Forwarding to Skype using Unlimited World?

Help please.
I urgently need to forward calls to my Android, to my desktop Skype. I am expecting a call about a job interview, but my phone is broken.
I just signed up for a trial of Unlimited World.
What are the exact steps I need to take to enable forwarding to Skype from mobile, considering that I am now using UW?

Is your daughter's phone a mobile phone? If so, calls to mobiles in New Zealand are not covered by the Unlimited World subscription, and require Skype Credit.
The Unlimited World subscription covers calling to around 40 countries. For most of those countries, it only covers calls to landline phones. For a few countries, it also includes calling to mobile phones as well as landline phones. Click on "Subscriptions" below, then look for the link showing the countries covered by the Unlimited World subscription. It will break out the countries where calls to both landline and mobile phones are covered, and others where calls only to landline phones are covered.

Skype credit & unlimited world calling

Hi,
I've subscribed for unlimited world calling free month and it was working great.
However it seems my Skype credit have been charged for the same and my skype credit is null now. When u try to make call using unlimited world call I couldn't make a call as it says you don't have credit balance.
I was in an impression to subscribe for this once my free month gets over, but since it makes me think that Skype credit is charged for the free call I have hesitation to make the subscription.
Could you make me understand the below
1. What's the difference between Skype credit and Skype subscription
2. Say if I subscribe to UWC for $13.99 do I need to buy a Skype credit separately to make calls?
Thank you in advance.
Solved!

1. Skype credit can be used to place calls to phone numbers reachable by the Skype network.
Skype subscriptions can be used to place phone calls at no cost assuming the number being dialed is covered by the subscription and your usage of the subscription doesn't violate Skype's terms of use or fair usage policy. If you dial a number not covered by the plan or exceed your allotted usage (if minute based), then credit will be consumed. Additionally Skype subscriptions do not cover calls to premium, shared-cost or non geographic numbers. Those will revert to credit if dialed. Be aware that many unlimited plans do NOT include mobiles. Dialing a mobile when you have a landline subscription will consume credit.
2. As long as you make calls covered by the subscription then no credit will be consumed nor is credit required. You can have a subscription with a zero credit balance. If you attempt to make a call that requires credit, you will not be able to place the call. If you are unsure what is covered by your subscription you need to revisit the terms of your subscription or keep your balance at zero credit (Auto-recharged disabled) to not incur additional costs.
This FAQ covers what is covered by that subscription. Pay close attention to the landline and mobile part. You can also refer to the Skype rates page and look at the pay as you go rates. If an area code is listed as premium or shared cost for the country you are calling, it will not be covered by the subscription and it will request credit.

I bought a Skype subscription , "unlimited world",...

First of all, i am writing this on my grandmothers behalf, she does not speak english and she is not very good with computers.
My grandmother saw an offer for unlimited free calls to the world, the first month was free and if she did not cancel her subscription within 27 days she would pay a monthly fee of around 10-12 Euro.
She thought that seemed to be a reasonable price and started an account. She got the comfirmation e-mail and tried to call her sister in Finland, but it did not work and it said she needed skype credit.
She sent an e-mail to you about this but did not even get an answer. It took me 5 minutes to find out that her account does not apply to mobile phones in Finland. My question is how hard can it be to reply to a customer in need. Where do i find the phone number to call you, if that is even possible, if not then start a phone support number in each of the countries you provide services and make it much easier to understand what i get access to with a certain subscription before i purchase it. Do you expect elderly people to be able to see what they are signing up for, when the headline is "Free Calls to the world unlimited", and the text that actually shows where it is free to call is tiny.
And it is not fair to have ads and offers in Swedish that people see and think "Let's try that" and when they need help with these services they are forced to be able to speak English. I live 2 hours away from my grandmother and she should not be forced to call me for help with something she is paying you guys for!

Hi Simon
Sorry to hear about the mobile calls to Finland ending up not a Skype included feature of "Unlimited World".
Only 8 countries are included in the Unlimited World subscription as you may now be aware.
If your Grandmother wishes to call Finland mobile phones on a regular basis, maybe a one country choice (Finland) subscription may be better?
Another suggestion, if your Grandmother only wants to make a seldom odd call to a Finland mobile (and if this idea is possible), she could make a free Skype to Skype call to a mobile, if the mobile user has a smartphone capable of running Skype?
Send a cheap text message to the mobile to tell them to turn on Skype, in the response message that their Skype is on, start calling Skype to Skype to their mobile? I use this method sometimes.
I also understand that most grandparents do not have good PC skills too.
I hope this may help.

Skype credit & unlimited world calls seem not right

I bought a skype deal for World for 3 months. This says I could call USA and Canada mobile phones without any extra cost. I could also call landlines in Venezuela for the period without an extra cost.I attempted to call a mobile phone this morning and it said I dont have enough credit. What does it mean if it is clearly written on your page https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling that I could use same to call without any extra cost? I need to understand more. I cant make both out.Whats going on?

Skype Unlimited World won't let me call UK mobiles...

Hi All,
I was under the impression that Unlimited World allowed me to do this, but every time I try, it tells me that I need a subscription (which I have!) or skype credit to call them!
This is a recent (3 months) problem and I had been using Unlimited World for ages before that with no problems at all in this respect.
Am I doing something wrong/ is there a fault with Skype? Can anyone help at all?
Thanks!
Simon

WIth multiple subscriptions which does Skype use f...

I have 3 subscriptions - unlimited world, UK 60 minutes,and Thailand 60 minutes. Skype seems to have started to use unlimited World first, even when I am phoning UK or Thailand, which means that sometimes if I want to call other countries in the world subscription I have no spare minutes left. It would make more sense if Skype used the UK subscription when I am calling the UK and the Thailand Subscription when I am calling Thailand - but this isn't what is happening. Any advice please? Thanka.

I am about to relocate and will be calling both landlines and mobiles in Australia, so this issue also seems to affect me.
I want to buy the "unlimited landlines Australia" or "Unlimited World" subscriptions, plus the 400 minutes "mobiles & landlines Australia" subscription so I hope that in the year since your enquiry, Skype got smarter.

Unlimited World issue

Hi,
I have been using Unlimited World off and on for the last couple of years. I used it for the last 30 days (and the larger part of the last year), and the 30 days is now over. I am attempting to re-charge my account, but running into an annoying 'issue'.
When I attempt to add more credit, I am only offered a monetary amount to add, I am not offered to re-up the unlimited plan. When I go to the Unlimited World offer page through this website, I am ony offered to try a free month. Upon clicking that link, I am told I have already used my month, but am not offered a way to continue using Unlimited World.
I start a lot of international travel tomorrow and it is a necessity I remedy this problem before I leave. Is there a link I am missing?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem, Unlimited World for years, I tried the same, to re-up my credit to call to mobile phones numbers not included in my Unlimited World Subscription but that fails 10 days ago, I didn't try it again since I still had credit, but today when I am calling to a phone number covered by my subscription I realize that my subscription was canceled without any notice, expending all my skype credit. and now I am unable to restore my subscription.
Please help

I've been subscribed to Skype premium with unlimited world for a long time now, then just got an email a few days ago, saying I got a free upgrade, and now I can't make any calls - tells me I have to 'buy credit' every time I try making any call I used to make included in my package... What happened?? I'm very frustrated.

I am Premium subscriber and received the email saying free world access but when I try to ring Italy it asks for a payment. Do I have to activate something? Any help would be appreciated

Unlimited Europe does not cover cell phones in the UK. It only covers landlines. If you are calling cell phones you will need skype credit.
