My Skype Number has a problem

[jannettg]

Hello

I recently purchased a Skype number because I liked the idea that when I travel people don't have to dial a different number for me, as my number is forwarded via Skype.  Or something like that...anyway, I asked a friend to call me and it did not work.  I tried to call myself from my computer and it also did not work.

What is the problem here?  Can anyone suggest a solution.  

I am in the UK visiting from Colorado and therefore I purchased a Skype Denver number that everyone will get to call me.  I need it for business and therefore cannot afford to miss any important calls.  Please help as soon as you can.

Hello,

I have exactly the same difficulty as JannettG. I purchased an online number in July before moving to another country. No one can reach me with this phone number. Recommendations? Thank you.

First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
