How much is this connection fee?
I believe SKYPE can reconsider about this "SMALL! connection fee", calls are connected by the caller through the hardware and software and the systems are in place by default . Hence the OLD STYLE of a person connecting the call is farsical. SKYPE being a premier in this environment and getting popularity would benifit if they remove this SMALL connection fee. Now with all automated systems it is not justifiable to charge a CONNECTION FEE on top of the calling fee per minute or second ?
TO ALL READER OF THIS MESSAGE PLEASE VOICE YOUR SUPPORT TO CONVINCE SKYPE TO LISTEN. ALTERNATIVELY WE MIGHT GO TO "VIBER" ENMASS NO FEE.

Hi,
A connection fee is charged when you use Skype Credit to call a mobile or landline. Connection fees are charged according to the currency set in your Skype account.
There are two different kinds of connection fees in Skype:
Global Rate countries
Non-Global Rate countries
For more information on how to find which connection fee applies to the country you are calling, visit: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1050
Connection fees are also subject to the following conditions:
If the call lasts less than one second, the call is not charged.
If the call lasts more than one second, the connection fee is calculated based on your account currency.
If your currency is not set, the connection fee will be calculated in Euros.
If your billing address is within the EU, the connection fee is subject to 15% VAT – so for example, the actual cost for a connection fee of €0.039 (the global rate) would be €0.045. However, since your Skype Credit has been subject to 15% VAT at the time of purchase, you would see the amount of €0.039 deducted from your Skype Credit.
If a call is declared to be free of charge (such as a promotion or 0800 number) the connection fee is not charged.
If you have one of our Unlimited subscriptions, the connection fee is not charged for the calls covered by the subscription.
If you need further clarifications, you may contact our Customer Support directly through this link: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1170
Hope this helps.

Connection fee for free one month trial

Hi, I just signed up for one month free unlimited world calling. I wanted to know if a connection fee applies for calls under this plan.
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand that you have subscribed with Azure and started to use Free one Month trial. However , you wanted to keep it for later use.
This is not possible because the Free trial expires in 30 days and Microsoft azure will suspend the free trial account. You can optionally upgrade your trial to be a Pay-As-You-Go Azure subscription at this point if you want to continue
Or if you wanted to use only the Free trail, then you might have to subscribe with another Live ID [ email address ] which is active for 30 days.
If you are a student, Microsoft Azure Education Grants might help which are focused on enabling educators to easily leverage the benefits of the Microsoft Azure for curriculum development and teaching. Through these grants, educators can obtain easy access,
with no Credit Card required, to the Microsoft Azure for an extended period of time at no cost for themselves and their students. Access to the Microsoft Azure is made possible through 5-month Microsoft Azure Academic Passes. Educator Grants may be available

Connection fee for free Skype Credit

Hi,
I recently got free Skype Credits to call landlines or mobile for up to 75 minutes. However, I would like to check if the connection fees will be deducted from this credit, since the website states that 'Calls made as part of any of our subscriptions are exempt from connection fees.'
Thanks for your assistance

Hi Andre,
So will it be deducted from the credit, or as a separate charge? Thanks for the info!
From Skype Credit. When making calls with Skype Credit you have 2 charges:
1) Rate per minute: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/payg-rates/
2) Connection fee per call: http://www.skype.com/go/connectionfee
This is why I would recommend a subscription if you are making lot of calls. With subscriptions you only make 1 payment monthly, every 3 months or yearly and you don't need to worry about connection fee.

Moving house connection fee?

Well basically i've moved home and they couldn't promise my infinity because flat I was moving too wasn't listed as having a phoneline (Had it in my previous house) so they said what we'll do is put you down for regular broadband install it and if infinity is there then you can call us and just upgrade. The engineer came by and did install a phone line because there wasn't one.
Now i've checked my account recently and it says connection fee of 130? i'm confused I thought it was free, it was with infinity and the customer service agent on the phone told me yeah it'll be free no problems.
I'm not sure if this happened on my first infinity statement because I don't remember checking it, I think it just said connection fee 130 then said below -130 because it's free with the package.
What's going on here? I sincerely hope I they won't be asking for a connection fee or I would have gone with virgin instead. I was told there would be no fee.

£130 Connection Fee - Waived But Not For Long.....

Good evening all,
I really do hope someone can help me out with this problem I am currently having with regards to a connection fee charge.
I have been a BT landline customer since 2007 and up until a few months ago had not encountered a single problem hence when this occurred I genuinely thought it would take one single phenomenal to fix. Unfortunately this was not the case.
The problem started when I moved address and entered my new property on the 31st of July, approximately 6 miles away from my old address. Along with the usual things like SKY TV etc, all my services were taken care of by 'Home Move' teams, BT seemed to be the most difficult to negotiate. Because I was moving to a different exchange area, I would have to cancel my long standing account and open a new one. I spoke to a few UK staff members on call and there was no mention of a charge.
After longing and hoping that I did not have to wait too long for a phone connection in my new apartment so that I could get my broadband up and running, I was told on call that an engineer would have to come out and install a line within the property so booked a day off work to be in the flat.
Even better than taking a day off to wait in all day, was the text message I received from 'BTSMS' stating that my "advised appointment on the 12-AUG 2011 between 1pm and 6pm is no longer required for order (VOL011-XXXXXXXXXXXX) Our records show that you already have a phone socket and wiring within your home and can complete the order without the need to visit."
Long story short, my phoneline was working in the flat (SKY tv requires an active line to access interactive services) so without BT actually needing to do anything, the line was in there already
The problem was, I soon received a bill in confirming there had been a £130 charge to my account. I called, waiting 50 minutes on the phone and spoke to Offshore (India) who were sympathetic to my situation and he seemed to understand what the problem was. He stated he would be able to reverse the charge.
No sooner had 48 hours passed and I received another bill through the post explaining I HAD been charged £130 for a connection fee.
I subsequently went through the rigmarole of phoning Offshore, speaking to 2 further administrators and a Manager who promised to look into my queries, even pulling the necessary phenomenal to listen to and call me back - I never received a call back.
That in itself, for one of the worlds largest communication companies, unable to call a customer back, is just plain ignorant.
I have steered away from contacting the Office of Fair Trading, OFCOM etc as I do believe this to be an easily rectifiable mistake but I have lost hope and require guidance please from anyone that may have been through this before.
Thank you.

Connection fee

without a skype number when i call romania it has a .30 connection fee from the us if i have a skype number do i still pay a .30 connection fee

This should not be the case, if you have the subscription and are calling a U.S. number and you are in compliance with the FUP ("Fair Useage Policy").
Please see this: http://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10416/Why-isn-t-my-subscription-working
Are you using a leading 1 with your number? What does the flag look like in the call window, is it a U.S. flag?

$35 connection fee

Just looked at my monthly bill. I added a phone that I already had, no contract needed, to my plan. Whats this $35 connection fee? The guy in the verizon store didn't care to tell me anything about this.

I agree - we added a line for one of our kids, then it turned out they didn't need it. Within 24hours we canceled the line. We were not told of the $35 if so we probably would have just helped our child out and gotten them a track phone for less than that. Verizon didn't even get the billing correct, which it would of been just $9.99 for an extra line no extras and they charged us double that. That was taken off but they still have not called us back about the $35 activation fee that we were not told of either & they said they were going to have someone call back. Now they have charged us a $5 late fee on that portion we did not pay. Very frustrating to say the least...

Connection Fee for Skype Pro

I have been a Skype Pro user for years and have just realized just now that I have been paying a "connection fee" when making "FREE" local calls.
Chatting with a customer support person was useless.
If paying a monthly fee, then rid the "connection fee".
I am planning on taking this further.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've been a Skype uaser since it's first beta public release and put a fair amount of money towards the service in Skype credit, when it was worth it.
As no good deed goes unpunished, I have never-ever received such inept "support" from any legit or non-legit operation. Count on Microsoft to screw up anyhting that used to be good and replace it with a faceless, suportless thingie that nowadays gives NSA a backdoor into it, to top things off.
Anyways, here is my take on it with Kenneth, the useless rep that kept reciting the menaingless mantra that this disgraced company calls "support":
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Re: SRX1218625810ID - Skype Pro subscription useless
Kenneth,
I would really like to talk to a supervisor / manager regarding this issue, which in my opinion is abusive and illegal billing.
You are now a Microsoft product and as such you should be abiding by US consumer laws, which are similar to the ones we have in Canada and offer consumer protection against scams like this.
Why does Skype keep charging me every month when the service I'm paying for is no longer offered?
And why wasn't I offered a credit or an upgrade based on the money I've invested in the "service"?
Please provide a path of escalation to this issue and / or an email address or phone number for someone in management that can answer these question and bring a resolution to the problem.
If I don't a response within 72 hrs - and I don't mean the kind of answers you are giving me, I will use every means at my disposal to discredit Skype for illegal billing practices and lack of actual customer support.

Thank you for your response.
Upon checking your account, your Skype Pro started year 2008. Skype Pro is not offered anymore that is why it doesn't recognize you as a premium user. You can upgrade to other available subscription so you will be able to use other feature of Skype.
We will be waiting for your response.

Need ANI details of calls landing during Out of business hours

Hello All,
Our Contact Center management has raised a new requirement to report with the ANI details of calls landing at any skill groups during put of business hours.
Options that we have is
1. Webview report - Call Type 22 and 23
But in this, If we specify put of business timings and generate the report it will give the number of calls and not its ANI.
2. Call detail report from our custom report application.
Here the problem is, this report will give details of calls landing during business hours alone. The reason is that only the calls that utilizes VXML ports in CVP gets to this custom report. The calls coming in during of hours is handled at ICM level and to play the out of office hours prompt it utilizes CVP port not VXML and terminates the call.
Is there any way to get this ANI details without having to modify this custom report much. Please assist in this. Let me know if you need any more details.

That's pretty strange.
Let's just see how you are doing this. Once you detect the out of hours situation in your Routing Script (either by checking a Global variable refreshed by an Admin script or by having a Time of Day node directly in the routing script), do you set a Call Type?
Then after setting the call type, I assume you play a CVP message and Release the call. Correct?
When you query the TCD on this call type you should only see your after hours calls. Let's look at one of the calls.
You should see two rows in the TCD, one with the DNIS of your number on the gateway, or from the PSTN carrier, and one with the VRU transfer label (say 8111111111) - maybe that's in the DigitsDialed column, I'm not in front of an HDS database and can't check. This is all you should see for a call that comes out of hours.
Both these legs should have the same RouterCallKey with different RouterCallKeySequenceNumbers.
Do you see this?
What is happening with another call at a similar time with a different RouterCallKey ? That doesn't make sense.
Maybe you could do a query and show us the output?
Regards,
Geoff

Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.
