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.
Regards,
Elaine

  • Support for Skype Number Calling ID Australia

    Hi there
    So I was wondering if there will be any support for skype number calling id in the future in australia. It is quite frustrating not having any support for ksype calling id in australia. Was wondering when support will become availible. I'm sure many of you are also feeling my pain. You pay enough for the number so you should be able to have the number as the out going caller id.
    Thanks.

    When will we be able to use the Skype supplied number for CID (Caller ID) in Australia?
    I've been trying to get a straight answer for this for over 3 years.  The closest I had was that the system can only verify the owner of a number by sending an SMS to it.  Well, if Skype supplies the number in the first place they already have me validated!
    Given that a mobile number can be used in Australia already why can't the Skype number be put into place? 
    Can a moderator or support staff please comment here?
    Thank you.  Daymo.

  • How can I pay for skype number for one year

    How can I pay for skype number for one year? 

    Hi, Orzo.Coffee, and welcome to the Community,
    I realize what I am about to write sounds a bit weird: to change the term of a Skype Number subscription, we need to permit it to expire, or in other words, reach the end of its term.  Your Skype Number will be held on account for you for 90 days following the expiration date, so you can sign in even on the same day you receive the e-mail stating your Skype Number subscription has expired, to reinstate the subscription and change the term.
    I had to ensure I had enough credit on account so my renewal would process successfully; if you plan to renew for a year and use credit for your payment method, remember to add enough credit to cover the cost of the annual subscription.  You could also change your payment method at the time you reinstate/renew your Skype Number subscription.
    Make sense?
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Can I use US Skype number while out of the country

    I would like to be able to forward my work phone to a local US skype number and answer while traveling out of the country. Is this possible?
    If not, how would I do this?

    Yes, you can use a US Skype Number while you're out of the country.
    Even if you're overseas your friends and relatives can call your US Skype Number at local rates. When they want to call you, simply sign in to Skype and answer the call when it rings – and you pay nothing to answer the call.

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

  • Speakers not working for Skype only on Windows 8.1

    My speakers or headphones are not working for Skype desktop but work fine for any music or videos or other programms. Any help to resolve it? in Tools>Options>Audio Settings> headphones does not show up. Everything was working fine but it just happend a day before., i havent installed any program that could make problem.

    This is very strange because, as you are saying this happened without any change to any software on your computer. I suggest the following:
    1. To help the team analyze the issue, provide logs as described in this link  under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post.
    2. As an interim solution you can try using a virtual audio device that will be a middle man between skype and your physical audio device.

  • Camera is not working for Skype in Mac OS Maverics

  • HT201335 Will AirPlay mirroring work for watching TV episodes from the Internet?

    Will AirPlay mirroring work for watching TV episodes from a television network's website that we have up on the iPad/iPhone/computer or is it just for iTunes?
    We're contemplating canceling our cable and using Apple TV solely.  if it will do that, it sounds like a good option for us.

    If your Mac is 2011 or newer and you install OS X Mountain Lion on it, you will be able to mirror your screen to the AppleTV. DVD playback won´t work.
    Airplay Mirroring compatible Macs:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    More info: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    As for your iOS devices it depends on the player app being used to play the video. Some players will let you stream the video to your AppleTV others won't. For example, the YouTube player will allow it, but the Netflix player won`t.

    Hi lammyrock,
    I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.
