Ive been paying for s Skype number that is still i...

I am never able to get through to skype customer support and am being billed since May 18th 2014 for a skype in number that is going through to its previous owner of 5 years!!
Skype is reselling numbers that are still active & in use by other people!
Is this common?
How can I get refunded for the scandel & also be provided with a new number that is only mine?
I am trying to run a UK business from Spain & this is losing me clients.

Why is it not active any longer?

How can I get a credit for time that I was billed, but it wasn't active?  
How can I prevent this from happening again?  
What happened to cause Skype to deactivate my phone number, even though I have been billed for it, and have paid for it??
Hi Gary,
I checked your account and here are the answers to your questions
1) Your Online Number is not active as it expired in the beginning of August. Your last payment was in 2010 for 12 months and more than a year has passed. Online Numbers need to be extended manually.
2) You can get a new number or the same number if nobody else has not purchased since August. You can purchase Online Number from: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number
3) This charge 2.99USD is paid every month for Unlimited US&Canada which enables you to place calls to US and Canada phones. It's extended automatically since you have not cancelled it so far: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1881/How-do-I-cancel-my-subscription
More information on how subscriptions work: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10414/How-do-subscriptions-work#3
4) In the future please make sure you extend your Online Number if you need it and make sure you cancel calling subscription if you don't need it.
5) Online Numbers are not extended automatically and since you didn't extend your number manually it expired. Calling subscriptions on the other had are extended automatically as advised during payment process.

If you need any help with your subscription or Online Number purchase then let us know.

  • Do I have to pay for a Skype number to enable me t...

    Hi there
    I am new to Skype and have signed up to buy Skype credit as I will only use Skype for dialling out fairly infrequently and therefore thought "pay as you go" was a good option.  However, when doing this it asked me to set up a Skype number and therefore pay the monthly charge to have the number, however, as I don't want to receive calls, only use it for dialling out, do I need to have a Skype number and pay this monthly charge or can I just add credit as and when I want to to enable me to dial out?  Please help!  Thanks

  • I pay for 3 skype numbers (have for 7+ years) only...

    I've been trying to get 'support' to help but the best they've been able to do is 'promise' to provide a voucher for 12 months of a third skype number. That *was* OK until I started getting emails from "Jack L" on the "Skype Tier 2 Team" asking for screen shots of the charge for 12 months that the web site asks for. I can't reply to his emails (from email address is a bunch of [email protected] - it bounces) so I've forwarded the screen shots to other support people I've worked with on the issue. This has been going on since December. Support request number is SRX1273613357ID / 4071137859 Looks - I'm over it. I have been paying for three skype numbers, every month since 2007. The details are in that ticket number. You can get Skype into every major motion picture released in 2014 I think you can set up my paid for subscription service.

    This is a community forum. Very few, if any can assist in account matters and payments. Most likely, it will be faster to contact customer service, and give them the case numbers you are reffering to:

    You might be lucky and get help here, but since noone in the community can do anything about this, you're better off with support I guess.

  • Old Skype Number that I do not want keeps getting ...

    I had a skype number that expired almost a year ago, but I keep getting autobilled for it.  Fortunately I did not have sufficient funds in my pay pal account.  How do I deactivate this?  I want to get a new number - but not until I can resolve this.  Please help!

    Hi, Eastriver,
    Thank you for your further explanation.  The fact that you do not see the Skype Number subscription on your Skype account details and purchase history is mystifying; please contact Skype customer service to sort this.
    The process ought to be as simple as cancelling a subscription:

  • I have been paying for two edge agreements for the past 3-4 months AND i have not gotten a reimbursment for anything...

      10/11/2013                      
    Debit Card Transaction
    VERIZON WRLS 08253-01 800-9220204 CA         10/09
    $92.30 
    On October 11th I started an EDGE agreement for the NOTE 3. I make a $92.30 payment over the phone (which is listed above). The lady said it would arrive two days after the phone comes out. It didn't show up two days after it came out and my little Droid X went dead on me. I called customer service and asked if the phone has been shipped yet. They said it has not. I asked if I could pick it up in the store instead. They said yes. They said they would cancel the shipment so I can pick it up in the store. I end up going to the store at Torrance Crossroads and I was just about to get the phone. Then sales rep was trying to force me into buying the case and charger package that was a deal with the phone for $100.I said no and he got hurt and quiet over it. 5 minutes later he comes up to me saying the edge agreement is not cancelled and they can not give me the phone. I asked if there is anything he can do or call customer service and verify because customer service told me it could be done. He said no and walked away.
    I call customer service and they say that they stopped the order and told me to go back to the store and try again. I did not wanna see the sales rep at Torrance Crossroads so I go to another Verizon store on hawthorne blvd in Torrance. I try the same process and the same thing happens. I tell them to call customer service and verify what is going on. I wait for 2 hours while they talk to customer service and the financial department. They tell me they will start another edge agreement on my girlfriends line and give me the note 3 so I can use it on my line. They said they waved the fee through some promotion since I went through a lot of trouble getting the phone and I should be getting a check in the mail for the $92.30 I paid on 10/11/13.
    Ever since then I have been paying for two edge agreements at $29.16 a piece. I have also been paying an extra $8 for insurance on a note 3 that I do not have. I have not gotten reimbursed the $92.30 I paid on 10/11/13. I have been calling customer service since December and have not gotten any where. Today was the last straw when the guy put me on hold and I ended up getting transferred to the sales department... What should I do? Is there anyone that can actually help my situation out. I already suspended my line and will do so for the next 5 months until this is fixed.

    @Dakotaep
    I am so sorry to hear of your experience with purchasing your new Samsung Galaxy Note 3!  This definitely should have been resolved in your first call to us.  I would be glad to review your account and ensure the Edge Agreement is corrected.  Please accept my "Follow" request and send me a direct message so I can further assist.  Thanks!

    Hi 
    I just signed up for a Skype number (which shows as active in my account), however, when finishing up the sign up for it and I completed the payment, I noticed it was going to send a confirmation email to my old email address which does not exist anymore.  How do I resend this email to my new (updated) email - I already changed it so the new email is my primary email address.??????

    Hi, Fdsportscast, and welcome to the Community,
    If the timeframe has passed for your new number to be activated,  you will need to contact Skype Customer Service to enquire further.  We here in the Community do not have access to the records which would provide explanation.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you intend to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

    Yeah, I'm 95% sure that I did that after I closed that Skype, so I was a bit shocked when I saw that screen pop up later :/
