The word is out, Skype is migrating to Microsoft Teams May 5, 2025. If you’ve been holding onto that special Skype number for ages, and want to keep it without moving it over to Teams, you’re in the right place! In most cases, you CAN port (transfer) your Skype number over to NumberBarn!
The best part is that with NumberBarn parking and forwarding you get phone number flexibility to enhance the way you use that valuable Skype number.
Store your Skype Number with Number Parking
Not sure what exactly you want to do with your Skype number yet, but just know you want to keep it? Consider porting it to NumberBarn and parking it for however long you need, for just $2 a month.
With NumberBarn parking, you still get access to features like Call Logs and can even put an Outbound Voice Greeting on your number for callers to know you’ve parked your number and any alternate way you’d like them to reach you (or anything you want them to know for that matter).
Call Forwarding for the Win
With NumberBarn’s call forwarding plans, you can forward that Skype number directly to your cell phone like any other incoming call and your caller won’t see that it’s been forwarded.
This allows you to keep Skype calls and personal calls separate, but still answer from your mobile when on the go.
Of course, you can also use the NumberBarn mobile app or make calls directly from your desktop browser. Take advantage of included features like auto attendant menus (Press 1 to…) to really maximize your Skype number options for callers.
Phone Number Flexibility
And guess what? There’s no contracts, commitments or cancellation fees with NumberBarn, so you’re welcome to keep your Skype phone number with NumberBarn for as long or short as you like.
Want to port it from NumberBarn somewhere else? We won’t stop you. In fact, we’ll even help. Nobody loves complicated phone carrier situations so we’re always happy to help get you in the right place with your phone numbers and phone number management.
Port In Your Skype Number
Unlike “regular” ports into NumberBarn, porting in a Skype number involves just a couple key (and easy) differences. Here’s exactly how to port your number to NumberBarn! (Don’t be intimidated by phrases like “rate centers.” They’re not as crucial in the case of Skype numbers, so it’s better to start your port request as soon as possible to accommodate the May 5th deadline.)
Plenty of people have already entrusted us with their Skype numbers, so we know the low-down. Begin your port-in today & don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team with any questions you have.
