Interested in skype premium

I'm interested in getting skype premium while it is "on sale" through july 31 but am still confused. Will I get a phone number and willthis give me the ability to recieve calls and allow people to leave voicemail?

As I understand you wish to make calls from Skype, receive calls from landline/mobile and set up voicemail.
* Online Number gives you the possibility to receive calls from landline/mobile and you can set it as your caller ID. If you call someone then your Online Number will be shown as caller ID.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/caller-identification/
* Subscription enables you to make outgoing calls and comes with voicemail. You can purchase only Unlimited US&Canada subscription or Skype Premium package that gives US customers who purchase 3 or 12month subscription also Unlimited US & Canada(with voicemail):
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/premium-table-5
Bottom line is, you need to purchase an Online Number and for outgoing calls you need a subscription. You can purchase subscription separately or if you are in US then as part of Skype Premium with other benefits.
Important: Make sure you purchase subscription first, then you will get discount on Online Number.

  • Skype Premium for 1 month

    I wanted to use group picture calling to our account as prompted during a call so signed up and paid up for a monthly billing. Then all it said was group calling 'not available'. I am being billed monthly but when I check my account credit I have $0.00!!!
    So what am I paying for?? 

    Hi,
    Your account currently has 1 month subscription for Skype Premium: https://secure.skype.com/account/purchase/history/orders
    Skype Premium itself provides group video calls, not calls to phones. Subscriptions provide calling minutes, not credit therefore your balance will not be changed, when purchasing a subscription.
    I guess you are interested in Skype Premium bundle that comes with Unlimited US&Canada subscription: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/premium/
    As the website says, in order to get Unlimited US&Canada you need to sign up at least for 3 months.
    Customer service will help you correct this if you contact them as guided here: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA10656

  • Changes to Skype Premium for existing users

    I'm confused about what my former Skype Premium package now includes following an email from Skype. I had noticed that from 1st May I was no longer getting free calls to Canada as was previously the case but the latest communication from Skype isn't clear. It states:
    "Group video calling is now free. But as a big thanks for being a Premium subscriber, we're giving you calling to countries around the world at no extra cost. That means you'll get all the perks of Premium, plus unlimited1 calls to phones in over 60 countries/regions — all for the same rate you're paying now."
    So does that mean I get free calls to the 60 countries listed or not? I'm primarily interested in free or low cost calls to Canada and if these aren't on offer what benefits am I getting from the new Premium?

    I've now had another email from Skype which tells me I have subscribed to a new package and upon checking it is unlimited world calling, so that seems to clarify matters, although I was still charged for calls earlier in May...

  • How do you cancel skype premium????

    The process to cancel skype premium does not seem to work.  I have tried it online, on a Mac and on a Windows computer.  When you go to group video and click the "change my account settings" link, it says I don't have an internet connection.  How do you think I was on the page to be able to even click the button?  I find it interesting that you can sign up for it very easily but cancelling does not work.  I also find it interesting that there is apparently no way to contact anyone at skype to report this as a problem or cancel it.  HOW DO I CANCEL SKYPE PREMIUM?????

  • Skype Premium - Improved group calling?

    Hi there,
    I regularly host Skype calls with 6-8 people across four continents (US, UK, East Africa and SE Asia). The sound quality is okay, but when the number of participants goes over 5+ people our calls tend to get dropped after a few minutes. It is a frustrating process of dialing back in.
    I am thinking of upgrading to Skype Premium. I'm not interested in the video conferencing feature (the bandwith of my colleagues in Africa and Asia won't support that), but I am wondering whether the upgrade will improve our dropped calls situation?
    Otherwise, does Skype have any other products or solutions to improve group calling or improve call quality in general?
    Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    Skype Premium would not affect quality of your audio only group calls. So if you are not into group video calling, the live chat customer service option or advertising removal Skype Premium is not something for you.
    Please follow the steps in this guide on improving call quality: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12097/solving-call-quality-problems-windows-desktop

  • Skype premium and 'reward' of Unlimited World subs...

    Reward for existing Skype Premium Subscribers?
    When I saw the May 2014 email about Premium changing and premium subscribers being 'rewarded', I thought it was great because we have family outside of the USA but the way this has been handled was not the best and now we have a mess with my account and support doesn't seem equipped to help. Here is my history...
    Watched my Paypal Charged for the Unlimited World - (a charge that I did not request)
    My account has been in a state since 14 May myself - I saw a charge as it was applied to my Paypal account, it was for the unlimited world subscription that I did not purchase. I immediately contacted skype and Skype Support offered to refund that money and the switch to Unlimited World would happen soon after without any charges.
    Endless Support Conversations
    Now, I have been having chat's and exchanging emails with Skype because I was told:
    1. I would automatically be switched to Unlimited World (as noted above) but this did not happen
    2. Then, I was told I would NOT be switched until Renewal. (support provided a link that explained this)0
    3. Then, I was told I would and already had been switched to unlimited world - which is not true
    4. Puchase History Descrepency - I've provided details that my Skype Purchase History shows fewer transactions than my Paypal account (as in charges and refunds from Skype). Skype history shows a refund only, Paypal shows a charge and a refund on the same day!
    The Support discussions are difficult:
    1. Partly because the english used is volumous but hard to understand (ESL, I have to think)
    2. Partly because each person seems to assure me things either are fixed (unsatisfactorily) or will be fixed (satisfactorily) - and this issue has not been resolved.
    3. Partly because each person doesn't seem to have a complete picture of the problem I have been describing.
    Each time, we seem to discuss some smaller details instead of the real issue.
    I've been using skype for over 10 years now and the change since Microsoft has taken over is very strange on the support side.
    Has anyone else had such problems or noticed such a change with Skype (which used to be somewhat hip and cool)?
    L
    Skype user from nearly the beginning! Loved the early Skype, challenges and all. (Have been a member of nearly all versions of Skype forums over the years but history has been forgotten.)

    I believe the objective and query of my communications both here and with both Skype Support Live Chat and Skype Support by email has been clear from the beginning - I have been asking "when" the Skype Unlimited World Calling would be added to my Skype Premium account as noted in the May 2014 email saying Premium subscriptions would be rewarded - Noting that I had made a call to Spain and saw my credit being deducted when I expected the Unlimited World Subscription might have been applied (which I thought was a great reward).
    Overall, I don't think this is a terribly difficult issue, at least not until I got involved with Skype's various support representatves. Here is a brief summary, chronologically (summarised because there have been more the 5 exchanges with Support so far):
    1. When? - Looking for a time when the Unlimited World Calling would be applied to my account.
    2. Charge/Refund? - Asking that an unrequested charge against my account be explained and then accepting the offer of Skype support to refund that money and being told the Unlimited World Calling would be applied to my account in some time.
    3. Support says 'Resvoled' - Looking for the Unlimited World Calling some time later, being told that it HAS been applied when it was not.
    4. Please Verify - Asking for Support to check my account to verify that the Unlimited World Calling WAS actually applied to my account because I could not see it.
    5. Descrepency - I then pointed out to Skype Support that I now see a descrepency between what I see on my Skype Purchase History vs. my Paypal Charge/Refund history.
    All of the above is in the interest of the conversion from my current Preimium with a single country subscription to the Unlimited World Calling subscription.
    Below is the response to my last query (that covered both 4 and 5 above) but I maintained that my over arching goal was as I stated at the top of this post (yet again):
    We appreciate your response.
    We understand that you are confused about the charges that you got last December 17, 2013 for the Skype premium subscription for £41.262 and another charged last may14, 2014 for the Unlimited World 12 months with the same cost.
    Here is the explanation about that.
    The Skype premium that you have purchased last December 17, 2014 is a bundled subscription. Meaning aside from the group video calling feature, it also have the Unlimited World 12 months that you can use to call other countries for the amount of £41.262 instead of £86.76.
    However, Group Video Calling is now free and Group Video Calling is the main feature of Skype Premium. Skype replace your calling subscription that was bundled to your Skype premium with Unlimited World 12 months. That is why it has the same price as your old Skype Premium subscription.
    Also the charged for the Unlimited World 12 months has been refunded already last May 14, 2014.
    We do apologize for the confusion this has cause you.
    We hope that this information clarified your questions.
    Best regards,
    Skype Customer Service
    In my work, I communicate successfully by email with multinational global companies, both senior and middle management, on a daliy basis so I don't believe I am being unclear in my communications (experience would say I don't have a problem communicating).
    Can anyone else see that the responses are dealing with individual details instead of the real issue?
    Should I respond to the email above AGAIN trying to explain that this does NOT resolve my issue?
    I'm slowly being frustrated into submission and then cancelling... all the experience here is just too painful.  (I dread checking my emails from skype now...really not enjoying this.)

  • I want to but cannot cancel Skype Premium

    I have waded through the maze of screens telling me how to cancel Skype premium.
    I cannot delete my payment method as Skype Premium has to be cancelled first.
    I cannot go into subscription settings as there is no settings option as described in the how to.
    I cannot open chat support, no matter how many browsers I try.
    I do not use premium, I do not want it and I find it quite ludicrous that there is no simple way to cancel it or contact support.
    I see all the other topics saying the same thing but no solution.
    Please can someone help! I don't care about a refind. i just don't want to be debited for yet another year for somehting that I don't use and that I now read has no purpose as the only feature which was desirable is now free.

    I am in the exact same situation. I have spent a lot of time on a loop of links that bring me back to the same useless pages. All I want to do is cancel my Skype Premium before it charges me again. You posted over a month ago and I see no one has offered you a solution. Is there no way to contact a customer service rep to deal with this?

  • Paying for Skype Premium using a Purchase Order/In...

    Hi,
    Our University would like to pay for a Skype Premium account using a Purchase Order system - i.e. we send out a Purchase Order to Skype, Skype sends an invoice, and we then send payment to Skype.
    Would this be possible, or is there an email address I can use to contact Skype directly about this?
    Thanks,
    Massimo

    I guess you are talking about due date for a billing document.
    There's an FM Determine_Due_date for that. before that you'll have to use FM FI_DOCUMENT_READ with I_AWTYP as VBRK and I_AWREF as Billing Document Number. You will get T_BSEG entry.
      CALL FUNCTION 'FI_DOCUMENT_READ'
       EXPORTING
         i_awtyp           = 'VBRK'
         i_awref           = po_vbeln
       TABLES
         t_bseg            = i_bseg
      SORT i_bseg BY vbeln.
    READ TABLE i_bseg WITH KEY vbeln = 'Billing Document Number'.
      IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_bseg TO wa_faede.
        CALL FUNCTION 'DETERMINE_DUE_DATE'
             EXPORTING
                  i_faede                    = wa_faede
             IMPORTING
                  e_faede                    = wa_faede
             EXCEPTIONS
                  account_type_not_supported = 1
                  OTHERS                     = 2.
    This wa_faede will have due date in one of its fields.

  • Problem purchasing Skype premium

    I am having serious difficulties purchasing Skype premium. 
    Following my participation in an academic congress in China last year, my Skype account has accidently become associated with Skype's Chinese partner Tom Online. When I now try to purchase Skype Premium from skype.com, I am redirected to Tom Online's Chinese website. 
    I initially thought that I could resolve the issue by contacting Skype's customer service, but this appears not to be the case. The advice that I have been given is that I should contact Tom Online in order to address the issue, or register an new Skype account. The replies that I have receieved from Skype's customer service are generally rather incoherent, each time written by a different person and often a cut & paste of pre-written text that is only tangentially relevant to the problem. 
    Might there any way for me, as a European business customer, to purchase Skype Premium without having to interact with Skype's Chinese partner or registering a new Skype account? If so, I would be most grateful.

    Hello Ashraf,
    I would first recommend checking your call history here:
    https://secure.skype.com/account/usage
    If call history shows that destination was recognized as Israel landline number then customer service will need to investigate why subscription didn't cover it.
    You can file a support ticket through customer service as shown here: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1170

I see Skpye do not offer a telephone custer services service - ha! Now I want to get reimbursement for moneys taken for a service never used etc etc and I cannot find any where to action this after 45 mins paging through the website.

  • Skype Premium (group video) - unable to make calls...

    The Skype Premium pages suggest that group video also gives you free calls to U.S. and Canada calls. However, when I go to make a call, I am told that I don't have funds and the call cannot be made. Are the marketing pages wrong? Are calls not included?

    Hello
    Can you please direct to the correct department. How long does 14.00$ credit last. I was trying to renew my yearly account which was cancelled because I forgot to renew in time.
    Our payment was 30.40$ for the year for the last two (2) years. but we could not find the form. I have bought 14.00$Canadian credit but I do not know how long this lasts and would like this information but would really like to pay once a year as I have done in previous years. Please send me an email regarding this. Thank you in advance for helping me with this matter.

  • Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    In short no. Skype for business is the same as standard Skype except it has an msi installer so that you can deploy it with a pre defined setup throughout your organisation. Also you can have Skype Manager, which lets you create users and allocate credit, online numbers and other features directly to your staff. There is no monthly cost for this. Skype Premium is a monthly subscription (£5.99 per month) that gives you access to additional features like, Group Video Calling, Group Screen Sharing and An Unlimited Country Call Plan. If you have any more questions or need further clarification please get in touch.

  • Skype premium wants me to pay for calls yet I have...

    I signed up for Skype premium with a annual plan paid in full. Yet it wants me to pay for calls. Can you assist or contact me at 413.770.1812 to change subscription.

    What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
    If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
    Regars.
