60 minutes for Office 365

Hello,
I have a problem with the 60 world minutes which are supposed to be included in my Office 365 University account. I linked my pre-existent Skype account to my Microsoft account and that was that, but the free 60 minutes are nowhere to be found. I am not in one of the counties in which that service doesn't apply. Please tell me how to find and be able to use my 60 minutes of free calling! Thanks in advance!

Sign in to your microsoft account. 
Hit the activate button on the skype minutes.
Be sure to scroll all the way down to claim them.
Wait about 10 minutes and they should be showing in a sidebar when you sign into skype. Try making a call to a landline or mobile.
If they aren't being applied, it may be because you are calling outside the 60 eligible countries or regions.
I DID this and actually used one of my minutes! Yippee!
I'm no whiz so you should be able to do it too.
The problem with these giant companies that have us all by the short and curlies is that what they mean by support is "figure it out yourselves"... it's an exercise in self-reliance.

  • Why are my monthly World Minutes for Office 365 no...

    Both Skype and Office 365 subscriptions are current and up to date but the World Minutes never reset and always show that I have "Reached my Monthly Limit". Skype and Microsoft are the only companies that I pay money too and yet have the most difficult time reaching support or getting answers.

    Hello there,
    I'm requestiing a country to be added to the 60 World minutes for Office 365. Right now I didn't get the benefit of this offer since I'm only calling to Saudi Arabia which is a big country that should be supported. 
    I want to know if you guys planning on adding more countries to the plan especially Saudi Arabia.

  • Re: Using world minutes for office 365

    Agreed, this just happened to me while calling a mobile number in the UK. The worst of it is that I did also have anytime Skype credit, so my call cost me money without me realizing it until I later went to check my balance.
    I understand that there are limitations to the awesome service provided by Skype, but it's outright misleading to give the name "World Minutes" to a subscription service that can't even call mobile numbers outside of the US (& territories), Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand (of all places!?), without waving a big flag saying "EVERYWHERE ELSE THIS ONLY APPLIES TO LANDLINES". Especially since landlines are on a rapid decline as compared to cell phones. I guess the advertising for Office 365 was too good to be true.

    and Thailand (of all places!?),
    Hello,
    The reason that Thailand (and the 4 other countries) are included in the cellphone calling World Minutes program is that these countries treat cellphones and landlines alike and have very low calling rates to both. Unfortunately UK (in common with many other countries) is still charging very high rates for cellphone calls so it's not yet possible to include them in the program.
    I understand your comments concerning making it clearer and will check to see if this can be done.

  • World minutes for Office 365

    When i was sold the Windows Microoffice Pack the guy said that i get 60minutes free calling on skype. Now that i want to use it, the country that i want to call is not on the 'available list' Is there anyway of getting around this?? That is just not fair :/

    Hello and welcome to the Skype community,
    Unfortunately there's no "workaround". The 60 minutes subscription trial that comes together with Office 365 is fixed to the current country setup of the World subscription. Please take a look at our subscription page to the country you want to call and check if the subsription we offer might still be interesting for you:

  • Using world minutes for office 365

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I wish to use skype to make telephone calls over a wifi connection using my free 60 minutes that come with my Office 365 subscription however it always says "insufficient credit".
    Please can somebody explain to me how I can use these free minutes.
    Thank you for your help

    I have the exact same problem on my Nokia Lumi 920 - 58 minutes free on my office 365 subscription but it says insufficient funds when trying to call a mobile number in the UK - very frustrating!!
    UPDATE: after a lot of searching I found that the Office 365 Home Premium subscription only can make calls to LAND LINES - sign into Skype in the web browser and go here https://secure.skype.com/account/call-phones/settings?package=api_300-region-landline-world-60&categ... to see the limitations of your account.

  • World minutes for office 365 & Unlimited World 1 m...

     Hi, I have two subscriptions I originally had the Unlimited World 1 month and then I purchased Office 365 and they gave me 60 min worth of calling every month. Anytime I make a phone call it's covered by my Unlimited World plan because I am currently calling to the  USA; now how can I change it so I can use first the 60 min from my Office 365 and once that expires to switch back to my World Unlimited?
     Also I am using sony ericson xperia and I have skype installed but most of the time when my friends call me the phone doesn't ring ..in other words the skype applications doesn't open only on my computer and it's kind of annoying ! How do I fix that?

    Here is a list of where you can actually call with world minutes:
    "Call landlines and mobiles in: Canada, China, Guam, Hong Kong SAR, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Thailand, and United States.
    Call landlines only in: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia (excluding rural areas - LEX), Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guadeloupe, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia (Jakarta only), Republic of Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Venezuela."
    Pretty limited. But there it is. Doesn't help me at all. Even in the US, no one has a landline anymore!

    I'm having the same issue.  My account page shows that I have 60 minutes linked and active, but when I use my skype account to make a call to Korea, it doesn't use any of my 60 minutes.  In fact, I ran out of the minutes I paid for and got disconnected!  Meanwhile, my 60 minutes are still just sitting there, untouched. Please help.  Thank you.Are you calling a landline in (South) Korea?  Only landlines in that country are covered by that subscription.

  • PowerShell for Office 365 is here – here's how to use it

    After announcing its intention to release new scripts and commands to better integrate PowerShell with Office 365,Microsoft has followed through.The newly ordained PowerShell for Office 365 features the same command-line interface found in PowerShell 5.0 – and that's because it is the same program.According to The Register, Microsoft has created "ascript libraryto help you do things like add users, control licenses, and stop people from recording Skype meetings."Before you start using it, however, you have to "import the modules corresponding to all the bits of Office 365 you want to administer, including the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant and the Azure Active Directory Module to handle the important matters of security and authentication."The widespread use of PowerShell and its necessity for sysadmins and network admins...

    Hi, almightywiz,
    Sorry for the delayed response. I was away from office for one day and did not have access to the files.
    And you are right, column 11 is text and column 26 is date (i.e., numeric). And indeed, those visually blank cell in column 11 are not null but have zero length. Java can tell the difference but not by visually inspecting the cells in the spreadsheet.
    I also checked the POI API documents, and found that org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell interface, which has those cell types, is implemented by both HSSFCell and XSSFCell. The question is under what condition the cell type of a cell becomes Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK.
    While that is not yet clear, I will catch cells missing data in column 11 by checking three things: first check if(cell == null), then if(cell.getCellType() != Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING), and then if(cell.getStringCellValue().length() == 0). And that solves my problem.
    Thank you so much for sharing your experience and solving my problem.
    I have another problem that may more serious, at Can I process Excel BIFF5 files, or simply abandon Apache POI? It would be very much appreciated if you had time to look at it.
    Best regards,

  • "project pro for office 365

    I was eagerly looking for a project management software and fortunately came across your office project pro 365 product
    While looking up on the website office, I had some questions rising concerning
    the “project pro for office 365” – 25 dollars/per user/ per month option
    It is mentioned that it can be installed on up to 5 pcs.
    Here are some questions I would like you to answer to help my purchase. (FYI I am planning to share this software with a team of 5 people)
    Does that mean that if I pay 25 dollars, me and my other 4 team mates will have equal access and manipulation of the software(insert/edit)?
    Or is it only one person getting some sort of ID and password that give access to Cloud and other 4 people just having the right to view the files(such as Gantt chart etc.)
    I was informed that if I go with this option I will have to take
    “project online” to have a cloud subscription(extra 33dollars). Is that correct?
    If a get an ID and Password, will it be on a single designated PC or doesn’t it matter far as it is among the 5 pcs where the software is installed?
    Do you have any other options to recommend considering we are a group of 5 people and want at least 2 people to have the right to have access to the software and be able to write or edit while the other 3 members can view the
    shared files of charts?
    Thank you for your answer in advance!

    However, to answer the questions...
    1. That is upto 5 PCs for a single user, not spread across multiple users.
    2. One user gets one ID.  
    3. No, Project Online is a separate product.  
    4. It doesn't matter.  You can log into one of 5 PCs and install Project Pro for 0365.  If you no longer have access to a PC, you can "de-activate" it using the web, and then install on another.
    5.  Buy 5 licences.
