Using skype on skype wifi while in Japan for calls...

I am subscribed to us and canada plan here in the U.S.
I always call Japanese number from here with skype to go number (U.S. number) and it will charge a couple of cents/minute.
If I take my iphone to Japan and call on skype wifi, does it still work the same (as far as the rate) or do I need japanese skype to go number because I'll be in Japan?
Of course, I'd have to pay for skype wifi but I think it's cheaper than buying it in japan.
I thought wherever I am, the subscription control the way it is charged.
Thanks.

When calling via Skype it matters only where you're calling to. It doesn't matter where you're calling from.
You may find Skype WiFi helpful as long as you understand it's to pay for not-for-free public wifi hotspots. If you have free wifi available you can still use your subscriptions and don't need Skype WiFi.

Using iPhone Safari via wifi while in Hong Kong

I will be in Hong Kong and will not need to use my iPhone as a phone while there (ie- I am not getting international roaming), but wonder if I can still use Safari and mail with a wifi connection at a hotspot in Hong Kong- like you would a laptop?
Thanks!

Yes you certainly can with no data charges but visual voicemail is downloaded to the iPhone via the cellular network only so even with data roaming off, this will not prevent the download of visual voicemail messages nor will it prevent you from receiving an SMS which is charged extra but you may not exchange SMS with anyone.
The only way to ensure no data charges whatsoever is by removing the iPhone's SIM card and placing it in a safe place which won't prevent you from accessing the internet via Wi-Fi.

Skype lists my phone number as Canada for call for...

No matter what I do it shows my number as a Canadian phon number. It is a US based number. The little flag in front of the number is the Canadian flag, I change it to USA and save. I go back in and it is Canada again.

I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

Error while scheduling report for SAP users

Hi All,
We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi All,
Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
Thanks,
Chandra

Lync Client uses wrong RTP Ports for calls from/to RGS with Agent Anonymity

We have QoS implemented and client ports for audio, video und application defined by Set-CsConferencingConfiguration. We also use firewalls in our LAN between the different VLANs for Clients, Servers and Gateways/SBC. Only RTP from the client with the defined
ports are allowed by the firewall. Media ByPass is enabled.
In all normal cases, the right ports will be used and marked by GPO with the right DSCP value. But if an agent get a call from a RGS which has agent anonymity enabled, the client uses a port in the range 1024-65535 for audio. Also if you make a call on behalf
of the RGS, the client use a random port between 1024-65535. As soon, as the source of the call is in another VLAN (e.g. a call from PSTN which comes in over a SBC in e separate VLAN), the firewall between the two VLANs block the RTP traffic.
We see the deny on the firewall log and in the SBC log we see, the reinvite for the media by pass with the IP of the agent and a not valid port. We also see, that no RTP from the client/agent will arrive the SBC and no RTP from the SBC will arrive the client/agent.
So the call will be disconnected, as soon as an agent wants accept the call.
Is there an additional setting to make sure, the Lync client always use the valid RTP port range?
This behavior exist in Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients.

Hi Holger,
Thanks for reply!
Sure! I set all AudioPorts on all Services, but the problem are not the ports used by the server, the problem are the ports used by the client. We set the client ports to 49152 with a count of 40. The client (2013 and also 2010) use these ports correctly in all
cases exept for call from/on behalf of an RGS with Agent Anonymity.
If we disable the RGS agent anonymity, restart the client of the agent, then the client uses also the correct source ports for RTP.
I've checked this behaviour now on 3 customer installations, our own productive installation and in our lab.
Because until now only one of our customers have firewalls between the internal VLANs, only this single customer have the issues...

Stephan

Skype disconnects my Wifi every time I use video.

Skype disconnects my Wifi every time I use video. About a minute or so after using video as opposed to just voice my Internet connection fails. Little red X telling my home network dosen't exist. I have to use the diagnose problems feature to get it back and sometimes that dosent even work. Shutting down my wifi card is a pretty extreme glitch. I have no other connection issues, have 30+mbps and run a pretty standard setup: Firefox windows 7 etc. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Skype doesn't attack Internet connections. It doesn't do anything abnormal that your computer/network shouldn't be able to handle. If you Internet connection is failing the issue lies either in your router, your line, or locally on your computer due to lack of resources/power when using simultaneous devices in your computer (audio, video, wireless card all being USB based). If it's only related to the wireless card then it's going to be a USB resource (USB bandwidth/power) or driver issue. Distance is also a consideration if it can't sustain a connection so you can always try to move closer to your wireless router to see if it makes any difference.
You need to isolate the issue to one of the things I mentioned above. Try wired instead of wireless, try to bypass the router, or disable uPnP in Skype or your router as it may have issues with it.

IPhone 4 reboots while using apps like Skype, Where's My water, Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds Space etc..

My iPhone 4 reboots while using apps like
Skype, Where's My water, Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds Space etc...
I already tried reformatting my phone.. Erased all content and settings.. And still the same..
BTW my phone runs on latest iOS 5.1

Restore as a New phone. Do not restore your backup. Add your apps back. If the problem still exists you have a hardware problem. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup.
This assumes your phone is not jailbroken. If it is all bets are off.

Using Laptop to Skype to Skype while in Germany to...

I will be bringing my laptop with me on a trip to Germany. The resort I am staying at has in room WiFi. Will I be able to Skype to Skype via laptops Germany to the USA?
If so, what do I need, if anything? I have a Skype account and my boyfriend has his Skype account.
Thank you.
Vivus!

I guess I should provide more info to make the question more clear. I would like to time sprints (never more than one lap). The key would be some type of hardware accessory that would turn on the stopwatch at the 'start' and some time of switch to stop the stopwatch at the 'finish'. That way the boy/girl could time themselves. That's my goal. To allow the kids to time themselves each day at practice when they do they 40 yard sprint. I was thinking of a switch under their foot that activates when they step/lift their foot. Another alternative would be a light beam that "switches" when the beam is broken.
Any ideas?

Using mobile with Skype

If I use SKYPE with my mobile phone- will it be using my cell phone's minutes and charged the local rate.
If I use SKYPE to go on my Cell will the same minutes charge apply when calling and using my USA subscription $2.99 mo.

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.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Skype works with WiFi but not with 3G

I have a Sony Xperia M, Andriod 4.3 and the last version of Skype. Skype runs perfectly with WiFI but when I turn it off it gets offline with my 3G. While other apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, etc work well, Skype is logged in but offline: I can't send or recieve messages or calls and I see all my contacts but I can't see who's online. A friend has Sony Xperia M2 with Android 4.4 and is having the same problem with his 4G connection.
What can I do?
Note: Clearing data, as it has been suggested in other posts, doesn't work.

I have the same issue with a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Do I need BOTH Skype and Skype WIFI apps for my iphone?

it was stated, the difference is with skype wifi, you can use your credit you bought on skype to pay for wifi access in hotels, etc.
therefore you don't need skype wifi if you have infetnet or free wifi.
what is so hard to understand?

That's how I understood the answer. Using the 'normal' Skype app you can use 3G or WiFi (depending on my settings). If WiFi access needs to be paid for (on a train, through a hotel, etc.), it often comes in minimum 1 hour blocks, in which case Skype WiFi allows you to access WiFi just for the duration of the Skype call, providing you have sufficient Skype credit.There are two reasons why you might want to do this: (a) even though you might have your phone service set to 'Roaming', calls in or out might not work (happens to me all the time in the Middle East); and (b) you only pay for your actual call time. Whether that represents overall value for money depends on Skype call rates versus the 1-hour charge from the train, hotel, etc., so that element is worth checking.As to 'most WiFI hotspots being free', that may be true for much of urban Europe and the US, but it's not true for large parts of the rest of the world.

My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!); who do I complain to?

There is nowhere in the skype menu an address to file a complaint!!!! this is a serious issue... My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!); who do I complain to?

Hi, Psalamon, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact customer service to request assistance with this.
Also, when you say, "My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!),"
... please note that the Skype Number will not "ring busy" - if you are using Skype, incoming calls would be diverted according to your Tools -> Options settings. The Skype Number provides a phone number for people to reach you, but the number has nothing to do with outbound calls you place.
Hope this makes sense!
Regards,
Elaine

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.
