Call Forwarding and Online Number combination?

[corybear87]

That's an excellent question the answer to which I am not entirely sure about. I simply entered Spain as the country I wanted to have a subscription to call, picked a package of minutes, and that was that.

Oh, yep.  You're right.  It's just for landlines.  Crap, I need to look a little more closely I guess.  Thanks for your help!

Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong then?  I need this tomorrow and its not working yet   Have bought subscription, then online number, then set it to forward to my mobile and the test calls I make to my online number keep going to Skype voicemail, not my forwaded number. 

Number is in the "Call forwarding" box, Voicemail is off, tried it online and offline   I've tried a Danish and UK number to forward to, and the online number is a UK 033 number.

(p.s. sorry if wrong forum, in which case please direct em to someone who can help )

Best wishes,

Mark

Can you please try calling your mobile using Skype Directly.

Normally there is a time period that the forwarded call will attempt to forward and after that time, if the forwarded call is not answered, then the call will go to Skype voicemail.

The is no way to stop this from happening, unless you are currently logged in using that Skype name and also have voicemail disabled.

Many thanks for reply! Well I tried that and it says I need a subscription, but I have a subscription paid for and being displayed in the Skype box. So I guess this is now a "why doesn't my subscription work?" question - I bought it a week ago

Ok, then this is the issue, the call is not being forwarded because you have no Skype credit and/or no subscription to cover calls to mobiles for the area the mobile is located in.

Can you check your subscription? If it is a limited minutes plan in many cases there are two types of this plan, one that covers landlines only and another that covers landlines and mobiles.

Also, other subscriptions only cover landlines in some areas.

I would like to ask if I've Call Forwarding and Online Number. Do I need to be Online (log-on to skype before call forwarding is possible?)

Is it true if I've gotten Unlimited World, the Call forwarding on skype will be free(if the caller call me through the Online Number I'd w Skype)?
