UK mobile to call Australia mobile using Skype-to-...

Hiya, Im totally new to Skype-to-go and wanted to check something...
I'm in the UK with a UK registered mobile and want to call my husband who is in Australia with an Aussie mobile...when I went to set up a Skype-to-go number it said I should make sure the phone I was registering (my UK mobile) was in the same country as the number I wanted to call (my husband's aussie mobile) otherwise I would inccur roaming chargers...is this right or have I misunderstood? Please help!
Thanks, Em

Your phone needs to be registered in the same country as the Skype To Go number you want to call, not the final destination number (e.g. the Aussie number). You don't have to worry as there are UK Skype To Go numbers with various different area codes. Since you have a UK mobile it doesn't really matter which area code you pick as the call rates / free minutes usage when calling the Skype To Go number is the same.

Caller identification while using Skype Number

Hi, I live in Canada and set up a Skype Number locates in HongKong to make my friends call me more easily. But soon I found that I could not identify who is the caller when someone is calling my Skype Number.
For instant,
When I log off the Skype App and use "Call Forward" function of Skype, if someone calls my HK's Skype Number, it always displays "+10000123456" and I cannot know who is the caller except I pickup the phone.
While if I run the Skype App in the backgourd of my cell phone, and someone calls my Skype Number, the skype app will pop up but only shows "Unknow Number"
Could you give me some advice to solve this problem?
Thanks

There may not be much that can be done. Caller ID from the telephone network to your Skype Number is controlled by the telephone carrier(s) where your Skype Number is located (Hong Kong). Not all carriers in all countries send Caller ID information to the Skype Number. When your friends in Hong Kong call each other on their phones, do they see the Caller ID information on those calls? This may not help your situation when receiving calls on your Skype number, but would at least verify that your friends' phones are sending the Caller ID information out when they call someone.
Good luck!

Do I need a special 'phone or will any mobile do?
Many thanks

Cant call mobile phones using Skype in Serbia

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
My parents are currently in Serbia and they are using Skype. They have 30€ of credit on their Skype account and use it to call numbers outside of Serbia. Now, this works without problems for landlines (e.g. in Germany) but it doesnt work for mobile phones (also in Germany). Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
Kind regards,

I have a UK Skype number that will ring in the office or on a laptop when I'm online - if I'm not online it diverts to my mobile. I realise that I pay for this forwarded call - at the moment through my Skype Credit but can I get this charge inclusive by buying a premium account or a subscription?
yes, as long as the calling plan you choose supports calls to your mobile (not all subscriptions support mobile numbers)

Can I Use Skype Free Minutes From a Mobile Phone

Can you use Skype free minutes (provided with Office365) to call FROM a mobile phone? When I check the free minutes online, I see that they are active on my Skype account, but my Android mobile app does not show any Skype credit?

If your iPad Mini is a cellular model, you can use Skype (and buy a block of minutes). If only wireless, you can also use Skype on a wireless connection. It saved the day when I forgot my iPhone and needed to make a call. Skype sells phone numbers, but I've never gone that route.

Traveling abroad and want to use skype on my mobil...

I will be traveling abroad to Costa Rica and Nicaragua and taking my mobile phone with me. I will be able to use my phone to connect to the internet whenever wi-fi is available. I will not be able to use my phone for regular calling. So, I want to know if I can make calls through skype using my phone as long as I am connected to the internet through wi-fi? My calls will be to regular landlines or mobiles, not to skype numbers. I will therefore add skype credit once I know that I will be able to call.
Thank you

I can understand how this might happen but I think you posted in the wrong forum...if you're planning on using free wifi sites. Skype wi-fi is to pay for service in hotspots where wifi isn't free. See this link for an explanation:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/skype-wifi/
In any case, yes, if you have wifi service, free or paid, Skype on your phone, and credits available, you can call landlines or mobiles with Skype. The rate for the calls will depend on the country you're callling. You can see the rates here:

Hello
1. You have a different issue. No two issues are ever the same - too many variables.
2. As you are both on Skype just call Skype-to-Skype. Your calls are free worldwide.

Cabbit use skype credit to dial landline and mobile

I have been using Skype for over 10 years, and work internationally, so it really comes in handy for me , escept when I have poor WIFI,,,, I use it on desktop and my Iphone,,,, This week my account was suspended for suspicious activity and I was forced to submit information to reactivate and change my password,,, now that I went through all that, I still cannot dial landline and mobile phones although I have 35$ credit showing on my account,,,I have not been told why the account was suspended in the frst place,,, and now I am travelling and cannot even use it ,,,, I am very dissappointed at the process and difficulty to contact anyone who can reactivate my service... Any other service that suspects suspicious activity would simply inform me by my known email,, and resent verification link to the email to initiate a reset,,, but instead,, microsoft goes through an extended automated process, while the customer is forced to sit and wait,, then doesnt even know in the end why the problem started in the first place,,, I am slowly migrating away from microsoft,, and this is just another reason why,,,,

You should be able to change payment method to Skype Credit.
Try this first:
1) Go https://secure.skype.com/account/call-phones/packages
2) Open your subscription Settings
3) Click on Change payment method
4) Add another payment method -> Skype Credit
Once you have done this it should look something like this:

First off, are you on a Verizon or an Alltel plan? With that what PRL is your phone using?
I wonder if you were connecting to a former Alltel tower that somehow still thinks it an Alltel tower or your phone thought it was an Alltel tower. Either way the Skype app could have not gotten the right message or code that "Yes, you are on Verizon. Please continue connecting". BTW There is no basis to this thought just past experience with issues with merged areas.
If anything , I hope this give you some ideas.

Computerised call from PC to a mobile using java applets

i want to know whether it is possible to make a call from PC to mobile using java applets. Please give me a correct reply with proof.

The situation is like this.
We are transfering the JAR file from the PC to the Mobile using Bluetooth.
Our J2ME project is already install on Nokia's 6600 and given to the salesman's on the field. Now i have updated my software and i want to upgrade the same on their mobiles. For this i can't call all the 2000 salesman's who are all over the country (India) to my place to get the latest software installed and configure.
If i have a GPRS like solution for transfering my file from my PC to the remote mobile. I would be better. If you know any this related to this kindly reply me.

Using Skype Mobile while traveling in Europe

I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate with Skype installed. I have bought credits.
I will soon be traveling to Belgium and France. I have been told by Verizon that my phone will not work in Europe. However, when my husband talked to a representative from Skype, he was told that, with the Skype credits, we would be able to use our phone in Europe.... Please explain the discrepancy in what we were told by the two representatives from the 2 companies.
If there is something special we have to do in order to use our phone in Europe, please let us know what it is.
Thank you

--- At the risk of sounding technologically uninformed I don't understand the acronyms you used for phone compatibility in Europe. I have an unused iPhone 4 I had AT&T "unlock" for me (I understand there's no real way to check stateside whether the unlock process was actually successful, but I'll go with the assumption it worked for now) BTW AT&T website provides a form you submit and they'll reply within 48 hrs. Took 3 hrs for me, I assume because I have another phone under contract with them, so no harm no foul for them.
--- Anyway ... I visited various blogs trying to find out the best process to acquire a SIM card for France. It's complicated as the saying goes. So I googled the question what about Skype?
--- I use Skype-to-Go from US to call Europe. Very cool, they provide a local # I dial and it connects me for little cost. Calling cell phones is pricyer than landlines. I can use Skype-to-Go from ANYWHERE in the US on one of three authorized phones.
--- My question is: Is there a similar process FROM Europe to US?
--- Can I use the Skype App to dial a phone in the US from the existing AT&T US iPhone without incurring roaming charges- and if YES, HOW?
OR Can I use my old unlocked iPhone with a SIM card from France to call US and Euro #s? if yes which provider do you recommend? Preferrable one purchased in US so it is pre-authorized and ready to go upon arrival.
OR do I need to use the iPad camera-driven Skype function that requires previous arrangments to ensure that the recipient is at her computer also?
--- The subtle differences have never been clear to me ...
Thank you!

Travel to Japan and use Skype to call AT&T calling...

Hi,
I'm going on a business trip to Travel later this year and I'm looking for a best way to make some personal business calls during that time. My company already provides me AT&T Calling Card for daily business operation while I'm in my home country(now) and I can later reimburse the fee. Since I will stay in Japan for just a month, apply for a mobile/landline number there seems not practical to me. I just checked AT&T website and know my calling card should be available in Japan but I'm wondering if I can use Skype to call these Japan numbers? I took it a try here(outside of Japan) to call AT&T Japan calling card number but it got disconnect with 0 sec duration. I know it may because I don't have any Skype Credit balance but I don't want to risk my money to buy it and then find it's impossible to call in this way. Any idea?
In short: Can I call AT&T calling card Japan access number by Skype?

Hello,
As far as Skype is concerned the answer is "yes". You can call virtually any # worldwide with Skype Credit.
p.s. You have been flagged for posting duplicates on different boards. As this contravenes Skype policy please avoid.

Harassment phone calls using Skype function (i.e. ...

Note: I have sent an e-mail to the Support Team. Pending reply.
Based on call history, my home and mobile numbers have been bombarded by phone calls (using Skype) from Skype user, who resides in another country.
For example
Time: 02:20 till 22:33
30-Aug-2012, home number received 15 calls and mobile number received 27.
Time: 00:00 till 22:20
31-Aug-2012, home number received 44 calls and mobile number received 90.
Time: 11:46 till 23:54
01-Sep-2012, home number received 04 calls and mobile number received 33.
Note: The harassment calls started since Oct-2010. I had discovered these harassment calls were made by this Skype user. I am able to provide call history made by this Skype user from Mar-2012 till Sep-2012.
This is a serious violation of the Skype's Terms of Service. Please investigate and take appropriate actions against this issue. Your quick response is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a similar problem. I recently reinstated Skype on my iPad. I am able to sign in, to check my profile page and to check on my credit (I have about $30 US on it). But, I am unable to bring up a dial pad, nor a phone logo. I should add, I do have another copy of Skype on my iPad, under a different spelling of my name, that works perfectly well. I want to be able to contact to Skype using the re-instated account (which I had created earlier in error) so as to use up the existing credit, as I've learned that I can't combine the two accounts. What can I do? Can anything be done?
