a BT landline (in the UK). My Online Number area code is Cambridge (01223) - is it possible Caller ID would work with BT if the Online Number area code was a different area, like London (020)?
... (support)
If caller ID isn’t displaying, it’s possible caller ID isn’t supported by the local telecommunication provider for the country you are calling. Caller ID is passed along with a call, from Skype through the local telephone companies, up to the mobile or landline number you dialled. If one of the links in the chain does not support caller ID properly, a default number or no number at all will be displayed instead. In most countries, caller ID is supported by the local providers and the number should display as normal. However, there are a few countries where caller ID can be less reliable or it does not work at all.
... (support)
Thank you for waiting. Upon checking this. We the Online Number is currently not supported in BT landlines. We are currently working with the providers so that we can provide our services to most of our clients across the globe. We understand the inconveniece this have cause and we apologize for this. We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to make Skype even better.
... (me)
Thanks. When will Caller ID work with BT landlines?
... (support)I cannot guarantee a specific time, but we're working on it. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
... (me)
Please escalate this issue. In the UK, BT has 15.8 million landline customers. Sype Online Number in the UK is useless for business until Caller ID works.

Will do.

Yes you can.

TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?
