Features of Skype number USA overseas
Currently I have an active Skype number based in the United States. I can successfully make/receive calls in the USA (by my paid subscription)... excellent.
My question is, I'm going abroad and want to use Skype to communicate with relatives back home. They can just call my number Skype based in the United States and (as long as I have internet connection) it just does not sound as usual? My question is more people-oriented call me directly, I probably will not all outbound calls unless I need to.
Do I need a different subscription?
Hi, Neoflex5, and welcome to the community!
Such is the beauty of a certain number of Skype; Yes, you can receive calls wherever you are on the planet.
Your call outbbound costs must be covered by the credit or a subscription, however.
Kind regards
Elaine

How can I renew my Skype number?
How can I renew my Skype number I've read about this, but I don't have the opportunity to renew
Hello and welcome to the Skype community,
1. leave your Skype ID expire. You will not lose your number - it will be held on account for a reactivation for 90 days after the expiration date.
2. after expiry, visit your account page. You should be presented with a triangle with an exclamation point icon inside and be greeted with the message that your Skype number subscription has expired. Click on the link 'Reactivate' and go to 'renew '. Now you should be able to renew your number.

Questions about adding a Skype number
First timer here, here are my questions, I live in Thailand, former U.S. citizen, have for years had major problems with government agencies to reach me by phone. My billing address is in CA, my verified phone number is thai. I believe that with a Skype CA phone number I can eliminate these problems, correct? As the Government agencies and US automated banking systems cannot recognize a 11 digit number.
OK, so I did not have a first core of Galaxy attached to any diet, talk with a slot for sim card available. My intention is to buy a prepay sim for the available location local, and then add a Skype number. This Skype number wouldn't be usable wifi connected. A one year subscription is $52.25, but the site says nothing about other calling some how fees, or I've missed?
With the second sim with a Skype number, dedicated to the United States calls only, and I was able to differentiate between the two by which the sim was used to receive the call. I receive a message if a call was made for me if it is not connected to wifi?
Could I have the call transferred to my Thai number, if I were to buy call forwarding also?
I intend to wait until I have answers from the community before I do anything.
Thanks in advance for those who add their comments.
Hi, what you're trying to do is possible in principle, but you do not add the number of Skype to a SIM.
What happens, is that you install the Skype app on Google Store on your base premium Galaxy then receive calls and outgoing calls via the Skype in wifi or mobile data, if you add a local SIM card.
Check Skype calling subscriptions and distribution rates to the United States and the Thailand (subscriptions especially if you make a lot of calls or transfer calls to a number of Thai). If you buy a subscription or even 2 subscriptions (1 USA and 1 Thai) then you get a 50% discount when you buy a Skype number for 12 months, which is a good deal.
The application on your Galaxy will inform you of all the missed calls. I suggest you only install Skype on a PC too to see the full selection of purchase options in Tools/Options. You must configure the voicemail here and select this option to allow anyone to call your Skype number. Spend some time looking at all the options that are available to you.
You can transfer your Skype CA number to a number of Thai, if you wish and have a subscription or a credit to pay for it.
Perhaps start by installing Skype on your base premium Galaxy from the game store, sign in with your account and take a look at all the parameters available on the app. Setting most are in the app now except setting up voicemail that can be made on the program Skype on a PC.

Hello and welcome to the Skype community.
Yes you can. A Skype number travels with you, regardless of your location. Your account shows that you currently have. Your credit balance will be debited the cost of forwarded calls

Whenever my Skype number expires I will never get this super urgent email from Skype expiration day, sometimes after the expiration.
I understand - he made sure I don't have a lot of time looking for other suppliers, etc., but is really not good customer service.
Can I urge Skype to make this a little quicker renewal reminder, as on any other web subscription product out there?
Thank you
Chris

Hello
Yes you can.
You will need an Australian Skype number and (b) an unlimited subscription to USA/Canada @$2.99 / month or a little Skype credit to finance the cost of calls transferred.

Nuisance calls on my Skype number
Hello
I get calls/voice mails from people asking me to call if I have a certain person (which I am not) and back
These are people either charity or tax.
I got a U.S. Skype number but it is really annoying me, are Skype numbers recycled from previous owners? And if so, is it possible to request a new brand which no body used before?
Thanks in advance.
