Re: Wrong 'from' number when sending SMS texts using Skype on iPhone

I have my Skype on iPhone "caller ID" set up (via the website) so when I call from skype to a cell phone my preferred number shows up.  But if I send SMS to that same phone a random number is shown as the sender. In they Skype app the "Skype Number" field shows "Not Active".

 

So something is not working.

Re: Wrong 'from' number when sending SMS texts using Skype on iPhone

Thanks for your advice, I shall join the community spamming contactus@skype.net

My phone is registered in Finland, so the number starts with +358. Since recently the persons receiving my SMS see that they come from +44, that is Great Britain. What is even more funny is that the number following +44 is different every time. Clearly people cannot know that I sent the SMS and they cannot reply.

Re: Wrong 'from' number when sending SMS texts using Skype on iPhone

Has anyone had a response from Skype regarding this.

I purchased a number and it doesn't display when I call people and an old, deleted number now displays as the number sms messages are being sent from.

A teensie bit rubbish folks!!!!!
