SkypeIn Germany
By
Jaanus on November 16, 2005 in Skype Beta and new releases.
SkypeIn numbers are now available in Germany -- finally, after a relatively long quiet period, we get a new SkypeIn country! Yay.
To get it, just go to our [web store](http://www.skype.com/go/store), click on "SkypeIn (BETA)" and pick Germany from the list of countries.

SkypeIn Germany numbers have been on sale for less than 24 hours, but they're already quite popular and we see numbers in many areas being sold.
SkypeIn Germany functions a bit differently from other SkypeIn countries. First, you cannot pick your own number, the system assigns it to you automatically. Second, you have to be a German resident and can get a number only in the area where you live. It might sound restrictive, but we had to make it work this way to get Germany launched in the first place. We've had a LOT of interest in German numbers and I know there are now a lot of happy Skype and SkypeIn users in Germany.
France now works a bit like Germany too -- you have to be a French resident to get a French SkypeIn number (but you can pick your own number in France).
So if you live in Germany, head on to our [web store](http://www.skype.com/go/store) and get your SkypeIn number right away among the first. If you have any comments, questions or problems, our [Customer Support](http://support.skype.com) is always there for you and happy to help.

@liquidblaze:

Nice addon, but i am still waiting like the others for the Netherlands numbers, i hope you get them soon.

Congratulations, for getting SkypeIn numbers for Germany. This is awesome...Dankeschön! Though, I may add a future enhancement you want to look into; so called 032 numbers (or +49-32...VoIP reserved numbers), because this will not restrict the user to a fixed area and/or she will be able to chose a number without the regulatory overhead.

Is Skype going to offer Italian exchange numbers?
Other Voip services, such as Lingo, already offer this feature. I hope Skype will consider adding soon Italian numbers to SkpyeIn.

I was about to sign up for a German Skypein. Too bad you need to be a German citizen. German legislation I guess. I hope the legislation is changed for citizen within European Union. Well, at least I can use SkypeOut to call my german Freundin.
Keep up the good work!

It is really great to see the number of SkypeIn countries growing. But the only one I'm really interested in is Canada, more specifically Toronto numbers. It would be so great to be able to give out a Toronto number and very frustrating that I cannot use Skype for it yet. I really hope that some time in the near future Skype can offer Canadian numbers; I know I’m not the only one who wants one.
gullinbrusti | Tuesday, Nov 22

Hi,
I think the evidence is clear, there is definitely a large enough demand for canadian skypeln numbers. The question is, why do we not have one yet?

Now SkypeIn Germany is no longer available on this page https://secure.skype.com/store/skypein/start.html, is there a way to solve this?
akaleparrain_1 | Sunday, Jan 6
I live in Canada, and I would love to have a Montreal Skypeln number. What is Skype waiting for?
I mean, free calls to Canada and the US but no skypeln is offered in Canada, what is the deal here?
How does that make sense?
As I can make calls with my wifi phone, I would also like to receive calls from people who are not using Skype.
