Does Skype always charge MORE EXPENSIVE of 2 overl...

Have 2 subscriptions to the same destination. First (cheaper) for landlines and Second (more espensive) for landlines and mobiles.  Based on FAQ below I expected landline subscription is used for landlines and landline + mobile for mobiles at least until one of them exausted.
However when I call landline I'm crarged minutes from the Second (landline and mobile) subscription.  So I cannot use my landline only subscription until landline+mobile is exausted and then Skype will charge me pay-as-you go rate for calls to mobile.  
Is that how that supposed to work? Then either I miss something in the statement from Skype website below or this statement is misleading:
If I have more than one subscription that covers calls to the same country, which one is used when I make a call?
Skype is pretty clever about using the subscription that’s best for you. It ranks your subscriptions and uses them in this order: 
By minute rate – lowest rate (i.e. cheapest) ranks first
By plan type – unlimited* ranks first, and limited ranks second
By next monthly minutes reset date – nearest ranks first 

Any response to this from Skype? This is pretty phony practice IMHO.  Sure, couple of dollars stollen by Skype this way does not validate any serious action from single customer besides just stopping being fooled by this subscriptions scam.  But I hope that some class action lawyers monitor these forums.

    Dear Skype,
    I live in Greece and would like to have a video conversation with South Africa.  Is South Africa charged more
    when talking on the video?
    Please let me know as they insist that they have to pay more when talking on the video.
    Regards,

    What year is your iMac ... how much memory ... which graphics?  Have you gone into the Preferences under the Final Cut Pro menu and selected the Playback tab and set to Use Original or Optimized Media ... then under that set the Playback Quality to High Quality?

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The people who will reply to your posts are, like me, in almost all cases your fellow users. If checking your Purchase History in your iTunes Store account (you'll need to use iTunes on a computer) doesn't remind you of something you purchased in that amount, such as an in-app purchase, go here:

  • Does Skype work on Droid Charge

    I downloaded & Insalled Skype on Samsung Charge. When I load Skype I get a error message telling me that "Skype only  works on TELKOMSEL" What is this? Does Skype work on Samsung Charge?

        Hello bfowler71,
    I want to make sure that you are able to use all the functionalities of your phone!  Skype is currently supported on the Samsung Charge.  Were you able to check the international settings as Davidoo suggested?  Since this app is developed by Skype I would suggest reaching out to them as we are unable to fully support 3rd party applications.  Please let me know if you have any other questions as I can work to provide as much information as possible! 
    Thank You,

  • Why does Australian Mac App store STILL charge more than US?

    Even with the revision on pricing by Apple yesterday, the Oz App store still makes Aussies pay more than apps bought from US App store for Americans. Aperture US=US$79.99, Aperture OZ=AUD$84.99. According to Bloomberg currency conversion today, Aussies should only be paying AUD $74.21. So in real terms why are we slugged an extra AUD$10 more, which would equate to US10.78? The more expensive the app the bigger the difference in cost to us. And why should there be ANY difference considering this is all digital & no packaging or postage involved? Apple, if you are going to change your pricing, please base it on actual exchange rates & make it REAL! You will then find Aussie uptake for apps much greater, same goes for other countries in a similar position.

    Folks are directing their feedback on the  MAS to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it is currently a Snow Leopard related app, it comes with the OS's update.
    Questioning Apple's decisions about its business and products is a violation of the Terms of Use for the ASC. You agreed not to do so when you opened your account. It may be a legitimate question on other people's forums, but not here.
    It is ranting, because all manner of sharing experience about doing business in foreign nations goes ignored in the thread to which I linked, and any others around. BTW, the US prices do not yet have any taxes added to them. The taxes are added at checkout in the US MAS. That is not the case in the MAS for many other nations.

  • Could you tell me why does Mac is more expensive than Windows?

    I love Apple, don't get me wrong. Just, i see Mac is more expensive than Windows.

    Windows is an operating system for which you pay money. Mac's operating system, Mavericks, is free.
    If you are speaking of hardware, then you need to make a specific hardware comparison of apples with apples, not apples and oranges.

  • Battery does not charging more then 43%! PB shuts down, does not go to slee

    Hello
    after 223 cycles (at the moment) my battery did something weird. I was surfing internet with 50% of charge and my PB turned off
    i pluged in the adaptor and when PB turned on it said that time was reset to 1970 year bla bla bla (PMU reset) after what battery charging level increased up to 43% LED became grren and my battery indicator stopped at 43% and that is it
    26 month PB 12" (as shown in System profiler)
    i tried to use my pb on battery again and again near 5% it switched off (but should go to sleep mode) and my date and time settings reset to 1970. Again my battery wont charge more then 43%
    How could it be?
    Thank you in advance

    i had a similar problem not once, not twice but THREE times. the only difference being that my battery would charge to "100%" only to just switch off at 80% then a few days later 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, etc until a point where only a few minutes unplugged caused the computer to switch off and the date reset.
    for me the issue caused a dead hard drive (i assume from being hard switched off so often)
    after my computer chewed through a second battery the same way, theory was devised that the logic board was messing up the power management. one replaced logic board and in a short time another battery down.
    at the moment i am waiting for it to be looked at under warranty for the fourth time and honestly feel like as much as i enjoy using osx, i can't really justify another apple purchase .
    i hope the road to finding what is wrong with your computer is easier than what it has been with mine.

  • Skype payment failed? skype auto charged 3 days la...

    So for whatever weird reason I got a message on August 18th that my skype subscription payment had failed. It's a $2.99 payment and my bank balance on my visa check card was way more than $2.99 at the time. I did nothing at the time and then on August 22nd skype auto charged my same bank account again and my bank shows that I was charged $2.99. BUT when I log into skype today it says my account is ending in 9 days?? Why is it ending if you got my $2.99 on August 22nd??? 
    ALSO the number I had with skype no longer works??? It is still listed on my desktop skype interface but when I call it I get an error message... AND when I call from it to my cell phone it is a totally different number that I have never seen before and is a totally different area code etc. ??? 
    I wish Skype had real customer service and didn't make me have to post on a forum about this.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
    1. You may have received the message in error. Your account shows that the $2.99 payment on August 18th 2014 successfully purchased a further one month"s Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription.
    2. Your last order for this was for 3 months coverage on December 17th 2011. The Number has since been returned to the "pool".

  • I am part of a family sharing setup.  Can I have my own payment method so the organizer does not get charged for my purchases?

    I am part of a family sharing setup.  Can I have my own payment method so the organizer does not get charged for my purchases?  If so, how do I set this up?

    Yes.  Just redeem gift cards so that your own account always has a sufficient credit balance.  Here is how it works:
    Family purchases and payments
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.

  • If I wanted to upgrade my iPod touch to the more expensive version, how long would I have to do so? (UK)

    If I went to an Apple store in the UK with my 16GB iPod touch 5th gen and the receipt (do I 100% need a receipt?), how long after the purchase date am I allowed to get it replaced for the more expensive 32GB version? Is it the same as getting a refund (Jan 7th)?
    Not having a camera on the back side of the iPod is just ridiculous, I don't honestly believe the majority of people would prefer to have a camera on the front rather than the back. I'd rather just get it upgraded.
    Thanks for any help.

    Sorry... Apple does not do Trade-Ins.
    You would need to sell it privately and put whatever you get for it towards what you want to buy.
