My Online number does not ring

[Kimiya]

I've recently set up a on line number but no one can call me throug out this number.

what noboy seems to be saying is that this setting is TWO places, one is hidden.

In the privacy settings

Tools >> Options >> "Allow Calls from anyone" and "Allow calls to my Skype number(s) from..)

BUT ALSO

in the

Tools >> Options >> Calls >> Call Settings >> Show advanced setting

That last setting was what sorted this busy/engaged tone issue for me

Mine was working well about 2 months ago as well, and I only really noticed the problem recently, as I don't receive many calls. The issue seems to resolve itself for roughly 30 minutes up to an hour after logging off and on. I would guess that some update to skype or the skype servers has caused online numbers to break. It's pretty frustrating as I don't have access to a normal phone. I should note that call forwarding works just fine, but the Skype client never rings.

I found this thread via Google search.  I too am having a similar issue.

I have an online number that is setup to forward to my mobile phone after 12 seconds.

The problem is that calls to my online number are automatically forwarding to my mobile without ringing on my Mac first.  This happens sporatically, but seems to be happening more often lately.

Same thing is happening on my Xoom, in fact it will not log voice messages or any calls unless if log out then log back in. I get email notices though. Never happen before my renewal of subscription.

I do not have a tools menu item you must be on a M$ computer, my mac or xoom does not have 'tools'.

I'm also having the same problem that everyone here is having. Is there another service, e.g. Google Chat, that offers online numbers, but more reliable than skype?

The solution is very simple if you have an IMac, iPad, or iPhone.

1. Make sure your iPad has iOS 6.1.3 (also update iMac and iPhone.

2. Go to settings/General, then scroll down to "Use side Switch to."

3. Uncheck "Mute."

4. Check "Lock Rotation."

In the latest software update you have to select how the side switch (Volume control) works.

Happy Skype converstaions.
