SkypeIn Tip - Getting a busy tone on new number?

Just checking a SkypeIn number, it seems callers were getting a busy tone.

To fix this, open up Skype and go to Tools, Options, then choose Privacy on the left hand side. Change the ‘Allow SkypeIn calls from’ setting to be ‘known numbers’, and Save. Go to Tools, Options and Privacy again, change it to ‘anyone’ and save.

Your SkypeIn number should now work.

  2. Got me close however I had to go into advanced and change each one to private and then back to public to get this to work. Thanks for the point in the right direction.
