  • 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.

  • What's the cost of transferring your phone number?

    I'm considering purchasing an iphone, as my treo700p is terrible. I have Verizon and would like to bring my phone number with me, but I just found out it could cost a couple hundred dollars. Has anyone with verizon out there done this?

    I switched from Verizon to AT&T 3-4 months prior to the iPhone's release. I had a year remaining on my contract at the time but Verizon released me from my contract without charging me the $175 early contract termination fee due to poor reception issues at my house. Verizon wasn't obligated to do so since no cellular provider is responsible for reception inside the walls of your residence or within any building but since I use my personal cell phone in place of a landline at home and I had been a Verizon subscriber since the summer of 2001, they granted me an exception but doing so is the exception rather then the rule.
    If you remain under contract with Verizon and port your Verizon number over to AT&T, this will cancel your contract and Verizon charges a $175 early contract termination fee.
    How many months do you have remaining on your contract? If less than 6 months or so, you can get a new phone number with AT&T for an iPhone and keep your Verizon contract and phone number. When your contract with Verizon expires, you can call AT&T to have your Verizon number ported/transferred to your iPhone replacing the new number acquired with AT&T for the iPhone. There is no charge for this and the number porting process by AT&T will cancel your service with Verizon automatically. Verizon will send your final bill after your Verizon number is activated with the iPhone.
    Or you must wait until your contract with Verizon expires.

  • Transferring Blocked Phone Number List from Android to Apple Iphone

    I had multiple callers blocked using Mr. Number on an Android cell phone. Is there a way to transfer that list of blocked callers to Apple Iphone IOS7 without having to enter each phone number manually?

    NO.

  • Transferring phone number from AT&T to Verizon

    So I'm a previous AT&T customer and just activated my iPhone 4S with Verizon this morning.  I am still not able to receive texts/calls from anyone that is not a Verizon customer.  Is this normal for transferring a phone number into Verizon?  I have activated my phone 4 hours ago.
    Thanks for any info.

    It's been a while since I switched to Verizon from AT&T, but that doesn't seem normal and I know I didn't have that problem. It'll probably be a pain in the neck, but you might want to call customer service.

  • Lumia 510 - My Phone Number

    Hello. I have successfully transferred my phone number to my new Lumia 510 and all is working well. However under Settings - Phone - Call Settings - My Phone Number it still shows the original phone number allocated to the phone SIM at point of sale. My provider (Tesco Mobile in UK) says this can not be changed manually but could offer no other help. Is there a way to change the number to the correct number I have ported across (from the same provider but from normal SIM on PAYG to micro SIM on Pay Monthly)? Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks. Alan

    I remember the same thing happening with me when I switched from T-Mobile to Tesco a few years back. I don't remember if it righted itself or not.
    More recently I took out a plan on Orange and "switched" to EE. The number that was in the micro SIM that came with the Lumia 920 was obviously different from my "real" number after it had been ported to the new network. Since then it set itself to the new, ported number.
    Updates are sent to your SIM periodically. My theory is that my new number was programmed into the SIM in one of those updates, and the chances are that the same thing will happen to yours eventually, but I couldn't tell you when.

  • Multiple contacts with same phone number

    I have multiple contacts with the same phone number.  Skype will not permit the creation of a second contact with the same phone number.

    I have the same problem with my contacts.
    I have one external phone number and then use extensions for their desks. I want to embed the extension number in the contact name and use the common phone number. 
    Any ideas or solutions?
    Thanks

  • Number for skype support

    I need a phone number for skype customer support.

    When will we be able to use the Skype supplied number for CID (Caller ID) in Australia?
    I've been trying to get a straight answer for this for over 3 years.  The closest I had was that the system can only verify the owner of a number by sending an SMS to it.  Well, if Skype supplies the number in the first place they already have me validated!
    Given that a mobile number can be used in Australia already why can't the Skype number be put into place? 
    Can a moderator or support staff please comment here?
    Thank you.  Daymo.

  • Edit contact phone number

    One of my contacts changed her phone number, but Skype 6.-whatever won't let me remove the now wrong information.  I can add all the numbers I want, but I need to drop the incorrect phone number, and it won't let me.

    To whom it may concern.
    I inserted new phone numbers into few contacts on my list.
    These phone numbers are now obsolete, so I want to edit them with new ones; the contact person did not insert them at all. I can insert any number I want but cannot remove them. By the way, Skype has an option to Add phone number, why do not you provide an option to Remove phone number, it looks obvious. Skype is a very good product to use on the go, I like it very much, but when it comes to editing or changing contacts, removing old messages, it is a nightmare. Again, “removing old messages is another problem too. You can hide them but not remove/delete. Why isn't it friendlier with these two regards? More intuitive, I would say.
    For their own reasons (whatever they may be), Skype doesn't provide the ability to delete messages from your history beyond deleting the history itself.  In regards to editing/deleting numbers that still works fine for me as seen in this video.

  • Subscription Phone Number Question

    I could use your help. I have a real phone number through Skype and a US/Canada unlimited subscription. I will be traveling in South America for a few weeks and wanted to know if I will be able to send/receive calls on my Skype number without any additional charges event though I will not physically be in the US. 
    I do want to clarify that I live in the US full time and am not trying to scam the system. I just need to know if there will be any additional charges on receiving/placing calls for the few weeks I am gone.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Normally, her new phone will be activated with her existing number and you will have to have the old phone activated with a different number (including the $30/month data plan). I just went through this process, I bought a 3GS and gave my 3G to one of my kids.

  • Cannot verify my USA mobile phone number

    Hi there, 
    I've tried on a couple of ocassions to verify my USA mobile phone number with skype. I put the full number (including the +1 country code) and try to send the verification code to myself but it never arrives. I've tried this on a couple of ocassions over the last three months but no luck so far. 
    Any advice? 
    Thanks!

    Try the following... 
    1 Startup Skype on your device.
    2. Dial your US Skype phone number with any ordinairy phone line or cellphone.
    If you phone number is connected you skype connection on your device will start ringing.  Don't forget to switch on the sound level you you are able to hear it or when you use a headset or earphone put the on.
    If you hear you skype ringing you know its working.  As long you are not answering the phone on your device you call is free.  I Use a USA phone number for more the 7 years and never had any problems.  So good luck and have fun.

  • Purchased a phone number from the wrong Skype acco...

    Hi,
    I understand that you'd like to transfer your mistakenly purchased product from one Skype account to another. Unfortunately, transferring any services is not possible.  
    Moreover, if you wish to be refunded for your payment, please contact our Customer Support directly through this link: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1170
    Hope this helps.
