Using my old 3 mobile number as a skype number.

I would like to use my old mobile number as my skype contact number. Is this possible via transfering the number from 3 to skype ? Theywere the last provider to use it but it may have been transfered from optus to 3 many years ago. I don't have an account with 3 anymore and not sure of the status of my old mobile number. Thanks for any assistance on this question.

You wouldn't be able to transfer that mobile number to Skype. You could purchase an Online Number from Skype. Click on "Online Number" below for more details.
Since you mentioned Optus, are you in Australia? If so, Skype has Online Numbers in Canberra, all mainland state capitals, plus other areas in the eastern states (Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland) outside the state capitals. No numbers are available in Tasmania or the Northern Territory. These numbers would be landline numbers. I have a Melbourne number (03 9xxx xxxx), along with numbers in 3 other places.
Hope that helps!

Can I forward my UK mobile calls to a Skype Number...

Hi
I am moving to France for 6 mths and want to forward all UK mobile calls to a Skype number. I want to know will my clients realise I am abroad? will there be a foreign ring tone and will they get charged a premium rate?
Ideally I want them to call my mobile and seamlessly be transfered to my skype number and not be charged any extra.
Do I need to buy a UK or French Skype number?
Any help of comments would be most useful.

Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up a mac desktop and if I delete it will it affect the memory of my system which has now Maverics

Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up all my data and having it able to get at in case of a crash, or can the icloud reset everything? Because I can not find any structured refrence, as to how it would be done. I am updated to Maverics. Also does the icloud continue if I uninstall the backup to free up space?

MobileMe was discontinued in 2012 and all the data stored on it was deleted, and iCloud can't make backups of Macs.
What I recommend you to make backups is to get an external drive and use Time Machine or an application like Carbon Copy Cloner. With this, you can access to your data everywhere and safely, and then, if you want, use a cloud storage service like CrashPlan. You can keep on using iCloud without backups

I need a 01255 number for a Skype Number, if not, what is the closest one to Essex

Skype does not provide a telephone call center facility. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal, which is where you will need to start: Contact Customer Service
You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely match the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

Can the Skype online number use my old mobile num...

Hello, I want to demand a french on line number on Skype. But I have a french mobile number en France, and I used this number for 3 years. Right now I will go to another countries for 1 year, is it possible, when I demand a Skype on line number, Skype use my old number to be the on line number? Thank you!

Well, the number and account information are stored on the SIM card. You might need to check with them to tell them you are going to use a different phone, but normally you don't have to. That is the great thing about GSM and SIM cards. You just change out the SIM. I do not know, however if they require different plan information with an iPhone. Some carriers do.

HT5554 Can I use my old mobile number for my iPhone?

I want to use my old T-mobile phone number for my new iPhone 5 and I was wondering if this is possible. I don't really want to add all my contacts again as this is time consuming and I don't really have time to do that at the moment. The iPhone has this option to change the phone number and I wanted to know what this meant and if i can just enter my old phone number there and all my contacts would appear. Both my iPhone and my old Samsung phone use the same T-mobile tariff. Can someone help me?

Calls not being forwarded to skype number

Hello, I have had my Skype number for 2 years now and never had a problem.However since end of November 2012 calls from the USA are no longer being forwarded to my cellphone in Germany.No , I have not changed my settings , why should I , since it has been working perfectly all these years.There is no way to get help from Skype and I am extremely frustrated with their service.It sucks to pay for a product that won´t work.I am a dissatisfied customer and will leave them if they do not straighten out their stuff.

Hello, I have been a SKYPE user for the past 5 years and everything has been working fine. Recently, calls from telephones to my skype number are not being forwarded to my designated number. I've tried to turn off and on forwarding feature but still not working. Calls from other skype contacts using skype calling me are forwarded but not from any landline or mobile contacts calling my skype number.
What happens when you call your Online Number?
If calls directly from other Skype users are being forwarded to your designated number, but not the calls made to your Online Number, call-forwarding appears to be working. You may have a different issue related to your Online Number. Has it expired? If you click on "Account" at the top of this page, you can verify that your Online Number is still in effect by clicking on "Online Number" once you log into your Skype account through that link.
If your Online Number is still in effect, here's something else to check. From a computer (not the Skype app on a mobile phone or other device), can you verify the Privacy setting for Online Numbers? It should be set to allow calls from anywhere. If not, it is possible that this setting was changed, preventing you from getting calls on the Online Number.

Making calls with Skype Number

First I was wondering if you need wifi to use a Skype Number?
Secondly, how much would it cost to make out-going calls using the Skype Number (would I need Skype credits)?
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, 761w. and welcome to the Community,
Let us start by clearing up some confusion: a Skype Number is for incoming calls only. The sole purpose of having a Skype Number is to permit people who do not use Skype to call you using a real land line number, so you can receive their call on Skype. More about Skype Numbers here: Skype number
So, a Skype Number is not related in any way to calls placed to fixed or land lines or mobile numbers. You are correct; you will need to purchase credit or a subscription to cover the cost of these calls.
You are welcome!
Best regards,
Elaine

Will USA VPN Work for Skype Number while in Playa ...

We just moved to Playa del Carmen and unfortuntely there is no area code for this part of the country. We do have a VPN that runs out of California. Since this the case could we use a California area code for our skype number and people will be able to reach us.
Thanks.
Jasmin & Matt

Hi, Jasmin and Matt, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, you could start a Skype Number subscription using a California number, however the VPN does not come into play or matter: remember, a Skype Number is a fixed line (land line) number. You can answer calls that people place to your Skype Number regardless of your physical location at the moment.
In other words, if most of your friends and family are in California, it would make sense to have a Skype Number closest to their location so they incur little or no toll charges when they call your Skype Number.

Elaine

Skype Number wants me to buy credit

There's no real support here oin any language. If there is, they've hid the connection very well. They only get to you if you post a public complaint. AND I AM POSTING A PUBLIC COMPLAINT.!!
I have a subscription. I have a skype phone number plan thing. I npay money every month yet every time i try to call anyone, skype wants me to by credit. They want my friends to by credit to caqll me. No matter what kind of plan you get, they demand more and more credit!!! Go with majic jack and be done with it.
I was in the focus groups on skype when it began and they haqve been working deligently on how to nickle and dime you to death as their only mission in business.
Post transferred to Features: Skype Number message board;
subject/title edited accordingly.

Hi, David_Guilmette,
Please allow me to clarify this one important detail:
A Skype Number is a fixed line number subscription which has only one purpose: to permit you to receive calls on Skype from people who do not use Skype; they call you using this fixed line number.
A Skype Number does not support outbound calling in any way. You would indeed need a Buy Skype credit or a Skype subscription in order to cover the costs of outbound calls.
You mention that you have a subscription; please do check that the number you are attempting to call is covered by your subscription. In other words, you would be asked to cover the costs of the call you are trying to place using Skype Credit if that number is not included in the subscription you have.

Elaine

if i have a US Skype number, can I be called in canada and elsewhere?

Yes: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/online-number
"The number that reaches you – wherever you are"
"An Online Number (also called Skype number) is a number anyone can call you on from their mobile or landline - and you answer on Skype, no matter where you are. And with every Online Number you also get voicemail included. Then when family and friends call your Online Number and you're unavailable, they simply leave a message which you can listen to the next time you sign in to Skype."

Hi, Brabus-v12, and welcome to the Community,
A Skype Number can not receive reply SMS messages. While you may send SMS messages from Skype, and have your mobile number or your Skype Number shown as your caller ID, reply SMS messages will be received by your mobile device. More details about this appear here in these FAQ articles:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA331/what-is-a-skype-number
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA675/i-have-a-problem-with-sms-text-messages-in-skype
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3591/sending-sms-text-messages-windows-desktop "The person you sent the SMS text message to won’t be able to reply you on Skype. However, you can change your settings to receive SMS text messages on your mobile. To do so, select Tools > Options… > IM & SMS > SMS Settings and enter and verify your mobile number."

Elaine

A Skype Number is a different subscription from purchasing credit; you would have to check on the offerings available if credit is "bundled" with a Skype Number purchase or not. I do not believe it is. Credit is credit; there is no "discounted" rate. Check the Skype subscription website pages to see if purchasing a subscription could discount the cost of a Skype Number.

Your second two questions are related to Caller ID. More details about how this works can be found in this library of FAQ articles: https://support.skype.com/en/category/CALLER_IDENTIFICATION/
Caller ID is tricky; sometimes it works and sometimes the data does not get transmitted as the call is routed from Skype to one or more carriers before the call reaches its destination. For best success, be sure your Skype Number is set in your on-line account details as your Caller ID. What ultimately appears for the ID on the call recipient's side ultimately depends upon the carrier. For more details about this, check posts by Community contributor WD9EWK.
Since a Skype Number is a fixed line number, there is no indication that the number is a "Skype Number" or a "fixed line" number.

Elaine

Skype number is about to expire

Hello,
Skype number is about to expire and I can't renew the subscription.
Skrill account is giving me headaches - It takes $1 from my account and then nothing happens.
What should I do?
Thanks!

I've been searching for a solution for literally hours.
The easiest solution is to just move your Skype number to another company.
This message thread explains explicitly how to do it.
