Does a Skype subscription require an active mobile...

I am planning to call internationally from the UK to Hong Kong S.A.R. I have an iPhone but with no mobile subscription from a provider in the UK. I want to subscribe to call mobiles in Hong Kong, but I am not sure if I need a mobile connection in the UK in order to use skype's calling service.

No, it does not. iPad 3G has a GPS chip build in. Wifi only iPad does not, but uses location services to find it's location. If you have a 3G version iPad, GPS communicates with satellites with or without 3G service activated.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
Your account shows that you are calling from the UAE. Please note that the UAE blocks all outbound VoIP traffic including Skype. You could try using a VPN to access the internet.
p.s. No post duplication please. Duplicate removed. Thank you.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Skype subscription in combination with Skype premi...

Hello,
I have a Skype subscription for calling to mobile and landline numbers in the Netherlands. I noticed that with a Skype premium account you can make unlimited calls to landlines in the Netherlands.
Is there a way to combine these two, so that the landline calls do not use up my subscription minutes?
Thanks in advance.
Frank

In case anyone else has this question, I contacted customer support and got this answer:
... , if you purchase the Skype Premium with Unlimited Calls to NL(landline) and make
calls, the minutes will be deducted on your limited subscription which is 400
mins to NL.
So not the answer I was hoping for. Maybe Skype can come up with a better solution in the future?!

Skype took money for subscription but never activa...

Hello to skype users
Have you ever faced such situation like mine.
I have subscription for 400 minutes a month, paid by Skype Credit. Skype takes money every month though dates when it is activated always shifting further and further. For example this month they took money 10 Euros on December 2nd but said it will be activated on December 5th.
OK then, I thought today is 5th and made a call, and was charged for this call. I went to my account to see subscription is not activated, it still shows 0 minutes from last month.
After a big search on skype site I sent a letter to support only to receive outrageous lie that I already have used all my 400 minutes in the month of December. When in fact skype even didn;t activate December subscription yet,
What should I do?

Skypes indeed takes payment for subscription renewals 3 days in advance, prior to the actual date when the subscription will renew. afaik, your minutes will reset at 1:00 GMT.

Can't activate - activation does not have the required number of digits

I have an old paid version of CS that I have been using for years. I recently had my hard drive repaired and they managed to deactivate my CS. When I try and do the phone activation, after I enter the activation code it says "The number you entered does not have the required number of digits". I am reading it right off the screen in front of me. The only other info is activation type = repair. What are my options? I paid a lot for this and I would like to keep using it. Thanks for any help.

I am having the exact same problem. I have moved my Adobe CS3 to a new computer. Even though I am entering the activation code correctly as displayed on my screen, I still get the message "The number you entered does not have the required number of digits". You can then select to speak to someone, but then you receive a recording that Adobe is no longer handling activation problems via phone, goodbye, and I am disconnected.
How can I re-activate my CS3 product? I have a legitimate purchase and a legitimate license key. Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to fnd out if I can use the same Skype subscriptions on my Mobile and my PC/Skype Phone in the office.

Can I use the same subscriptions on both devices??

Yes, you can by loggin in with the Skype name on both devices. But you can't perform calls using your subscriptions from both devices *simultaneously*.

How does one renew skype subscription?

How do I keep my skype subscription going. I got a notice it is going to expire on May 15? I wish Skype had an easy email or help phone line.

As Hubrisnxs stated, make sure you use the right ranges to avoid conflicts.
In my setup, I have the DHCP range set to 50-99. TV STB's assign themselves out of the 100-110 range. I assign static addresses out of the 2-49 range and I put all my DHCP reservations in the 150-254 block (even though they are outside the user assigned DHCP space, it works just fine).
I try to avoid static addresses because it means if I decide to change things around in my home network, I need to go around reconfiguring devices -- with reservations I need only power cycle devices. I have one access point which can't do DHCP, so besides it and the Vz router, there are no other statics in my network -- everything else is assigned by DHCP with printers, NAS, game systems, and my primary system that I sometimes access remotely via SSH all given reservations.
I give game systems reservations because then I can port forward (instead of relying on UPnP which I keep disabled) any ports necessary to allow multiplayer gaming to work.
I also gave my STB's (once they got their address themselves initially) a static reservation. I found that if I do this once Vz maps the port forwards to allow the remote DVR and other services to work things tend to remain functional (because the boxes don't change addresses and break the port forwards due to a power blip, etc.).
YMMV

Why do I have to cancel my Skype subscriptions jus...

For several years I have used a prepaid reloadable Visa debit/credit card to pay for my Skype subscriptions. My current card expires at the end of November, so I have now been issued a new card and it is active. My new card has the exact same account number. Only the expiry date, and my private security code, have changed. I am not able to just update the expiry date of my credit card in my Skype account settings as there is no option for that in those settings. In order to use my new credit card I have to delete my old credit card information. However, when I was about to do that I got a message that in order to delete my old credit card I must first cancel my Skype subscriptions. This makes no sense to me. I do not want to cancel my Skype subscriptions because I do not own any other phone so it is essential to me. Also, I have a Skype call-in number that I want to keep. If I am required to cancel my subscriptions in order to add my new credit card, I will lose that number, which will be a major pain in the ass for me. All I need to do is provide Skype with my new expiry date of my new Visa card, but there is no easy way to do that. Why not? And why is it so hard to get any answers from actual Skype employees? Why does Skype treat long-time paying customers like this?

Hi Bobebele
The trial would expire after 30 days and you would not have to cancel it.
In case you would like to uninstall the software, please follow the below steps:

Origin of call with Skype subscriptions

I understand the Skype subscriptions and their rates when calling TO a specific country, but does it matter where you call FROM/ the origin of the call if you have a subsription to call that particular country?
For example: If I buy a year subscription to call landlines and mobiles in the United States, for the $2.99 a month, does it matter WHERE I am calling from (such as France, London, Germany) as long as I am only calling TO the United States? Or is that rate only for people in the U.S. trying to call others in the U.S? I'm a U.S. resident studying abroad for a year and wasn't sure if the origin of the call/ where I call from, is as important as where the subsription is set up to call to.

When calling telephones, the people you call may see a number based on where Skype patches your call into the telephone network. When calling phones across the USA and Canada, this is often done from locations in California. Users have no control over where Skype patches calls into the telephone network, as this is done in part to minimize the costs for those calls (and how there are lower rates in general when calling with Skype, and "unlimited" subscriptions for some parts of the world).
Skype has been doing this for many years, even before its acquisition by a big US-based software company. It's not some part of a scheme for the US taking over the world. It is probably cheaper for Skype to patch calls bound for Canadian phone numbers into the phone network from wherever it is being done now (probably in California) than it would be to patch the calls into the phone network somewhere in Canada.

Unlimted European Subscription listed as active bu...

Hi,
I have a 3 month unlimited European subscription which has been listed as active since 11th July, however, I am being charged for landline calls to the UK and Netherlands which should be covered in this subscription type. Why is this happening and how can I get my subscription working correctly?
I use Skype for my business so I'm having to use Skype credit to pay for calls that should be covered by this subscription.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
You are correct that your Unlimited Europe subscription is still active. However, I checked your call history and found out that you called mobile numbers. Your subscription covers calls to Europe landline numbers only. If you will call phone numbers which are not covered by your subscription such as mobile numbers, it will be charged against your credit balance.
You can review your call history here: https://secure.skype.com/store/myaccount/history.html
I would suggest that you purchase another subscription which will cover calls to United Kingdom and Netherlands mobile numbers. You can purchase a new subscription here: http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ Type United Kingdom or Netherlands under "Which country do you want to call?"
Hope this helps.

Can I Use Skype Free Minutes From a Mobile Phone

Can you use Skype free minutes (provided with Office365) to call FROM a mobile phone? When I check the free minutes online, I see that they are active on my Skype account, but my Android mobile app does not show any Skype credit?

If your iPad Mini is a cellular model, you can use Skype (and buy a block of minutes). If only wireless, you can also use Skype on a wireless connection. It saved the day when I forgot my iPhone and needed to make a call. Skype sells phone numbers, but I've never gone that route.

SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
"The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
ID: 2607"
What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
5) Neither service account is locked out
Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...

That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
"doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

FW CS6 Error message: An error occurred. This command requires an active document.

Hi,
I've been seeing the following message while saving active documents recently: An error occurred. This command requires an active document. My document does indeed save.
I'm wondering if a recently-installed (and much-loved) extension could be the cause?
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

As far as similar problems, I recently opened Fireworks 8 to test the File Management button (the Put command in particular) and found that it triggered an alert message normally produced by Aaron Beall's "Deform to Path" command:
I tried closing the Path panel, and the alert message was still triggered. (I do have that command also available within the Commands menu, but I'm not sure what was going on there; however, since I don't use Fireworks 8 much anymore and never use the Put command, I decided to leave it alone.)
Currently, I use Fireworks CS6. Several months ago, I noticed a "migrating panel" bug, where panels within the default configuration had been mysteriously swapped for one another: The Color Palette panel had been replaced by Lorem Ipsum, while the Path panel had gone missing, replaced by the Color Palette panel—bizarre behavior, to say the least. I tried reselecting a default Workspace (as well as a saved one), but it had no effect on the problem. I still haven't taken the time to diagnose and fix the issue, but I suppose it might have somehow been triggered by the Lorem Ipsum panel, which was a custom installation.

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again"

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again". This happens with two different apps from two different banks. One of them works occasionally and have not figured out why. I have cell signal and I am on a strong WiFi network. Same thing happens when I turn off the WiFi too. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the app with no improvement. I can't seem to find any setting that would cause this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can access the internet just fine in the browser and i can use any other app i have.
