UK: Skype Forcing 10,000 to Change Numbers
Juliette Garside writes in The Telegraph.co.uk:
Skype, the internet telephone service owned by online auctioneer eBay, is facing a furious backlash from customers after admitting late last week that it will have to cut off 10,000 UK numbers just before Christmas.More here.
Customers have been receiving e-mails from Skype, the largest supplier of internet phone lines in the UK, in the past few days saying they will have to change their numbers by December 20.
The numbers affected begin with 020 7870 and have been allocated to London customers. Skype is offering users a year's free subscription by way of recompense.
Skype leases the numbers from an intermediary called GCI Telecom. By error, they had already been assigned to another company, Gamma Telecom, which wants to be able to hand them out to its customers.
