I've been having an ongoing problem for months now where incoming calls don't ring through and instead go straight to email. People who call say it doesn't even ring on their end, it just goes to voicemail. I know at these times I'm connected to the internet and Skype is up and running (often I'll be waiting for their call). I've even tested it before with my cellphone, calling my own number to make sure I'm online and signed in, and it will go straight to voicemail. It doesn't always do this, however. Some days it seems that every call rings through just fine and other days no one can get in touch me. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

Check the Privacy settings in your Skype program. Make sure you allow calls from anyone on the Online Numbers.

What is your voicemail setting set to? Maybe it's set to pick up after a few seconds. Go to
* Tools
* Options
* Calls
* Call Forwarding
Check this area and see if you can find the problem here.

I double checked to make sure and it is set to allow calls from anyone.

I have no call forwarding options selected. It's set to receive unanswered calls as voice messages unless answered in 15 seconds.

I have only been on this service a week and I am having the same problem. Everything is set correctly but all calls go straight to voicemail. And when I leave a test voicemail, it doesn't show up anywhere. All connections are solid.

Similar issue here- although it works if I'm signed in on my laptop, it goes to voicemail if I'm signed in on my Iphone.

With regard to my last post about it only working on the laptop and not the iphone, i forcibly closed the app and restarted it. It worked after that.

Have the same problem... the outline number is working.. after few hours, voicemail is activated while i'm still online..... no call interrupt from he application.. to indicate someone is trying to connect. (Mac & Windows apps) What's wrong?
