Skype has hit a snag with SkypeIn, its service that enables people to attach a traditional phone number to their Skype account. It has had to write to some owners of 0207 London numbers to explain that their numbers will have to change. In an email, Skype explained that some 0207 numbers would stop working on Thursday 20th December: “We’re very sorry to tell you that we have to change your SkypeIn number,” it said.

Some customers claim this latest incident, coupled with a two-day outage on the service earlier this summer , could lead them to desert the service. “Like others, I have printed marketing material with this number, which I guess I’m now going to have to sticker over,” complains another Skype user.
