I used up all minutes with a monthly subscription ...

My question is if there is a way to continue calling WITHOUT using skype credit after using up all minutes of subscriptions. Is there any?
Here's my situation:
I purchased a monthly subscription and the service started 3/11/15. I used up all the 400 minutes on 4/2/15. With an intension of starting a NEW subscription that would start 4/2, I first cancelled the existing subscription (that started on 3/11/15 and was scheduled to renew on 4/11/15) and received an email confirmation for that. Then, I got a new subscription (for the same country and for the same duration which is one month as the initial one) and confirmed that it was charged on my paypal account. I also received an email notification for the subscription delivery. It said the transaction date was 4/3/15. So I thought I could start calling on 4/3.
Today is 4/3 and I still can't call. I checked my account, and to my surprise, it has been updated to show that my initial subscription is back!? That is the one that starts on the 11th of the month, and the current remaining minutes shows as 0 (zero.) It tells me that I will be able to start calling on 4/11. It appears that my attempt to cancel one subscription and get a new one (with a new start date) did not work since the initial one appears to keep coming back.
Isn't it possible to cancel an existing subscription completely and sign up a new one with a new start date?  I'm trying not to purchase skype credit together with subscriptions.
Thanks

1. If I cancel my existing 400 minutes to Japan landline subscription today 4/3, and sign up for a new one for 120 minutes today 4/3, when will I be able to start using the new subscription? Is it alomost "instant?"
2. how will I get the refund for the initial subscription? Will it be refunded automatically, or do I have to go through special procedure for refund request?
3. what time zone am I supposed to use when you say "your minutes will be added on April 12th 2015." What time of what time zone on 4/12/15?
Hello
1. You don't have to cancel your existing 400 minutes Subscription unless you want to. You can have both. Yes - the new one will be activated within 1 to 2 hours of purchase.
2. Subscriptions aren't refundable. If you wish to stop the recurring payments you should cancel the Subscription at your account page. Cancellation will be effective on your current billing period renewal date.
3. One minute after midnight UTC/GMT.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

    I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back? I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
    Thank you.

    What do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.

  • What's with the monthly subscription? Can we no longer just buy the program as a one-time fee?

    What's with the monthly subscription? Can we no longer just buy the program as a one-time fee?

    Yes you can, but they have made it very confusing as to that option (trying to get folks to use subscription -- please let them know what you think of this policy). The link is at http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html. The default is the subscription, but if you click on the "I want to buy" drop down list there is both the full and upgrade versions available. It is so confusing that if you don't know it is available you would probably never find it. I did not find it until some other MVPs pointed it out and several of us have complained.

  • Lost use of all extensions with update to 3.6.11 ... Add ons window is locked

    This morning, FF updated to 3.6.11. When I loaded FF no add ons were visible on the upper or lower tool bars. When I opened the Add Ons window, it locks up and will not allow me to access any options, disable, or uninstall. It also does not allow me to check for updates.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Trying to create table using Union All Clause with multiple Select stmts

    The purpose of the query is to get the Substring from the value for eg.
    if the value is *2 ASA* then it should come as ASA
    where as if the value is *1.5 TST* the it sholud come as TST like wise for others too.
    I am trying to execute the below written SQL stmt but getting error as:
    *"ORA-00998 must name this expression with the column alias 00998.00000 - Must name this expression with the column alias"*
    CREATE TABLE TEST_CARE AS
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =5
    UNION ALL
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7

    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =14
    UNION ALL
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3),LEN FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7 AND old_care_lvl ='Regular'
    I want to create the table using the above given multiple select using the Union ALL clause but when trying to create run the query getting error as "ORA-00998 must name this expression with the column alias 00998.00000 - Must name this expression with the column alias"
    Please guide me how to approach to resolve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    When you create a table using a SELECT statement the column names are derived from the SELECT list.
    Your problem is that one of your columns is an expression that does not work as a column name SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3)What you need to do is alias this expression and the CREATE will pick up the alias as the column name, like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEST_CARE AS
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3) column3, len FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =5
    UNION ALL
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7
    UNION ALL
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3), len FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =14
    UNION ALL
    SELECT row_id, old_care_lvl,SUBSTR(old_care_lvl,3),LEN FROM test_care_lvl
    WHERE LENGTH(old_care_lvl) =7 AND old_care_lvl ='Regular'
    );You may not like the name "column3" so use something appropriate.

  • Left over minutes on Skype Monthly Subscription

    I recently purchased a monthly Skype subscription to call Vietnam while my partner was there for his job. It was a 400 minute package and due to a change of work plans, he is leaving Vietnam and there are still 60 minutes left on the month's subscription. I know rates vary from country to country, but is there anyway that this credit could somehow be transferred to my normal Skype credit outside of the subscription? It just seems like a waste of money to not be able to utilize those minutes in some small way since they were paid for. Suggestions? Answers? Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks so much!

  • Problem with Unlimited Monthly subscription

    Hi Ikillthehulk,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    Nokia Music Unlimited is only available in 3 countries: China, Indonesia and India. Here's a detailed explanation for this:
    It is not the case that all phones of a particular model in the world have the exactly same software, each has a product code which identifies it as belonging to a particular country and may have certain customised features and/or apps included as part of the software to suit local market conditions and needs.
    There are two ways in which Nokia Music Unlimited can be available to a particular phone:
    It is provisioned in the factory when the phone is manufactured, which is what happens in the majority of cases and is true of Lumia 710, 800 and 900 models being produced for the Indian market with the latest software already installed.
    It is added to the phone as part of a software update, as was the case with Indian Lumia 710 and 800 models with the latest update.
    Nokia Music services are limited to specific countries due to the licensing agreements that exist with the record companies who own the rights to the music. For this reason, only phones manufactured for sale in India are factory-provisioned for Nokia Music India services, and only Indian product codes were provisioned for Indian Nokia Music Unlimited services as part of the recent update.
    Buying a phone abroad sometimes gives you the advantage of having a particular model before others in your country, but buying a phone at home ensures that you are able to take advantage of special services intended for your home market, like Nokia Music Unlimited in India, and also ensures that you have full warranty support in your home country. - michaels

  • Extra minutes for 12 month subscription: 240 min b...

    Hi Experts,
    What's wrong here: I bought a 60 min subscription and paid for 12 months.
    Before I paid for that, it was disaplayed in two places (I have screen shot), saying: Buy 12 months now and get 240 extra minutes per month.
    After I paid for that, it was displayed in my subscription: 15 extra minutes per month.
    How big a difference it is? Why?

  • Skype Credit used before monthly subscription

    Hi. I have Skype credit (Australian $) which I bought for ringing various countries.
    However, I also have a monthly subscription for calls from New Zealand to Sweden. Whenever I call Sweden, Skype deducts from my Skype credit rather than from my monthly 120 minutes allowance provided by my monthly subscripition.
    How do I get Skype to use my free minutes (from my monthly subscription) FIRST?

    Hi, greumb, and welcome to the Community,
    Please check  that your subscription covers calls to the Swedish number you are trying to reach - some subscriptions cover calls to land lines (also known as fixed lines), for example, and not mobile numbers.  If it does, please contact Skype customer service to report this issue.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • For All Entries with two tables

    Hi All,
             Can we use FOR ALL ENTRIES with two tables. for example
    SELECT * FROM MKPF INTO TABLE T_MKPF
             WHERE BUDAT IN S_BUDAT.
    SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE T_MARA
             WHERE MTART IN S_MTART AND
                            MAKTL IN S_MAKTL.
    SELECT * FROM MSEG INTO TABLE T_MSEG
           FOR ALL ENTRIES IN  "T_MKPF AND T_MARA"
                  WHERE MBLNR EQ T_MKPF-MBLNR AND
                                 MATNR EQ T_MARA-MATNR.
    can we do it like this or any other way to do this plz tell. I waitting for your responce.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    u cannot do like this....chek some documentation on it..
    1. duplicate rows are automatically removed
    2. if the itab used in the clause is empty , all the rows in the source table will be selected .
    3. performance degradation when using the clause on big tables.
    Say for example you have the following abap code:
    Select * from mara
    For all entries in itab
    Where matnr = itab-matnr.
    If the actual source of the material list (represented here by itab) is actually another database table, like:
    select matnr from mseg
    into corresponding fields of table itab
    where ….
    Then you could have used one sql statement that joins both tables.
    Select t1.*
    From mara t1, mseg t2
    Where t1.matnr = t2.matnr
    And T2…..
    So what are the drawbacks of using the "for all entires" instead of a join ?
    At run time , in order to fulfill the "for all entries " request, the abap engine will generate several sql statements (for detailed information on this refer to note 48230). Regardless of which method the engine uses (union all, "or" or "in" predicates) If the itab is bigger then a few records, the abap engine will break the itab into parts, and rerun an sql statement several times in a loop. This rerun of the same sql statement , each time with different host values, is a source of resource waste because it may lead to re-reading of data pages.
    returing to the above example , lets say that our itab contains 500 records and that the abap engine will be forced to run the following sql statement 50 times with a list of 10 values each time.
    Select * from mara
    Where matnr in ( ...)
    Db2 will be able to perform this sql statement cheaply all 50 times, using one of sap standard indexes that contain the matnr column. But in actuality, if you consider the wider picture (all 50 executions of the statement), you will see that some of the data pages, especially the root and middle-tire index pages have been re-read each execution.
    Even though db2 has mechanisms like buffer pools and sequential detection to try to minimize the i/o cost of such cases, those mechanisms can only minimize the actual i/o operations , not the cpu cost of re-reading them once they are in memory. Had you coded the join, db2 would have known that you actually need 500 rows from mara, it would have been able to use other access methods, and potentially consume less getpages i/o and cpu.
    In other words , when you use the "for all entries " clause instead of coding a join , you are depriving the database of important information needed to select the best access path for your application. Moreover, you are depriving your DBA of the same vital information. When the DBA monitors & tunes the system, he (or she) is less likely to recognize this kind of resource waste. The DBA will see a simple statement that uses an index , he is less likely to realize that this statement is executed in a loop unnecessarily.
    Beore using the "for all entries" clause and to evaluate the use of database views as a means to:
    a. simplify sql
    b. simplify abap code
    c. get around open sql limitations.

  • Why i can not use my 400 minutes to turkey subscri...

    Hi
    some how skype charged my credit card for the existing subscription which i ve been using for few months,and eventhough its charged on the fifth of april but in my account subscription minutes will be ready by eight of april.between 5-8 of april i can not use my subscription minutes.why i cant use my minutes eventhough skype charged me already for it.
    This is very disturbing,and i m looking forward to hear any good new for my situation.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards;

    You purchased 400 minutes to be used per month not 400 minutes to be used whenever.  Just like any cell phone plan if you use up your allocated minutes for the month you cannot use the minutes for the following month instead you have to wait or pay for minutes at a premium or upgrade/change your plan.  The same goes for Skype.  If you use up your minutes for the month then you would have to use credit if you've exhausted your minutes for the month.  Billing is always done 3 days earlier most likely to ensure that service is not interrupted.   Subscription exhaustion is what caused your interruption.  Your next 400 minutes will not start until your new cycle begins which is 3 days after the billing date.   It will work like this as long as you have the subscription.  Even if you cancel the subscription the old subscription will be in effect until the current cycle ends.

  • Extended suspension of monthly subscription

    Hello everyone!
    I have a problem with the monthly subscription. Last time I used skype to call I used the last minutes I had on my account. It was a couple of days ago, and my subscription was suspended with the following information:
    "Your subscription has been suspended as you have exceeded your allocated free minutes. Your free minutes will start again on Nov 1, 2013."
    That was understandable, as it starts on the first day of the month. Nevertheless, today, the information has been changed to:
    "Your subscription has been suspended as you have exceeded your allocated free minutes. Your free minutes will start again on Nov 2, 2013."
    How can this happen? Anyone experienced the same problems? I did not make a mistake, that is certain, as I always take a screenshot of my account, just in case. Is this some kind of scam to make users buy another subscription or pay extra?
