Transfer Existing Phone Number To Skype Online Num...

Can an existing landline or mobile service number be transferred to Skype as my Skype Online number?

It probably depends on which country you are based, though normally you cannot port a phone number to Skype. There are USA companies which, for a monthly fee circa $10, allow you to park your landline number with them and they will foward calls to Skype.

Maybe. Your phone should have settings to set forwarding for all calls to your T-Mobile number. If you enable that, your T-Mobile phone won't ring anymore, but you could still use your phone to make calls and for sending/receiving SMS or MMS messages.
If you are asking about forwarding calls when the mobile phone is on but you don't answer the phone, instead of those calls going to a T-Mobile voicemail system, you *may* be able to change that. T-Mobile doesn't let you do that on a prepaid phone, and that appears to be the same if you use some other prepaid services that ride on T-Mobile's network like Straight Talk. It may be possible on a postpaid plan (one where you get a monthly invoice to pay).
As for what T-Mobile would charge, you'd have to check on your plan or contact T-Mobile. Some plans have unlimited calling that includes call-forwarding, others only provide for a certain number of minutes for call-forwarded calls a month, and then there are some "plans" that make you pay for anything that is call-forwarded from your T-Mobile number. The T-Mobile web site may be able to help answer that, or a call to their customer service number will need to be made.
Good luck!

Transfer current phone number to skype

Is it possible to transfer my current phone number to Skype? It is a danish phone number.

No, you won't be able to transfer a number to Skype. Skype does not participate in number-portability schemes, so you would have to select a Danish number from what Skype has available.

The exact same thing has happened to me! The customer service reps keep saying there is nothing they can do until their system upgrades are complete and they can't tell me when that will be! I need my phone number back!!! Somebody please help with this issue!

How long does it take to transfer a phone number T-Mobile to EE?

How long does it take to transfer a phone number T-Mobile to EE?

Hi,
Depends when the request is made but it can be up to 48 hours during busy periods.
Thanks,

Online number the same as an existing phone number...

Okay, I'll ask this a second time. I'm starting to wonder if there's actually a customer service department around here or not...
I am a Phoenix area resident, but I'm currently working overseas. I set up a Skype online number so that people could call me back home. In particular, I am getting ready to start grad school and I need this number available to take calls from my advisors.
Unfortunatley, I get about 2-3 calls per day from different numbers. People claim that someone from my number keeps calling them and hanging up. Obviously, this is not true. I'm not even logged in unless I'm home.
Because I am expecting important calls on this number, I can not block calls that are not on my contacts. That would block calls from people whom I need to speak to. I need this mystery resolved as quickly as possible. I have paid good money for this number and I do not want to have to shut it off.
Is there any actual customer service department here, or am I on my own? When I posted the question, I didn't mean "Oh, ignore it and make me wait 6 days."

I own a small business and use Skype as my outgoing calls from my home and kept a basic At&t incoming groundline into my home. The problem is sometimes potential clients just call back on the number in their caller ID instead of my home number.
I would like to make my displayed number from me on Skype to people I call showing my home telephone number. Can this be done?
Thanks, JT
The only way you could make your home number appear as Caller ID when you call from Skype is if your home number can receive the SMS messages sent by Skype in the verification process. In most places, landline phones are not able to receive SMS messages, so your landline telephone carrier would be able to answer that. If the landline number can't receive SMS messages, then you would not be able to use it as Caller ID with Skype.

Can't forward from my cell phone to my skype onlin...

I have purchased a Skype online number. I can forward my cell phone number to that Skype number and answer on my computer, but not on my iPhone with the Skype app. Any thoughts?

How long does it take for Orange to transfer my phone number contract to payg

I have been with Orange on contract since 2000, and decided to leave.I let Orange know in advance of my contract expiry on 22/6/15.They said I could not have a payg sim so far in advance.I rang two weeks before the contract expiry and they said they would send me a payg sim.They sent it to an address which I have never lived at, and which has never appeared on my bill.I went on holiday.When I came back the new sim had not arrived so I phoned Orange. They said we have sent it to an address in Bedfordshire which you have never lived at. Never mind we’ll send you another payg sim to your home.By now we are nearly a month after my contract expired.I have received the payg sim and the mobile number attached, I managed to get the temp number topped up and requested they transfer my number on Weds 22/7/15.By today Monday I have lost five days of business and my old number has not been transferred. I rang them twice on 23rd July, and again twice on 24th often to find out that they charge me 25p to get a message saying they are not open, so that’s £1 so far. And again with 20 minutes holding listening to music at lunchtime totals £1.25.Over the weekend make that £11 (had to top up).The phone number &*()_ i want to keep is now dead and has stopped taking voicemails.I need this number as it is on all my business cards and website.When you do finally get the number working on payg, I will then get Orange to supply a pac code and move to a different provider.One of the many departments I spoke to yesterday on your 25p line said I should give you a month to get out of the contract. I said I am on payg and I will go when I like!This abysmal level of service for 15 years is why I am leaving orange.The people on the 25p line also have a very poor understanding of English and are more interested in parroting that EE is a great service provider with a good network or some such nonsense.I hope they get my number working so that I can get off Orange network. at the time of writing 5 days and counting so far to transfer a number. At various stages the customer service line have said that I have never been with orange, (after 15 years of once a month bills), they have laughed and said no managers are here at weekends and put the phone down on me. They have given me a manager to speak to, who has given me an incorrect pac code to go to another network. The manager has not been contactable since. And every time I ring they say you must give it another 24 hours or 48 hours

Hi ,
I'm very sorry to hear of the problems you have had moving to pay as you go.
Please can you give customer service a call and ask to speak to the pay monthly retentions team who will be able to fix this issue for you.

Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

Transfer existing number to online number?

I was wondering if it was possible to transfer an existing phone number to a skype online number. We've recently moved from the US to Canada and were hoping to get a skype online number of my wife's cell phone number (which she still has, but is planning to cancel) in order to ease communication with our family/friends back home.
Thanks!

It's unlikely any time soon, I'm afraid.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Transfer Existing Number between accounts, with out the penalty of a New 1 or 2 year agrement..

I currently have 4 Cell Phones on my Personal Verizon Account and have been with Verizon for longer than I can remember. None of my lines are under any type of Time restrictive agreement (i.e. One or Two Year). The company I work for uses Verizon as well and said they will pay for on of my lines, if I transfer it to their Business Account. I was told by a Verizon Representative that because all of my contracts/agreements are more than 13 months old that when the day comes to transfer my phone number back to my Personal Verizon Account I "Will Not" be forced into a new 1 or 2 year agreement. (i.e. Existing Personal VZ Number, with no pending agreements, transferred to a Business Account and when transferred back I will not be forced into a New early termination agreement...) Is this correct?

This is a personal observation. I would not transfer the line (number) to your company. First reason once transferred to them the line now becomes the companies property.
Usually a company will issue a line of service and device if they require you to have one for work use.
Secondly, the company will have total access to your calling, texting and internet history. Not good.
Third, transferring the number back to you at a later date may not be possible. You would be doing an assumption of liability on the line even though you previously owned the line. Credit check and possibly a security deposit. And your plan or service may be impacted in ways I am not thinking of.
When I was in charge of adding users to our account we opened the line and number and had total control of the billing and use of the line.
A few employees would use their own cells and submitted the copy of their invoices with work calls highlighted. This was also a nightmare especially not really knowing if the calls were business or personal. We forbade the practice.
Good Luck

Geting a skype online number

I would like to get a cordless skype phone but I dont know how it works for getting my phone number after. Preferably, I would like to keep my last home phone number. Can I choose my phone number or skype will get one for me? I tried to get a online number but I can't since it is not available in Canada.
Thank you for your answer.
Francis

Hello,
A Skype Number is an ordinary number that you can use for receiving calls on Skype from mobiles and landlines, even from people who are not on Skype.
Skype Numbers for German users are usually activated in 14 days. You can check your Skype Number by signing in your account to Skype website and click Skype Number block under Manage features.
When you purchase a Skype Number, we need you to provide us with your details such as contact information and address. In certain countries, including Germany, you also need to provide a proof of residence that is verified by the local authorities. If the verification is successful, we will get in touch with you soon after to confirm the activation of your Skype Number. If the verification is not successful, the activation of the Skype Number can fail.
If you’ve already been charged for your Skype Number and it is not activated within 14 days, you can click the link below to contact Skype Customer Support and one of our support representatives will be happy to help you get a refund for your payment:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/
After you’ve received a refund, you can try again to purchase a Skype Number. To successfully pass the verification process, make sure that all your details are correct. The verification process is handled by the local German authorities.
I hope this helps.

Can I buy out my contract to transfer phone number to company account?

Hello,
Currently I have a droid phone under contract with Verizon, and I am eligible for an upgrade in June, 2015, but can buy out of the contract for $180. I also am going to get a company phone for my job, but it is required that this be the iphone 6 and it can be either with Verizon or AT&T service. Ideally I would like to just transfer my number to my company account and use the iphone full time, but unfortunately it's not that simple.
Here are the options I've been informed I have:
1) Have the company take over my account for no cost, but the company would have to pay $649 for a new iphone since I'm not eligible for an upgrade, and I'm not sure I can get this added cost approved.
2) Get a separate company phone number and iphone that the company will buy for me (I think it will cost them $200). Not ideal because I would either lose my phone number or I would have to keep paying for my phone and carry 2 phones around.
Here's the option I want, but nobody can confirm it is possible:
3) I buy out my old contract for $180, then transfer the phone number to my company phone where I would get a new contract and a new iphone. I'd be fine paying the $180 out of my pocket since I'd make that up in savings in 3 months. I was on hold with customer service while 2 service people were debating whether or not this was possible, but after 15 minutes of dead air I had to leave to attend a work meeting, so I don't know if it's possible.
Here's the option I don't want to but may be forced to do:
4) Start a new contract with AT&T through my company and have my number ported over. I would then pay the $180 to Verizon to get me out of my obligation.
In case anyone has actually taken the time to read all this, here are my questions:
- Is Option #3 actually possible? Has anyone done it?
- Is Option #4 possible? If it is possible, wouldn't Verizon just prefer I do option #3.
- Are there any other options I'm not considering?
Thanks for any input you can give

Hello Kinquana,
Yes, I'm available for Early Edge upgrade, but from what I can tell it doesn't really offer my company any savings versus them just buying the iphone up front at full price, and it probably just creates complications for the IT department. Either way, it's an additional cost that I would have to get approved.
So it sounds like my best option is to just move my number to AT&T and cancel my verizon account? Seems like you would not want that to happen.
I do not have any issues with my current phone, but my company requires that I get an iphone due to compatibility with email and security.
Thanks for the quick response
