Transfer Packet8 Number to Skype?

I have had a Packet8 phone number for years and would like to transfer it to my account. Packet8 is similar to Vonage. Can I do this? I have a skypein (or skypeout I forget which it's called) phone number on the account - I just want to add this additional Packet8 number.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. Packet8 says they can transfer it out - so it's just a matter of whether you can accept it.

Hi, Claywd,
Skype Number 
Instead of porting a number into Skype, start a Skype Number subscription.
Anticipating your next question, a few caveats to be aware of so you can make an informed decision: while you can take out up to ten (10) Skype Number subscriptions per Skype account, call forwarding and voice mail function for the Skype account itself, not each individual Skype Number.  What people tend to do who require a facility to separate voice mail and call forwarding for each Skype Number is to start a new Skype account for each Skype Number they need.  The FAQ articles related to Skype Numbers remind us that Skype Numbers can not accept incoming SMS messages; these are routed to a mobile phone number instead.
There may be other Skype-compatible add-ons as noted in the post, above, however I confess I have not researched anything like this lately.

Elaine

  • 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.

  • Transfer Skype number from Skype to British Teleco...

    If I were to use a Skype number and use it for six months. After this time I wanted to use BT instead of Skype could I transfer my number from Skype to BT?
    I have contacted BT and they said I will need a PAC code from Skype to transfer the number over. Is this a service Skype are able to provide?

  • 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.

  • Port number from Skype to At&t?? Prior Success but...

    I do not understand and am frustrated. I recently acquired/purchased a second landline number since the process of porting out a number from skype to AT&T was completed at a prior time successfully (a year or two ago).
    I now am hindered in this process due to ATT saying they recently received a memo which disables them to proceed. Something about Skype's telecom partner no longer allowing international ports or something.
    I called Verizon and they said this was possible for them and they would go ahead with the process.. I do not want to switch providers for a number but would like clarity. Anyone knowledgeable with this process and current/new policy?? I purchased the number for this specific reason.

    Alright ... well, you may have lost your former number. You should have simply submitted your information to activate your iPhone and that act alone would have closed your Verizon account and transferred your number. So if you somehow believed you had to close your Verizon account before activating your iPhone then, in essence, you gave your phone number back to Verizon to release to a new Verizon customer.
    Which is probably why your getting the message that there is no number to transfer. My advice: Accept your fate, re-activate and take a new number.
    I say this because I transferred over from T-Mobile. In fact, I bought six iPhones all together (one for each of my employees) and they had accounts with different service providers (Sprint, Verizon, Metro, etc.). Two employees did as you did and we lost the numbers.
    For those we didn't lose - the only trouble we ran into was failing to insert the the account information exactly as it appeared on our billing statements. If it was all in caps and we went back and put re-input all in caps then the activation and number transferred. If we let off our suite number or if it was shown as # or STE then when we provided that just as it appeared on the statement, the transfer went through.
    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

  • DRQ:Credit Note not based on invoice should transfer reference number to JE

    according to SAP business one system behavior, only those credit notes that based on invoices are able to transfer customer/vendor reference no. field value to reference 2 field in journal entry. I would like to propose to enable AP credit note that is not based on invoice to transfer reference number field to JE as well.

    Even if it is possible, you would be better split the amount to individual credit note.  I have no idea why you need to split line in one credit note.

  • Transfer Order number for Production order

    Hi,
    what is the best way to get the transfer order number (LTAK-TANUM) for picking for a production order?
    Picking can occur first in IM (via MB1A for example) or in WM (via LP10). Requirement Tracking Number cannot be used as it has only a length of 10 characters (production order number up to 12 characters).
    Reservation number (LTAK-RSNUM) is only filled in case picking is done from IM first.
    Cheers
    Mathias

    Hi,
    how are other companies handling this if they want to pick from the warehouse (e.g. using CO27) for a production order and the production order number has 12 characters? The bin (LTAP-VLPLA) and the requirement number (LTAK-BENUM) only have up to 10 characters.
    Is there a standard way in SAP to print out the complete 12 character number on the picking list? I could not find another field where the production order number appears.
    P.S. There are already some production order types in use that have a number range with 12 characters.
    Cheers

  • Transfer Order number in MSEG table

    Hi,
    I am a Technical team member and while preparing Technical Specification for a Report I came accross a problem that when we do a PGI the Transfer Order field in the table MSEG does not get updated.
    My requirement is to get the Transfer Order number from the Material document, and I don't understand why this field isn't getting updated in MSEG table with reference Transfer order when one does a PGI.
    Please let me know if there is any configuration I need to check with so that I can go with this info to my Functional team.
    Appreciate your help in this regard.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Saleem.

    Hi Saleem
    In MSEG you can find TR number (MSEG-TBNUM). Take MBLNR from MSEG and pass into LTAK table. There you can find TO Number (LTAK-TANUM)
    Hope it helps

  • Can I just transfer my number?

    I've wanted an iPhone since before I even had my iPod Touch, but I don't want to pay for a data plan. I'm not going to use it-I'll use wifi whenever I need internet if I can connect.  I know Verizon Wireless wont sell one to you without upgrading your plan, but what if I get it somewhere besides the Verizon store?
    So, my question is: If buy an iPhone from Amazon or where ever, can I simply transfer my number from my current cellphone (Samsung Bright-side on Verizon) over to an iPhone without a data plan? Will that work? Will it not work until I do get a plan or something?

    When you attempt to activate the phone on Verizon, they will see it is an iPhone and will require you to add a data plan. No way around it.

    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!
