Group calls free, cancelled Premium, getting charg...

Skype,
I signed up for Premium a month ago specifically for group calls. I now see group calls are for free. great! I immediately cancel Premium, and am now being told I have to pay through Jan 2015??
I'm assuming Skype saw this was going to happen and has a resolution for it. But a customer cancelling a service after Skype makes that service's most popular componant free should not result in the customer having to pay for it anymore one would think?
Solved!

I've recieved an email today detailing what's going to be happening to my Skype Premium subscription. The account will be automatically updated and I won't have to do anything myself.
A few changes to your Premium account
Group video calling is now free. But as a big thanks for being a Premium subscriber, we're giving you calling to countries around the world at no extra cost.
That means you'll get all the perks of Premium, plus unlimited1 calls to phones in over 60 countries/regions — all for the same rate you're paying now.
Here’s what you'll now get…
Unlimited1 calls to mobiles in 8 countries/regions and landlines in 63—see our full list.
Up to 10 people together on a group video call.2
Live chat support when you need it.3
The same great ad-free4 Skype you’re used to.
So, it seems for £41.26 per annum (what I'm paying now) I'll be getting the Skype World Unlimited (previously would have been £117.12).
I know some members are asking for refunds but it seems you're going to be getting Skype World Unlimited instead.
For me it's OK, but I would have preferred the option to upgrade to Unlimited Europe with calls to mobiles & landlines in Europe.

I too signed up for Skype premium and I can't find a way to cancel. Every month my credit card is charged $9.99...I tried to go to my settings and everything else on this page to cancel but nothing works. So do I have to call my credit card company to stop the recurring payments?

Video group calling - can t cancel the subscriptio...

guys....
i need help on that. whenever i try to cancel or go to settings for video group calling skype premium settings the page is not displayed. I don t think there is problem with my internet options settings because it says reload the page later. this thing comes every time i try to change the settings. i don t want group video calling subcription and some how get charged for that every month

I believe the fact that the option to cancel is not available on your account page is a bug, and I think Skype is aware of it.
Until/unless that gets fixed, contact Customer Service through this link to cancel your subscpription:

Group Calls Now Free to All Users

Does this mean I can cancel my premium account, as this was the primary reason I needed it?

Here's some more information on the changes to Group video calling: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling...
...and here's the summary of what happens to Skype Premium subscribers:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34454/what-s-new-with-group-video-calling
The Skype Premium subscription you had included an unlimited calling option to a country of your choice. This got upgraded to an "Unlimited World" subscription allowing you to call 60+ countries while keeping the same subscription price. If you don't think you will use the calling subscriptions please follow the instructions here to cancel your subscription. Then follow the instructions here to request a refund: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/how-do-i-request-a-refund

Downgraded to Free but am being charged for Premium

A few weeks ago, my spotify subscription was randomly downgraded to Free from Premium, however, the charges went through on my card for May, and I was just charged again on June 25th- yet, it's still Free. I've uninstalled, I've emailed a thousand times, nothing- no one is replying. My account page says my payment failed however, I have the charges on my credit card, my payment NEVER failed.
Super super frustrated.

In having the same problem and can't get any help besides the 'same email response' over and over ... Been going on for 3 months and PayPal is still paying!!

Skype Premium - Improved group calling?

Hi there,
I regularly host Skype calls with 6-8 people across four continents (US, UK, East Africa and SE Asia). The sound quality is okay, but when the number of participants goes over 5+ people our calls tend to get dropped after a few minutes. It is a frustrating process of dialing back in.
I am thinking of upgrading to Skype Premium. I'm not interested in the video conferencing feature (the bandwith of my colleagues in Africa and Asia won't support that), but I am wondering whether the upgrade will improve our dropped calls situation?
Otherwise, does Skype have any other products or solutions to improve group calling or improve call quality in general?
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Skype Premium would not affect quality of your audio only group calls. So if you are not into group video calling, the live chat customer service option or advertising removal Skype Premium is not something for you.
Please follow the steps in this guide on improving call quality: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12097/solving-call-quality-problems-windows-desktop

Have Premium Subscription and Cannot Group Call

I have premium and cannot conduct group calls. I am on a mac and use a pc too...neither one works.
I cannot form groups and I cannot add to a video call that I am on.
Anyone have a way to contact Skype for this. I am considering canceling my credit card payment as this is most frustrating. I never had a problem until now but I haven't conducted a group call in a few months.
Please help....

How can i get charged when my device is still suspended and no call is made?

Hello, Verizon
I have to complain that I was charged $106.09 for this month's statement.
But my device (removed) is still suspended, up until this week as far as I know, and I have made no call. How could I get charged for the month until April 9? I am currently not in the US territory.
It must be a mistake to charge me the groundless amount. Please double check.

ashurbanipal,
Thank you for the information. We definitely want to figure out what has happened, because you should be able to suspend for up to 90 days before the service is reconnected. For review please follow my handle TonyG_VZW and send me a DM with your account info and billing password so I can review your account. I am sure we can figure out what is going on together.
Thank you,

Hi there JByrd,
Let's take a closer look into this. What plan are you currently on? If you are on the More Everything plan, then you shouldn't have to do anything additional. If you are on the Nationwide plan it is an additional $20 a month for 2 GB of data. Let us know what plan you have. Thanks!

Hey Erin how about you confirm to Elector and others that you HAVE to pay for tethering on Nationwide plans and that if you are using a 3rd tethering app to bypass paying you are violating the terms of service. They don't seem to believe me.

I keep getting charged for free games

I am always trying to get charged for free games??

Are you asking this because your Apple ID password is requested before downloading the free game?
Downloading any app requires the password. Also required is a payment method filed with Apple. For free apps, games included, you will not be charged.

I get charged for $9.99 each month and i have no idea what that is. It has been a long time since I used abode products so I am really not sure it is a product I purchased before. But I would like to cancel whatever it is on my account and stop the payment please. Thank you~

This is an open forum, not Adobe support... You need Adobe support to cancel a subscription
