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.

  • I need Skype credit to receive calls on my Skype #?

    I just bought a Skype number for 12 months. I used to use Skype credit to make calls without number, but now that I have a number I can receive calls but I need Skype credit to receive calls to this number? I thought that I wouldn't need to since I paid for the number 12 months? Could someone enlighten me on this please?

    I want to be able to receive calls on my Skype people using their cell phone number not Skype.

    Your Skype number is used to receive calls, Skype credit are to make calls, they are not connected somehow, the only way this would happen is if you want to forward your calls, you have to pay for it somehow.

    So bottom line is no, you don't need credits to receive calls to a Skype number.

  • I need Skype credit to call a Skype number?

    After 8 minutes about Skype my Skype name several, the disconnected call and no reconnect because I 'need to get Skype credit to call this number.' But I use Skype to call. Is this normal? Is there a fee for a Skype user call a Skype number? TIA

    call a Skype Online number is call any other number of PSTN phone - you need Skype credit or a subscription adapted call

    In addition it usually makes no sense to use Skype to call a Skype number Online, because if you already know the name of associated number online Skype, you can call the user free already

  • Using a Skype number for working

    Hello

    I live in Italy and I work for a Dutch company. I'll have to call a large number of Dutch customers and they should be able to remember. It's very expensive to call with my phone to other countries, so I was thinking of using Skype for this. Of course, if I use Skype to call, I also want people to call me on Skype while I don't need to use my phone at all. That's why I read on the Skype number that seems a good idea. However, I have a few questions.
    1. I understand that does not allow the number of Skype to call, because you have to buy credits. I understand that, but my question is if buy Skype credit and I'm connected with my Skype number, when I call clients, they see my Skype number? It would be perfect if they can remember easily.

    I hope you can help me with this question.

    Kind regards
    Laura

    A number of Skype is for people to call you only and didn't need to make credit or any other subscription that I am aware, so you get your number Skype in Holland and they can contact you at the national rate rather than international rates.

    You can set up identification of the calling line, this "Caller ID" Skype call, you can use your Skype number in there, or your number of laptop if you want to receive texts, your choice, but be aware that some parts of the country, telecommunications companies and even individuals turn off this option isn't 100% that each person you are calling will see your number , but most.

    To make calls from phone numbers you need credits or a subscription, from what I've seen and developed, subscriptions work cheaper than the credits and the bigger the package you sub for best case, given you call another European country, I'd watch the landline and mobile phones Europe unlimited, but you can just get a package for the call of the Nederland , your choice, but if you pay every month it's more expensive to pay each year.

    If you have a subscription, you get a discount on your Skype number subscription, look the best deal for you.

    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Skype number

    Hi, I'm new to this thing of Skype sorry if I fall on mute.

    I have an Irish account and want to buy a number so people can call me. I want to receive calls mainly from the United Kingdom. Skype support says I have to bur a number... Certainly, it would be preferable to have a number of Irish that anyone can call using a number in the United Kingdom... people would think that I am in the United Kingdom.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The idea of a number of Skype is that people can call you using a local number for them. If the people you are calling from the United Kingdom, it therefore makes sense for you to get a Skype number. You can even choose the area code possible most local is people who will call you. This article explains how much it costs for people to call your Skype number.

    You can have up to 10 numbers from Skype, so you can choose an Irish number (for people who call you from the Ireland) and a United Kingdom number if you wish.

    Hope that helps

  • call someone without Skype

    I hope it's a simple question. I just buy credits to make voicecalls (not these free Skype to Skype video calls) to the United States. Next week I'll be in a foreign country. Is it as simple as I can make voicecalls of Skype to the United States, even if I call don't have Skype?

    And if so, I should dial the United States first, or simply the code precede regional and number?

    Thank you

    Hi Hazelhazel,

    You can use Skype credit to call landlines through Skype, send text messages, or to pay another Skype command such as subscriptions.

    To call a US number, dial the + 1 then, area code and phone number. You can also select the American flag since drop-down list of the keypad, then enter the tracking area code of the phone number.

    I hope this helps.

    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

    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.
