How do I change my caller ID to a number that is not my skype number?
Thanks!

Hey no wonder, it's The Fantastic Microsoft. Don't expect the fix any time soon. I have been waiting for the support representative for an hour to ask, apparently they're very busy *****

When I call someone a different number appears to ...

Specifically, the number is 661-748-0240, which appears to be some kind of scam number. I changed my caller ID yesterday, and it was working for a little while but after a few hours was showing the wrong number again.

Unable to change Calling Features

We upgraded our phone and broadband this week and as a result Privacy at Home/Caller Disply is no longer active on our phone line.
When I try to change this online I get a screen saying 'Sorry there has been a technical error'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

How can i change the phone number on my ipod to a different number

how can i change my phone number on my ipod to a different number than my i phone

Only by getting a different iPhone and using your Apple ID for Messages/FaceTime on your iPod. The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number for Messages and FaceTimeT if the Apple ID used for those services on the iPad is also used on a Phone witrh iOS 6 or later.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

Hello Luis,
To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland. I found an article with the steps to update this:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

HT1311 My phone number shows a different number in the contacts page instead of mine,how do I change it?

My phone number shows a different number in the contacts my number section. How do I change it as I cannot even load airtime

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

TS4079 Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new numb

Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/. . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

HT4623 The apple ID on my Iphone 5 is different from the ID on my computer or my itunes ID.   I am unable to change the iphone ID. Thanks

The apple ID on my iphone 5 is different from the ID on my computer, my iTunes and Apple account.   I am unable to change the Apple ID on my pone even with syncing to the computer and itunes.    Thanks.

Rudegar,
     I appreciate your advice.    I followed your instructions and it changed.   I am grateful for the insight.
Thanks

Hello, I have been unable to activate my new iphone 6. When I call the activation phone number it just says terms and conditions have been accepted on this account. Please help.

I have been unable to activate my new iphone 6. When I call the activation phone number it just says terms and conditions have been accepted on this account. Please help.

Same thing here. I love how they include this nice and easy to follow guide in the box and the KEY step for activation (the phone call) is a total fail. To verizon: the automated just says Terms and Conditions have been accepted for this number. Press 1 to enter another phone number in the order. Well, I HAD NO other phone number in my order. The message gives no other options. She repeats the same line 3 more times and after the 3rd time, it says please hold while we transfer you, call may be monitored etc. Guess what, its 2 am ET and customer service is closed?
Do you guys expect thousands of iphone customers to speak to a CSR just to activate? Why not just let us do it online? I have activated plenty of phones even LTE phones, online. Now I'm going to have to compete with the other 30,000 people who ran into this same problem overnight tomorrow on the phone....

Caller I'd shows different number

I renewed my number for the 3rd time and after the most recent renewal it shows up as a completely different number on caller ID by my info says it's the same number. No one will answer my calls because of this. What is going on?

I'd like to see an answer for this too please. My area code is 505 for SkypeIn number, yet shows up as area code 667.
This really detracts form an otherwise perfect service.

Unable to change status in messages

Hey guys,
Okay, so I am unable to change my status in messages or do anything for that matter.
My friends messages app looks different then mine and she actually has more options then me. It will not let me set to online status or anything, it's like disabled and I cannot figure it out. Also when I send a message from my mac, it will say my email when my friend recieves the message but then if I send it from my iphone it says my number, so it starts two different conversations.
This is annoying and when I called tech support they had no idea what I was talking about.
Any smart apple users out there

The new Messages app in Mountain Lion has two aspects. It integrates most of the features of the old iChat program (using AOL and Jabber transport mechanisms among others, which include the concept of on/offline status) with Apple's new iMessage transport mechanism (which doesn't).
Your phone-to-phone message are probably going through yet a third transport mechanism, SMS. You can set your phone to use iMessage transport to eligible recipients by going to Settings > Messages, turning iMessage to "ON", and including your AppleID (~email address) in "Receive At" along with your phone number.
We are told that when iOS6 is released this fall it may help combine the multiple conversations. It is not yet clear how.

Unable to change my mobile phone# displayed on out...

Hi folks,
Having moved to Japan from Australia, I've tried a few times to (verify and) change my mobile# displayed as the sender on SMSs I send. Verification DOES take place successfully (ie "Options -> IM & SMS -> SMS Settings -> Verify a different mobile phone number") but I'm unable to actually make this new number replace my old number in "My mobile phone number." In fact, I've just now sent a test SMS to my mobile and the sending mobile phone number displayed on the SMS is neither my old number nor my new number... it's some altogether different number! Any ideas? Thanks!

I confirm that I can replicate this issue. Namely:
In the Skype Application:
'SMS Settings -> verify your mobile phone number' will send a verification code which will be received by the phone (Carrier: NTT Docomo).
The received code will work in Skype. Confirmation message: "The code worked, your mobile number has been verified. However, the phone number will not appear in the drop down list.
On the Skype Profile page:
Clicking 'Verify my number' raises error: an internal error occurred.
When selecting 'Caller ID', Japan (and Mexico) are not displayed in the drop down list.
Skype Technical support and I troubleshot (troubleshooted?) including deleting the shared.xml file. However, this did not fix. We concluded that this is a problem with specific carriers. No ETA on fix.
Hopefully this helps you not waste your time and, if you plan on coming to Japan, arrange alternatives.

Unable to change volume iOS6

Hello,
I upgraded to iOS6 tonight on my 4s via wifi and noticed that I am unable to change the volume of music/calls/ringer/videos via the volume buttons and the volume slider does not appear in the music or video apps..I am aware that a similar issue is caused by a buildup of dust in the universal port but these functions were working fine before updating.
I've checked the restrictions part in General and volume limit has not been enabled)
Declan

POSSIBLE FIX
I phoned my voicemail number (I had not made calls since updating) and played around with the call volume)
After hanging up, I have full use of the volume buttons/music player and video slider
I hope this helps some people and if not, don't give up your search for a fix

Can I receive multiple calls on a skype number at ...

I am trying to work out if a skype number is working for our business.
If a call is coming in and is taken via skype by a staff member, can we receive another call? Basically having multiple calls to one skype number at the same time, picked up by different staff members via skype.
If this is not possible, what other options are there?
