Let them know you’re calling
Caller identification – show your number.
Caller identification lets your friends know you’re calling. You can show your number when calling landlines or mobiles from Skype.
Easy to set up.
Use your mobile number.
Or your online number so they can call you back and you answer in Skype.
Tired of being ignored?
Some people just don’t want to answer calls from a Withheld or Private number. You can avoid this happening by setting a number to show when calling your friends, family or co-workers phones from Skype. You can use your online number or mobile number. Now people can see who is calling them and pick up the call. Or, if you miss them they know who called.
Just a little reminder that when you make free Skype-to-Skype calls, the person you’re calling will see your Skype Name and not a number.
How much does it cost?
It’s free to set up Caller identification using your online number. To use your mobile number you’ll need a little Skype Credit to pay for the two SMS messages required to validate your numbers. You can use Skype Credit to make great value calls to landlines and mobiles all over the world. You can even send text messages directly from Skype with credit as well.
Where is Caller identification available?
Caller identification using your mobile number is available across the world (unfortunately the only current exceptions are Japan and Mexico). You can also assign your online number in these countries as well – Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Japan, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US.
