Getting Skype credit to an overseas employee

I live in the USA and have an employee, a 'virtual assistant' who lives in India. I want him to be able to make Skype phone calls to the USA from his home in India. How do I do that? Do I use Skype credit? If so, how do I make the credit available to him?

You might look at == Skype Manager == fot that purpose.

Call – you need to get Skype Credit to call this n...

(1) I have Skype Credit so the message is an error.
I used Version 7.0 (653) - and OS is Maverick with latest patches and amendments.
But the problem is that I can just pick up my Android phone and call the same contact. The bug is on Mac, and I only use Mac, iPhone and Android. When will the problem be fixed?
I request others with a similar issue to reply - remember Skype and OS version, and bluntly would prefer to place this on the main page, since this is most likely an issue with specific releases of Skype - on all platforms.

It happened to one number, but I have noticed problems when calling people that has placed Skype on call forward. Phrased another way: I cannot just call anyone to reproduce the error.
Calling the number directly works fine.
I do not recommend you use the latest versions of Skype. This reflects an immature attitude to testing typical for US companies. You never learn that if you restrict the release to a few selected individuals, you get a manageable feedback, which allows you to correct more errors. Then select more and gradually roll out to everyone - at least in three stages. The result is that after a very short time you loose control over the code, and are inundated with user complaints.

Call – you need to get Skype Credit

Hi I'm new to SKYPE and need help with the following.
When I try to make a call to a mobile or landline numbers I receive the following message. I have a Premium account. Is there a setting that I may not have actioned? Also how can you get direct access the SKYPE administration officers to resolve this sort of issue.
Cheers,

Skype credit - NOT

I added $10 US to my credit 2 days ago. I received an email notification "we're happy to confirm your payment and we've updated your balance". I have logged into "my account" "Purchase History" which shows the $20US as "delivered". but when I log onto Skype, in the top left corner of the window there is just $0.08 listed as my credit, and when i try to make international phone calls the call is immediately cut off, and I get a message"you need to get skype credit to make this phone call"!!
Please fix this!

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
I can see at your account that the $10.00 credit purchase transaction has been completed but that the credit has not been applied. Try logging off from your account, waiting for 5 minutes and then logging on again to force the client to refresh. This usually works.

I have the same problem. I am trying to call a phone number in Europe from the US and have almost $20.00 USD in Skype Credit. Every time I get the message "you need to get Skype Credit to call this number".

How to get a Skype credit refund: my Mac is no lon...

Skype normally does not give refunds unless credit was purchased in the last 15 days. However, I can no longer use Skype credit because of Skype policy: Skype will not allow my Mac to connect, it has disabled by version of Skype.
I cannot upgrade (in spite of Skype's idiotic messages telling me to do so), because Skype no longer has software that works on My PowerPC Mac running Mac OS 10.4.
Skype's page on Mac OS 10.4 says to contact "customer service",
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34492/
but only provides a link to a page with the normal policy on refunds.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/
It's unfair to prevent me from using Skype, then prevent me from getting a refund on a credit Skype will not allow me to use.
How can I get a refund?

Have you ever read "Catch 22"? Or "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"? Or anything by Kafka?
Because telling anyone to contact Skype Customer Service is telling them to take a trip through the surreal, which will achieve nothing. It is essentially not possible to "contact Skype customer service". The closest I've gotten is an online chat with someone who would not read what I wrote (asking questions I'd already answered) and who ultimately said Skype policy prevented him from granting a refund.
So, Skype gets to take my money, but refuses to allow me to use its service, by disabling my software, and then refuses to refund my money.
I don't care what the terms of service say. Almost anyone would think that highly unethical, and many would consider it stealing.

Simultaneous subscription and Skype credit

I use Skype extensively for business calls within the U.S. and also internationally during frequent trips abroad. I don't use international calling consistently enough to justify an international subscription but an unlimited subscription for U.S. calls would make sense. Can I have an unlimited U.S. subscription that automatically revert to using Skype credit when I try to call home from overseas?

Dear Skype employees,
I joined the Skype Community because that was the only way to contact you. on August 26th I subscribe for Russia 120 min And on September 26th I renewed the subscription For $5.49. After that I cancelled my Russia 120 min subscriptAfter I did not make any called after I renewed it. On my account says that I can continue to make calls until it expires on October 29th, 2013. However, when I am trying to make a call the system does not allow it to me, says that I don't have enough Skype Credit to call thi number.
I expect Skype either return money I paid for a subscription or restore Russia 120 min for mother month that I paiD and didn't use.

Can't add skype credit

Hi guys, I've been having some issues with my skype credit. During the last week, my credit has been automatically delivered and then reversed without me trying to add any credit and without my credit going under the $4.00 limit. I contacted live chat and they said I should change my password and email for security reasons. I did that and today I had the same problem but my skype credit went to 0 from $10. I decided to remove all stored payment details just in case and then re add them by buying more credit. Unfortunately it has been impossible to add credit again using my credit cards, since that is my preffered method of recharging my account.
I get the "Please check your order details and try again, or get in touch if you need help." message. I contacted live chat twice again and also called my bank to see if there was a problem with my card, but they assured me that all is good.Basically the live chat sends me to the bank and the bank sends me to live chat!!!
I've even tried recharging another skype account I have, to which I have never added credit before and still have the same problem.
I also tried a second credit card but no luck either.
Both cards were working fine till now.
Does anybody know any possible solution? It is very important to me because this is how I communicate with my family overseas.
Thanks in advance
Solved!

Please fix Skype Credit page - it does NOT load pr...

I cannot get the Skype Credit page to load on many of my personal computers (4 to be exact) and also seen this problem on some friends' computers too. I get a page with a "Loading" text and a blue dot above it. That is all.
What I've tried:
- Latest browsers (Chromium, Firefox, Opera)
- Latest Adobe Flash version
- older browsers (FF 3.6, FF 24, Opera 10/11, and IE
The results are consistent across these and the Skype Credit page simply refuses to load/display. All of my personal computers are virus and malware free. In fact, I recently did a fresh Windows 7 install on one of them, and tested the Skype Credit page right after that only to find it didn't work.
Is there some special requirement for that page? Java? Security settings?
Honestly, this is very frustrating! I have never had such problems with any other website before. And if a certain website didn't display properly for me in one browser, I never had problems getting it to work in a different browser.
I should note that *most* other Skype pages work (though not all of them). In any case, I really can't be bothered to go checking each one for you all. All I want to do is Log In so I can Buy some stupid Skype Credit.
Please give me some suggestions on what to do or how to go about this.

Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply. I finally had some time to troubleshoot the issue, and fortunately I found what was wrong .
But first, I must say that I am deeply ashamed, and I apologize to for coming here and blaming Skype, because it turns out the fault is completely mine. The problem was that a while back, a tech buddy of mine sent me his Windows "hosts" files (the hosts file allows a simple way to block unwanted and dangerous websites, as well as advertisements from loading on your computer). Most of the time, I do pay attention when I compile my hosts file, but this time I assumed my buddy's list of blocked websites was reasonable.
Turns out, he had the following entries in there (without the quotation marks):
"skypeassets.com"
"secure.skypeassets.com"
That means, any web page that needed to access these was blocked from loading. As a result, this is what broke the Skype Credit page.
I attached a screenshot to show what the Buy Skype Credit page looks like when it is blocked, so that way, if anyone has this issue and wonders why it's not working, check your hosts file (found in "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc").
The Buy Skype Credit page now seems to work fine in all of my browsers (Firefox 32, Firefox 24, Opera 12/11/10, and IE8 ). I also tested IE6 just for giggles, but it gives a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error. This is very common with IE6, though. I'm just stating this in case anyone is still running that dinosaur browser (please don't, it's not safe or compatible).
Thanks, and I hope this was somewhat helpful .

Problem with buying Skype credit.

I have tried to buy Skype credit several times, but no success. Everytime after I clicked the Continue button to make the purchase, it went to the page showing Loading and being frozen there.
Any help would be appreciated.
