description Skype Number Overview
Skype Number allows users to have a local phone number in many countries that can be reached via the Skype app. It integrates perfectly with the existing Skype ecosystem, making it a natural choice for those who already use Skype for international calling. While it is primarily a voice-centric service, it provides a reliable way to receive calls from landlines and mobile phones globally without needing a physical SIM card or local hardware.
help Skype Number FAQ
What is a Skype Number?
A Skype Number is an online phone number that can receive calls through Skype-supported devices and apps. Availability, calling features, and number locations depend on the country and Microsoft's current offering.
Can a Skype Number receive calls from a normal phone?
Yes, a Skype Number is intended to let ordinary phone users call the assigned number while the recipient answers through Skype. It does not turn every Skype account into a mobile network line.
Can I choose a local area code with Skype Number?
In supported countries, Skype may offer numbers associated with selected cities or area codes. The available choices and purchase rules vary by location, so check the current Skype Number page for the destination country.
Is Skype Number the same as Skype Credit?
No. Skype Number is a number-rental service for inbound calling, while Skype Credit is used for certain paid calls and services. A number subscription does not automatically make all outbound calls free.
