Who can phone my online number?

I live in the South Island, New Zealand. The closest major city in the South Island is Christchurch and I can buy an online number starting with prefix 03. Can people from other regions of my country call me on my online number, for example from Auckland or Queenstown?
Solved!

I live in North Carolina, USA. My online number functions like a regular phone number. Anyone in the world can call (using the US country code as the initial prefix of course).
I have even set up call forwarding on my online number to ring directly to my cell phone.
I would imagine it works that same way where you are. 
Hope this helps!

  • RTX Dual Phone and Online Number

    I'm planning on getting RTX Dual Phone with an online number to replace my land line. The requirements specify Broadband Internet connection (I have DSL service and a router with open ports).
    The requirements also state 'landline operator subscription'. What does this mean? My objective was to replace the landline?
    The RTX dual phone package comes with 2 handsets. How many will it support and where do I buy extra handsets.
    Can I set Skype on my computer to the same online number, so that it rings when my computer is on.
    thx
    Visitor John

    Hi, If you buy a Skype phone and an online number anyone who calls it either from a landline, mobile or Skype ID, the phone will ring. If you are signed on on another device be it a computer or IPhone app all devices will ring. As long as the Skype phone is switched on and has Internet connection it will be online 24 x 7. If you need any more info please get in touch.

  • Does: home phone adapter + online number = ability...

    i have not found any information that says specifically that non-skype callers can call you via a home phone adapter or a Skype-ready cordless phone.  I know you can call out, but what about receiving calls?  Anyone here have a skype-ready cordless phone? 

    I'm also considering buying phone adapter.  And to get a phone # attached to it to be able to receive any regular call on the phone (not on the computer) - do I just get an online number - is there any other option?
    I did not find any related info in FAQs, etc.

  • Freetalk Office Phone & Skype Online Number

    When reviewing the product description for the Freetalk Office Phone, it was unclear to me whether or not the phone will work with your Skype Online Number.  For example, if someone calls my online number then will the Freetalk Office Phone ring??  Also if I call someone from the Freetalk Office Phone then will they see my Skype Online Number on the caller ID?
    Thanks!

    Skype does not provide toll-free numbers.  You would have to contact a provider of those services in your country, seeing if you can purchase a toll-free number that could forward calls to your Skype Online Number.  In many countries, this would be possible, but done separate from Skype. 
    Good luck!

  • Can't allocate Online Number

    Hi,
    I have three Skpe accounts for three different businesses.  I recently bought a new online number and Skype happily took my money without any real access to support.  i hope someone from skype actually reads these forums.
    Anyway, when I try to allocate the number I get this error message.
    Oops, something went wrong...
    We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes.
    Thank you.
    And it has done this for at least 4 days.  Please help.
    Michael

    And to make matters worse, rubbish chat support at Skype ended the 15 minute conversation before the matter was solved.  Total rubbish.  
    Skype make real customer support easily available again.

  • 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.

    If both of you use Skype on your devices (iPhones and PCs), you could simply call each other via Skype for free.  No need for anything else from Skype. 
    An Online Number is used by people on telephones to reach your Skype account.  Online Numbers are available in a couple dozen countries, including the UK.  After purchasing the Online Number, it costs you nothing to receive calls on that number with your Skype account.  For callers, it is either a free call, or it costs them however much to reach that number from their telephone provider.  A Skype To Go number is a way you can access Skype when you are not at your computer or device with a Skype app like your iPhone.  When you dial a Skype To Go number, you can either call from a short list of your contacts, or dial any international number.  You can use an Online Number with any Skype program or app - on a computer, smart phone, etc.

  • Online number available in Brazil?

    Hi,
    Im a frequent user of skype. I use skype credits to call my family in Brazil, I live in The Netherlands. Now I need to have a online number which they can call as well.
    I found an article on your website explaining what a Online Number means and the availability in other countries. What I don't understand is: the availability, does this means that you can order a online number if you live in this country or does it means that only those countries are able to call you on that number?
    The goal I want to achieve is that I have a Skype number which my family can call, using their (mobile) phone and that doesn't bring extra costs to them. 
    Extra info:
    - I use Skype on Windows, Linux, Android
    - Most of our calls are ±45 minutes
    - We call twice a month, top.
    Many thanks in advance.
    With kind regards,
    Roberto

    Unfortunately, Skype does not offer Online Numbers from Brazil.  You can see the list of countries where Skype has Online Numbers at the "Online Number" link at the bottom of this web page. 
    If you could get your family to use Skype in Brazil, then you could have free Skype calls, including one-on-one video calls, without having to use an Online Number or having them place international calls to reach you in Europe.

  • I wonder will online number suit my needs?

    I am a Chinese student and am going to Washington State, USA. soon.
    My needs:
    I don't plan to buy local mobile network's plans.
    I just want to use my laptop to make and receive calls from domestic US mobile numbers and landlines.
    if online number suits my needs, how much does it cost?
    if it doesn't, are there any other skype solutions? & how much does it cost?
    what about the unlimited world subscription of $13.99/month or the pay monthly subscription to calls in U.S?

    An Online Number would cost US$ 18/3 months, US$ 60/year, or - if you first purchase a subscription for calling telephones - US$ 30/year.  You can get an Online Number in Washington state. 
    To cover your calling to telephones, you can use Skype Credit or purchase a subscription.  If you only need to call telephones in the USA (landlines and mobiles), the Unlimited USA (or Unlimited USA & Canada) subscription at US$ 2.99/month is a good way to go.  The Unlimited World subscription would also cover calling to landlines and mobiles in the USA, but take a look at the list of countries and types of phones in those other countries first.  For most countries, the Unlimited World subscription only covers calling to landline phones - not mobiles.  But if you are only concerned with calling phones in the USA, go with the US-specific subscription.
    Another suggestion... set up your Skype account and make those purchases while you are in the US, or somewhere outside of China.  Then you are dealing directly with Skype, instead of having to go through Skype's Chinese partner.  That will probably work better for you in the long run.
    Good luck!

  • Online Number - Does it cost me per minute?

    I just signed up for 3 months of an online number (for something like $12).  When someone now calls me on this number, do I pay a per minute cost on top of the $12 for 3 months charge?  Or is the $12 the only charge?
    Thanks

    My experience is that Skype does not make additional per-minute charges to the person who has purchased the Online Number. Beware, however, that the person dialling the Online Number may be racking up unexpected charges on their phone bill. In the case of South Africa, the "local" number Skype provides looks like an ordinary local number but they are charged at such a high rate that it would be much cheaper to dial the USA directly, landline to landline, than to dial this "local number." This is quite apart from the price paid to Skype get a local number. I cannot understand why anyone would want this service, at least for dialling from South Africa. What the per-minute charges are in other countries, I have no idea. Skype doesn't put any information about it on their website.

  • Online number rejected - France

    Hello,
    I purchased an online number for 3 months yesterday night but then I received emails telling me my subscription wasn't accepted by the local authorities. Then another email, we Will keep trying, it Can take up to 6 hours... Then I read from your assistance page that for certain countries (such as France) you need to submit a justification of your home address (usually an electricity Bill or something like that). So i have plenty available but it doesn't specify anywhere in the assistance how you are supposed to send the justification or even show it to whom, when, where...?
    I didn't dare to cancel my number and try again because I paid already and I'm afraid to get debited several Times!
    Please help??
    Thanks,
    Sophie

    Hi Sophie,
    I tried to get also an 'Online Number'. I live in France, in the Aveyron, code 012.
    But i read that only regions 970 and 977, so the region around Paris, can get an Online Number.
    So i stopped tying to get one.
    Have you succeeded in getting one? 
    Please let me know.

    i put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this?

    You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage.  Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).  Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

    You can answer the calls from wherever you are logged into Skype.  This could be a computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc. that has the Skype program or app.
