Using Skype number as caller ID

I have a skype number that works great. One question, the phone number people see on their caller i.d. is different than my number. How do I get my skype number to show up on someone's caller i.d.?

This depends on where your Online Number is located, as not all Online Numbers can be used for Caller ID. From my own 4 Online Numbers, I can use the numbers in the USA and UK as Caller ID, but not those from Australia or Mexico. Local/national regulations or limitations from Skype's partners providing those Online Numbers may be to blame, if your Online Number(s) can't be used as Caller ID.
To see if you can use that number as Caller ID, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site (click on the "Account" link at the top of this page). You should be able to go in and change your Caller ID settings once you get in. If your Online Number is eligible for use as Caller ID, you should see it as an option (or maybe the only option) when you get in there. If it can't be used, then your only option would be to use the two-step SMS verification process and set a mobile number as your Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype.
More info on the Caller ID stuff with Skype is available at the "Caller ID" link at the bottom of this page. Good luck!

Unable to set Skype Number as Caller ID despite su...

Hi there,
I have been trying in vein to set my new Skype number as caller ID for all my Skype calls. The reason I purchased a Skype number was for this reason. Depsite following the how to on this page "What is caller identification and how do I set it up?" my Skype number does not appear in the drop down menu when I follow all these steps ONLY my mobile number shows up. I am a little annoyed by this and I would not have paid for a Skype number had I know you can not actual assign this number to your caller ID. Maybe I am doing something wrong however, I am tech savvy enough to follow instructions and these don't help. I hope it is possible otherwise I feel I will need to seek my money back. Thanks in advance

i am in the same boat
just spent $24.00 for 3 months..
and found out that i can not use this number as my caller ID.
very annoyed

Ipad camera app not working after update 7.1.1 and using skype on video call

Hello,
i updated my mini ipad to ios 7.1.1
then i used skype for video call...
It worked fine for a few minutes then the front camera stopped working
Stopping skype and starting the camera app, i saw that the front camera was no more working...black screen
instead rear camera was working...
Then i tried to reset the device (pressing sleep and home button) and uninstalled skype
Now front camera works more or less, but the camera app seems always almost freezed, i cant change easily the options,
i cant record a video, only camera for snapshots is working...
any suggestion?
is it possible to uninstall the camera app and try to reinstall it?
Thanks!

Updating to iOS 7.1.2 doesnt solving problem at all, even my front camera also begin not working after I did that. Everything's OK when I using rear cam, but just freeze and blurred on screen while switched to the front cam. And have to resetting to go back to rear cam. My iPhone4's camera itself, rear and front, are in good performance before. And I've tried anything such as reset, hard reset, restoring, setting up as new device, etc, without any result since then. If some people say it was about hardware issued, I thing so weird because too many same hardware problems coincident happened at the same moment. So I just only hope the Apple will listening and solving all problems wisely. Thanks b4.

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!

Hi, I live in the US and will be calling friends and Family in the US. BUT I will be calling them from Spain. Can I use a US Skype #?

Hi, Grannyrosie, and welcome to the Community,
Please remember the purpose of a Skype Number is only for people to call you - a Skype Number is a fixed or land line number, and you answer the incoming calls on SKype. You would need a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit in order to place calls from Skype to fixed or land line numbers and mobile numbers.

Best way to use Skype number with phones/PC?

I am considering switching my home business phone to a Skype number. The ideal useage solution would be to be able use Skype on my PC while at my desk, and route to the phone (or my cell) at other times.
I see that you offer the FreeTalk Home adapter, and also Skype enabled phones, but it is not clear which combination of devices/services I need.
Advice on how to do accomplish this would be appreciated.
Thanks much.

If I take what you said in the first paragraph as what you want to do, there are ways to do that without buying a Skype-specific phone or that adapter. You would need to use Call Forwarding, pointing to a phone number that your Skype account would send unanswered calls to. You would need to either purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to cover calls to that phone number. For more than a handful of calls a month, a subscription would probably be the best (and cheapest) option. You could set the Call Forwarding to send calls to several numbers simultaneously, and then Skype would connect the call to the first phone from that list that answers the forwarded call.
If you have a mobile phone that can run a Skype app, you could also use that to be logged into Skype. You could be logged into Skype from both the computer and a mobile phone.

Is there any way I can use Skype Number with Viber...

Hello. With my Skype Number is there any way I can use it with Viber? So I give my Skype NUmber to a friend and they add me on Viber? Or do I have to divert my skype numebr to my actual number?

Hi, if you give your Skype number to your friend they can make a Viber Out call to that number if they have some viber credit. Calls to landlines are usually cheap but it depends where in the world your friend is calling from.
Have you got a Viber account too ? Viber to Viber over the Internet is free, like Skype to Skype being free. Persoanally I have both networks now.
Viber is on smartphones, some feature phones and there's a desktop app too. Your Viber account is based upon the mobile number you register and Viber recognises phone numbers of your contacts to see if they're registered on Viber too.

Using Skype number for America

Morning Skypers!
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have a Skype number here in the UK which allows clients to ring a landline number and I can answer in Skype. It works well and I'm very happy with it.
What I would like to do is set up another Skype number for the US. This way clients in the US, without Skype, can call a US number and get through to me inexpensively. What I'm looking for is some clarification on calling charges in the US as I know there are long distance costs which I'm trying to avoid. Which state should I set the number up in so the maximum number of clients in the US can call the number without paying long-distance charges?
If I'm barking up the wrong tree and it is the same price to call every state if you are a US citizen then let me know but I'm pretty sure it costs more for some states to call others.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

You can use a Skype ATA adapter like the Freetalk Connect Me. It's a standalone device that allows you to use your Skype account like a landline. I use it with my wireless DECT phone system and I'm pleased with the quality. It does not work or interact with Microsoft accounts, but is compatible with transitional Skype IDs.

Using skype number

I'm still a little confused as to using a Skype number. I signed up for one using my local area code. We are traveling to Costa Rica. Can my daughter just call that number (she is using the same local area code) from her cell phone (not on Skype) and it will be sent to us without any cost to either of us? Can I only answer it on my lap top without cost or can I also answer it on my cell phone down there through the Skype app? Does the cell phone carrier (Verizon) charge us for usage? Obviously I'm concerned about cell charges from Verizon and how to get around them for as little as possible. Thanks for any help that someone can provide.

Showing skype number on calls instead of unknown n...

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to show your skype number when you are calling people rather than having unknown number appear? I use my skype for work and I know a lot of people don't answer their phones if they see an unknown number so it would be helpful if I can remove this.

How to set up Touch to use Skype for phone calls?

I use Skype with my iMac for making phone calls and would like to do the same with my new iPod Touch. I've looked in the Touch User's Guide but have not been able to find a procedure for setting up the Touch to accomplish this. I would appreciate feedback on how to do this from those who are successfully using Skype with their Touch units. One thing I am curious about is whether I can sync my Touch with the Skype program--including phone numbers-- already present on my iMac.

Yes and no... you will have two versions of Skype on your computer, but one will only be appearing in iTunes and your iPod since they are two different app.
You can still have both Skype application open and loged into your account at the same with no problem. There is no special setup to do on your iPod more than login into your account and having credits into your account, exactly as you probably done with Skype on your computer.

My Skype number is calling people

Hi,
I got many complaints that my number is bothering people repeatedly for the last 2 weeks.
Is there something I can do?

I have the same problem. People call me back on my skype number and ask if I have called them, when I have not done so. Has anyone have any idea why this is happening?
