Excessive charges when using Skype to go

I have recently visited India and have used my Skype to go access number to call my Skype to go contacts in the UK using my mobile phone. On reviewing my mobile phone bill I have incurred charges of between £21 and £51 for these calls. I was under the issusion that Skype to go was a cheap way of making calls. Has anyone else experienced this?

When using Skype my IPad sounds like ocean. This is not a problem when I am on FaceTime or using other apps with sound. Recently updated to newest IOS 7. First there was no sound for Kype and found that had to turn microphone sound on.

When using Skype my IPad 2 now sounds like the ocean and I can barely here my contact. This happened recently after IOS7 update. I did turn the microphone on for Skype as it was required after update. Now my sound is terrible but only a problem when using Skype video call. It is okay for FaceTime.

Thank you! Resetting resolved the issue with terrible sound when trying to use skype. Sounds much better!
I am not sure what all changed when reset was applied to settings --- assume it defaults back to basic settings. I have no idea what I had customized, so will slowly figure out. I have noticed several things. So far I had to add back my wallpaper and reenter password to get back on my wi-fi.
At least SKYPE is now audible.

Iphone doesn't charge when using hotspot, even though it shows the thunderbolt sign. What to do?

Iphone doesn't charge when using hotspot, even though it shows the thunderbolt sign. What to do?

But it used to be fine before as I use hotspot through usb,so it used to charge at the same time but for past few days its not been charging at all and it charges really slow like it would only charge 40 percent in 5 hours or so.

What is the best way to preserve my battery? Should I always have it connected to the charger when using it or should I use it and then recharge it?

Microphone not working when using skype. Problem i...

When using skype, my internal mic is not working properly - friend says he cant hear the voice, but can hear other sounds - music on youtube for example. Ive tested microphone on Skype Echo - it was not working at all. I have tested it on Voice recorder - microphone was working properly. Also when I just started using this laptop (3 days ago) i have talked with friend through Skype for about 3 hours, and then he could not hear me annymore suddenly. So something is wrong with skype. Computer advisor suggested me to contact skype support tehnicians.
Solved!

New Mac Air's FaceTime HD webcam gets stuck when using Skype

Hi all,
I just bought new MacBook Air. I have a problem when I want to video chat with my friends or family on Skype using my FaceTime HD webcam. It gets stuck on a loop after a minute. If I reload it it works for a minute and then it happens again.
I am not using any other programs at the same time when using Skype such as iPhoto or Photo Booth.
I do not know if it is a software or hardware problem. Have anyone experienced the same or anyone knows how to fix it?
Cheers,
Kip

Hi Kip - I have been experiencing the same thing here.
Latest model Macbook Air 13", OSX 10.8.3, Skype 6.3.0.602
It works for the first time for a few minutes, then it will either freeze or do a continuous half second loop. turning video off then on will work for a minute or two, then it will go into the loop again.
I have searched the skype forums and found all sorts of weird suggestions to uninstall, re-install certain versions, delete stuff out off application folders etc, but nothing to reliably fix the issue.
heres the main thread: http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Video-Calls-Glitching-Since-Mac-OS-X-10-8-3-an d-Skype-6-3/td-p/1492372/page/2
heres the thread they think and older version of skype works for some people:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Video-freeze-on-Macbook-Pro-Retina-iSight-v6-3 -0-582/m-p/1489550/highlight/true#M24627
It looks to definately be a skype issue from the forums there, and its just a wait now till Skype can sort it out unfortunately.

Echo detected when using skype software - can anyone help?

Hi, can anyone help?
I've detected an echo when using skype software. This occurs through the computer of the person I'm speaking to, so that when they speak, an echo comes back to them half a second later. I'm wondering if the speakers and microphone on my laptop are located too close together and the microphone is retransmitting sound from the speakers? My laptop is an HP mini 110.
Is there anything I can alter through my audio settings to stop this happening?
Any advice is appreciated!

I have a Mini 110 that performs beautifully with Skype (no echo, etc). I have two other HP systems that don't do anywhere near as well. I did tweak the graphics card on mine, which tremendously improved the video. However...we are talking sound here, so I'll list the settings on my 110 for you to compare to yours:
I'm sure you already know how to find the settings, but...in Skype, do Tools>Audio Settings
Microphone: set at about 45% with Automatically adjust microphone settings checked
Speakers: set at about 75% with Automatically adjust speaker settings checked
Like I said, my Mini is a jewel. I wish I could say the same for my G60-535DX.

Is there an additional charge to use Skype

Is there an additional charge to use Skype?

Skype charges for some calls which you pay for in advance.
If you use cellular data, it will be subtracted from your monthly allowance and if you use more than your allowance, you will be charged for overages. Verizon does not charge you for the use of Skype, but it does charge you for the use of cellular data in the form of overages if you use more than your monthly allowance.

MBP shuts off when using Skype

I recently downloaded skype to stay in touch with family who don't have a .mac. However, now if I'm not plug into an outlet and I use Skype, the MBP will randomly and instantly shut off. My battery displays full or near full life and I don't have this problem if I stay plugged in. I've updated all software and this hasn't resolved the problem and I don't have this problem when not using skype. Please Help

I checked the system profiler and the full charge capacity is 2657 and the cycle count is 107. This only confirmed my earlier diagnosis. The battery is failing. It is now happening when Skype is not on. I think it was just a coincidence that the problem appeared after installing Skype. I've also now noticed a bulge around the battery area and intermittent trouble with the track pad and button. I contacted Apple about the battery and was told I'd have to buy a new one. I'm only out of warranty by a few months and my battery was not part of the recall. Thanks for the help.

Mac crash when using Skype with webcam

Today I used skype for videocalling on my brand new MBP 15". After 20 minutes the laptop crashed and gave me the "hold down the power button" screen.
20 minutes later he crashed again. In the last 20 minutes I only used skype (1 videocall) and safari (google & wikipedia).
Is there a way I can 'solve' this problem? (install a plugin, or something?)
thanks in advance,

Still Having Problem with Battery Overheating with Car Dock/Charger when using Maps/Navigation

I'm having a problem with the battery overheating when using Google Navigation in the OEM Samsung car dock and car charger. On a trip last weekend, I started off with a fully charged battery (because posts on other sites have complained that the Charge cannot keep up with the power draw of the Google nav app while using the car charger). About an hour into my trip, I got a message that the battery was overheating and to unplug the charger which I did. I then had to contend with the screen going out because it was running on the battery. I let the phone discharge to about 70% then tried the car charger again. Within a few minutes, I got the same overheating message. It was not an overly hot day and the car A/C was set at 68 degrees.
This morning (with the battery at about 85%) I tried to use the Navigation without the car dock while charging and got the same results...the phone battery overheated and I had to unplug the charger. The battery temperature reached 116 degrees. (also, the battery level was also dropping while using the Maps or Nav application even though it was hooked up to the car charger).
I'm very disappointed with this situation since I was hoping I could replace my old Garmin GPS with the Charge. But between the phone dimming the screen while running on battery, and having a depleted battery in the phone at the end of the trip, its just not a viable option. I really like this phone, but I'm running against the "return" clock.
Any ideas?
Could this be a software problem that will be corrected by an update in the future?
fyi: other Charge problems in the last 5 days:
- dropping audio on calls to other Verizon phones.
- use of camera flash causing the phone to reboot.
(I do have the 'class 4' 32gb card in my Charge)
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Jerry:
Yes, the phone is charging while in the car dock. I confirmed it both under the "about phone-status-battery status" menu and by my battery widget. By watching the battery widget, I also noticed that the voltage steadily increased over the ride home. It started at about 3.90 volts and ended at 4.02 volts. I don't know if that is significant. This time the battery did not overheat. The Max temp was 110 degrees, but no notice to disconnect came up. This might be because the sun was behind me on the drive home rather than beating down on the dash like it was this weeked.
I've ordered a cheap universal dock from Amazon for about $15.00 which clips onto the a/c vent. I want to see if this keeps the temperature down. If this works, I can still return the fancy-schmantzy Samsung OEM car dock. (The car-dock interface wasn't that impressive anyway).
Please let me know if the volt change means anything.
And thanks again for your help!

Is it possible to display my skype number when i am using skype to go to call mobiles?

when you call your STG access number, you are then causing a SkypeOut call to be launched on your behalf, which is why you need credit or a calling subscription
it is possible to configure Skype so that your Skype Number is displayed on the destination phone when you make SkypeOut calls
