Will US Skype # work in Japan?

Hello - I am traveling to Japan next week and trying to make it easy for friends in the US to reach me. If I purchase a US Skype # (NYC specifically) for $18/mos, will my US friends be able to reach me on it when I'm in Japan, or do I need to buy a Japan Skype #?

Unfortunately, no. Japan has a network all their own. I believe they have booths in the airports that allow you to rent devices.

Will Orginal IPHONE work in Japan?

My Husband is in Japan and currently uses softbank as his carrier.
I plan to give my original iPhone to him when I leave the US on vacation to see him. Will Softbank be able to activate my old iPhone for him?

Only 3G phones work in Japan and Korea so your old iphone wont work.
Depending where you live, your phone may be locked to your original carrier as well.

Will skype work aboard a cruise ship

Will skype work aboard a cruise ship if you have purchased the wi-fi package on the cruise?
Say you have the US call package will it work during a cruise to Hawaii?

Hi, Sfcass, and welcome to the Community,
Actually, no, there is not. Call ahead to ask! Cruise ships and ocean liners employ their own satellite systems that often cannot support the bandwidth needed by Skype to work properly.

Elaine

Will iphone 4 work japan

Will it work in Japan, or does it lack the required 2100 band?
thanks

It should but the voice and data roaming will be hideously expensive. Contact AT&T for rates.

Skype works, iChat doesn't (error -8) -- Why oh why?

My brother and I had been using both the audio and video features of iChat AV3 with audio for long-distance (US to Japan) communications flawlessly until about a week ago. Neither of us had changed any of our configurations; it was working fine last Thursday evening, and then wasn't working at all following morning.
We keep getting the mysterious error -8.
We've been troubleshooting this for most of the past week. We turned our firewalls off. We reconfigured the port settings. We reconfigured our routers. Nothing works. We can connect to each other using the iChat text-messenging feature, but not the audio or video.
However, both of us CAN connect to the Apple iChat AV test site (appleu3test01) without any difficulty. We never get the error -8 when trying to connect to that. The video loop displays perfectly.
This morning, after pretty much giving up on iChat, we decided to try Skype. However, we figured it wouldn't work either, since iChat doesn't work.
To our amazement, Skype worked perfectly.
What gives? Why can't we use iChat audio but Skype just works?
Oh, and to add insult to injury, we both paid $99 for a dot-Mac subscription so we could use dot-Mac accounts with iChat.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
GeeKay

My daughter has a -8 problem with her Mac Book, no audio or video. She is using a Airport Express with no router and her ISP is using Motorola's Canopy wireless ISP technology.
So when I called Applecare they had me do multiple things, nothing worked. Then the tech said to verify the MacBook doesn't have a problem hook directly into the ethernet from the ISP. Haven't done that yet but will this weekend.
Any suggestions out there

Airport Extreme Skype works, but not mail or Safari? Port issue?

So I have a weird issue with my AE.
Often the internet will just go away...Safari will not work, iChat will not work and mail will not work. Today when it happened I noticed Skype was still logged in and working. I hadn't noticed this previously since I just this week installed Skype. When I am having an issue with my MacBookPro the MacBook in the house also has the same issue so it can't be my computer.
I also don't think its comcast because of the whole Skype working fine thing. Also when I "borrow" someone elses wifi connection everything works...mail works, Safari, etc...
So it must be something with my Airport Extreme. The only thing I can think of is some port issue. The AE has the lastest firmware from a month ago or so...
This tends to happen about once a week for a few hours and then it suddenly gets better for no apparent reason. The AE is in a cabinet in the entertainment center so it gets a bit warm in there sometimes but this morning it was pretty cool in the house and it still did it so I don't think its heat related...
Any other thoughts?

naw i'm back in the states now so it's pretty much no longer an issue. thanks though! If you know anything about mirror agent and logout issues you could look at my other question in using mac OSX Tiger called "mirror agent & failed logout -- HELP!"
thanks!!

IChat won't do video conf outside the house. . .Skype works . .Help!

When I try to do a video conference between my home Imac and my Macbook and am in my house it works great. However, I don't really need it for this. . .when on a business trip (or even a neighbors house) I cannot connect. I usually get the #8 error about communications error. Both systems can connect to the test IDs and conference fine and I can do a conference in my house over either wired or wireless.
I tried Skype and it works anywhere but the quality is not as good as IChat (audio - hear weird bells).
Anway, I have look over lots of docs and not sure what to do. here is my setup.
Verizon FIOS. .D-Link Router DI-604 with 4 ports (one for each mac, one for printer, and one for wireless router).
This is frustrating. . don't understand why Skype works every time but IChat won't as soon as one of my machines is outside the home network but the test calls all work.
Help!

Hi Adam,
Umm
Questions I would ask if it were your end at home.
How have you got the ports opened in the Modem for iChat ?
I can not see in these pics that it has UPnP which would allow multiple computers
You will need to do Triggering to allow multiple computers to use the same ports. Use the Instructions on that link for method.
They show look a bit like this Linksys but is seems you can add several single ports together rather than the Linksys one at a time and group method.
<hr>
If you have a setting similar to the above that works at home but not away from it I would go to iChat Preferences > Accounts > Sever Settings tab and change the port form 5190 to 443 (this not only help with login in some cases but also with A/V chats).
If this does not help then tell us what settings you have on your Mac
Firewall On/Off ?
Ports set in Firewall ?
Protocols used ?

Get a UK Skype number from Japan

Hello,
Is it possible to get a UK skype number from Japan?
If it is possible, can I use this number to be displayed when I call Japanese customers?
(eg. they see a number something like, +44 xxx xxx)

Ok not got an RTX myself but have looked at them.
I presume you have got the RTX connected to your network via ethernet and also to the Spanish land line connected too. Sign into your Skype account on the RTX, I presume you have some calling credit on your Skype account.
Your RTX will ring on whichever incoming number that has been called, either the Spanish line or your Skype UK number.
Check the calling rates page for costs to call the UK. https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling. Open up the rates to United Kingdom, then check the Pay as You Go rates and select "view all PAYG rates". That will open up a tab with all the PAYG rates to the UK including mobiles and special numbers. Note that there is a connection charge too. General charges are 1.8p/min + 3.1p connection fee to landlines and 7.6p/min + 5.6p connection charge to UK mobiles
If you find yourself making a lot of UK calls then a subscription might give better value, but note there are two types of subscriptions, one type is only to UK landlines and the other is to UK landlines and mobiles.

Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

If your phone is officially unlocked, you can purchase a pre-paid sim from SoftBank & it will work just fine. If not officially unlocked, it will still work, but cost a small fortune as you'll be roaming. You'd have to setup International Provisioning with Orange before you went to Japan if your phone is not officially unlocked.

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.
