Should I buy Skype credit here in Australia before...

I'm going to France, Italy and Morocco for a 6 wks holiday.
Should I purchase Skype credit here in Australia or wait and do it there? I want to be able to use my iPhone to make a few calls to landlines or mobiles if the need arises. 
Are there any problems with purchasing credit overseas using an iPhone? 

Buy it in the country you'll be using it in.

  • Re: Can't buy Skype Credit

    Hi Claudius,I am wondering if you can help ,I have been trying ,for weeks ,to buy more credit,I am in touch with Customer Service for the last week,and the only advice I am getting from them is to check my cookies,etc.
    I have told them ,over and over,that I have done that,and more,I have used several computers,laptops and iPad,and disabled cookies and protected mode,to do this operation.
    All of them stop short from transferring funds from PayPal to my Skype account,and the message I am getting is:
    Something went wrong here
    What that is,they will not tell me!
    Now,I have done this several times this year and before,and seldom I had any problems.
    I still have around $ 16 on my account,as credit.
    Can you be more creative than your customer service people,that basically are giving me the standard "computerized" answer?
    Right now I have no clue what is the problem that the Skype page has with accepting my payments,they have done it a number of times before,and this is just a pain in the neck,and that is an overly decent statement.
    Thanks
    Alberto

    Same problem. When using mastercard or visa, the error is "Something went wrong there".
    When using PayPal, the transaction is OK, but after that, Skype refund the money... So, the money go from my bank account immediate, and after 3-7 days go back.
    My cards are OK, my PayPal is OK, but Skype refuse the payment when using credit cards and refund the payments when using PayPal. From the live chat - technical support they say that nothing is wrong with my skype account and to try after 24h... They see that skype refund the money charget with PayPal, but they can not explain why.
    As I see, this issue occurs since 2012... Just do a search with Google:
    "Something went wrong there" skype
    Or...
    Can't buy Skype credit
    But, no explanation from technical support, just suggestions for change browser or the computer... or try after 24h...
    I will try tomorrow again Any other suggestion?

  • Can no longer buy skype credit in Canadian Dollars...

    I bought my computer 4 years ago in China.  Over there, I paid using my former Chinese bank account.
    18 months ago I returned to Canada and started buying skype credit using my Canadian Visa paying in CDN Dollars.
       The past six months however I cannot buy credit because the payment page it switches to is the Skype China website requesting payment in RMB.   
    For five months I was able to use skype by turning on the auto recharge option, where my Canadian visa details are stored.  Last month, however, the skype system recharged 14 CDN Dollars, but at the same time cancelled the auto recharge.  Now, the system does not let me start up the auto recharge.
    On my skype account page on the top right I see the skype China payment company's logo.  Clicking the logo, a sign appears saying:  "This company gives you more payment options." (in English)    My Visa credit card is valid and not part of the problem.  What is the problem?

     Hello,
    please contact Skype customer service who will de-link your account from the Chinese website.

  • 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.

    i got this error message when buying skype credit.
    "An internal error occurred.
    Sorry, but we were unable to start your payment. Please try again later."
    any help would be appreciated.

    I have a similar problem, Skype tells me everything is fine with my account but it isn't, I can't purchase additional credit and I'm running out!
    I've been using Skype for longer than I care to remember all over the world, then Microsoft came along...lots of advertsing banners...lots of tinkereing which the say "will improve our experiance"  (offensive text removed).
    Please don't ask me to send a screen shot it will not help, what will help is putting pressure on the Microsoft (offensive text removed) to fix this problem. I've been trying to buy credit for several days now and it will not log me into the final checkout screen.

  • Trying to buy Skype credit but it wants me to pay ...

    I'm trying to buy Skype credit, but every time I click on the link to buy skype credit, it takes me to a ".tw" page and only gives me the option of buying skype credit in TWD. I'm living in the U.S., and I've changed every single location/address setting I could find to reflect that, but Skype still thinks I'm in Taiwan and requires me to enter in Taiwan-related information that I do not have. How can I fix this?

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    That's because you created your account in Taiwan. please contact Skype customer service and ask that your account be unlinked from our Taiwanese Partner.

  • Payment history and refunds - Buying SKYPE credit - SITE HIJACKED FOR SKYPE

    Post transferred to the Skype Account: Rates & Subscriptions message board.

    If you are in countries like Taiwan and China you will be redirected to a Skype partner page to buy credits.  It's based off location, is intentional and generally mandated by the country .  If you are attempting to purchase credit (not in that area) from the Skype application and all the links still refer you to the partner then your account may be tied to those countries.  If it is and you do not reside in those countries then you would want to contact Skype Customer Service to ensure your account is properly reconfigured.  If you are in China, Taiwan or in that region and are unable to purchase credit then the only way around these limitations imposed by Skype, the ISP/country is to purchase credits using a Proxy/VPN for a country outside of the area or use/stock up on vouchers when you travel. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170

  • How can I prevent the "Buy Skype Credit" link from...

    Recently, I would like to add more credit to my Skype account, since my credit card limit has reached, I would like to change another credit card for the skype payment. But the Skype website kept redirecting me to the Taiwanese Skype website. To add credit and setup automatic payment with Taiwanese Skype website, it asked for detailed personal information, but its page kept complaining about my Taiwanese address with this message "Please enter the correct address!"
    This s*cking website was so annoying that I would rather use the US website for purchasing credit. However, the website just won't stop redirecting me yo Taiwanese Skype site no matter how I set the language of my browser or location of the Skype account. Is there anyway to resolve this issue? No more Taiwanese Skype site!

    I have a similar Mac mini setup running Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) and I do NOT see that message?
    Making a wild guess, by any chance did you configure a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse?
    The equipment I have connected to my Mac mini are the ethernet cable and a USB External disk (Drobo w/3TB). Nothing else is attached to my Mac mini.
    I only had a keyboard/monitor/mouse connected once when I first set up my Mac mini. I have not needed to connect it to anything since then. And I do not see any messages about missing mouse

  • Why is it no longer possible to buy Skype Credit u...

    I am using Firefox as a web browser. Using that browser (my "preferred" or "standard" browser) I cannot click on anything when I open the page to add credit !!! I had to open an IE browser window where I did have all the buttons I needed. What the ??? is happening when a widely used browser doesn't permit me to add credit to my Skype account ??? Never had any problem ... Please help, thank you !

    Well, as I wanted to make sure it wasn't my FireFox version (although it already was the most recent version available), I did a fresh download and install of FireFox just now (so it's version 31.0 something - when I click Help and About FireFox it says it's up to date). That's also the reason why it took me a few days before I could reply (it wasn't the right time to update FireFox "just in case").
    Anyway, after doing that (and checking that I don't have funny addons or extensions - at least none that weren't there for at least a year or 2) I tried again and still impossible to add credit. The weird thing is that all the rest works. Checking history, logs and even (!!!) activating auto reload (if I wanted that but I don't). Go figure !
    Well, in the meantime I already found a workaround by using IE for topping up credit. I'll just have to wait till FireFox updates again and then I'll try again ... I'll keep you posted y'all. The only thing that makes me tick off is that it doesn't make sense PLUS the fact that you have no problem with adding credit ... weird !
    Thanks for the feedback !!!
    I'll let you know if anything changes.
    Kind regards.
