Our online number is not showing up when we make calls. Because of this many calls we make are not answered.

My number  is also not showing up on caller ids, I pay far to much money for this service considering others are free!!!!! This needs to be fixed asap.

I am having the same issue. When I first got my online number it was working fine.  About 2 weeks ago it stopped showing up and its just an unknown caller which many people dont answer.

Re: Online number is not showing up when I make a phone call.

Skype Customer Support doesn't monitor these community forums.  Other Skype users do.  Please keep that in mind, if you aren't getting answers to questions posted here.

 

Getting back to the question of Caller ID, one way to turn on Caller ID is to log into your account on the Skype web site.  You should see a link to Caller ID Settings, which is also at:

 

https://secure.skype.com/account/caller-id/settings

 

If you have certain Skype Online Numbers, you can select those numbers.  Numbers from some countries are not permiited as Caller ID.  If you have multiple numbers, Skype can use different numbers on Caller ID when calling those countries.  There is even a way to add a mobile number for your Caller ID when calling from Skype.

 

For me, I have online numbers in 4 countries (USA, Mexico, UK, Australia).  When I call from Skype, my default number for Caller ID is the USA number.  When calling the UK, my UK number shows up, and the USA number shows up for calls to any other place.

 

Hope that helps.....
