Virtual Number for Skype and Microsoft Account Verification
Skype shut down in May 2025, and Microsoft pointed users to Microsoft Teams (free), where you sign in with the same Microsoft account to keep your chats and contacts. What hasn't gone away is the account itself: Microsoft may ask for a phone number when you create an account, when a sign-in looks unusual, or before it unlocks a flagged account, and it sends a code by SMS. The Skype option in Noir SMS is meant for that Microsoft account phone check. It reserves a mobile number for 20 minutes, shows the code in your dashboard, and refunds you if Microsoft never sends it.

Quick answer
Microsoft retired Skype in May 2025 and moved users to Microsoft Teams (free), but the Microsoft account behind Skype can still ask you to confirm a phone number by SMS. For that check, choose Skype in Noir SMS, rent a US, Canada or UK number, and copy the code from your dashboard. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded automatically.

How to get your Skype code
Enter it at the Microsoft prompt
When Microsoft asks you to verify a phone (on sign-up, in Teams or on account.microsoft.com), choose the matching country code, enter the number and pick Text, not Call.
Confirm, then fix recovery
Type the code from your dashboard. Afterwards, add a recovery email or Microsoft Authenticator in your security settings so future checks don't depend on this number.
Before you verify Skype
Skype the app is gone, the account isn't
You can no longer sign in to Skype itself. Your Skype identity lives on as a Microsoft account, which you use in Teams (free), Outlook and other Microsoft services. That's what this verification is for.
Skype Number and credit are separate
A paid Skype Number or Skype Credit was a calling product, not a verification method. Noir SMS doesn't replace it: our numbers only receive SMS codes and can't make or take calls.
Don't leave the rented number on the account
Microsoft uses the phone on file for password resets. Numbers from Noir SMS are recycled later, so once you're in, add your own recovery options and remove the temporary number.

Skype virtual number: FAQ
Is Skype still available?
No. Microsoft retired Skype in May 2025 and invited users to move to Microsoft Teams (free), signing in with the same Microsoft account. Some details of the transition may still change, so check Microsoft's own help pages for the latest. Phone verification now happens on the Microsoft account, not inside Skype.
Which option do I choose in Noir SMS for a Microsoft account phone check?
For an account that was used with Skype, choose Skype. For a general Microsoft account, Outlook or Teams sign-up, the Microsoft option is also available. Either way, you get a mobile number for one verification, and the code appears in your dashboard.
Why didn't Microsoft send the code?
Microsoft sometimes limits codes after several attempts or refuses certain numbers. Check that the country code is right and that you picked Text. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, Noir SMS refunds the charge automatically; you can also cancel after 2 minutes.
Can I get my old Skype number back with a virtual number?
No. A Skype Number was a phone line Microsoft sold for calls, and it ended with Skype. A Noir SMS number is a one-time verification number that receives SMS only. It can confirm your Microsoft account, but it can't take over any old Skype calling features.
Is it allowed to verify a Microsoft account with a temporary number?
Verifying your own Microsoft account with a separate number is fine within Microsoft's terms. Noir SMS may only be used for your own legitimate accounts. Bulk account creation, getting around a suspension, spam and impersonation are prohibited.
