Skype Number and Unlimited World

Hi Everyone, 
Hoping someone could give me some direction.  I was trying to get some skype help and this is the closest thing I could find.  I currently have a U.S skype number.  If I switch to unlimited world subcription, will my number change?  Is it free for other people to call that number? 

Hi, Gita_Chavda, and welcome to the Community,
If I switch to unlimited world subcription, will my number change?
No; a Skype Number subscription is a stand-alone subscription; in other words, it is not tied or bundled to other subscriptions.
Is it free for other people to call that number?
To clarify, a Skype Number is a fixed line or land line number.  Therefore, calls to the number will not incur toll charges if the number is in the caller's "local" calling range.  Otherwise, the caller should expect to incur toll charges.
Regards,
Elaine

  • Re: Skype Premium and Unlimited World subscription

    I HAVE A SKYPE PREMIUM ACCOUNT. BUT I WANT TO CONVERT IT INTO UNLIMITED WORLD SUBSCRIPTION. CAN I USE MY REMAINING CREDIT FROM SKYPE PREMIUM TO TRANSFER INTO UNLIMITED WORLD CALL SUBSCRIPTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I WANT TO DISSCONTINUE MY SKYPE PREMIUM AND SHIFT OVER. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Hi,
    Please note that Skype subscriptions are recurring by default.
    This means that, unless you cancel your payment agreement, the system will automatically charge you to renew it.
    I checked your account and can confirm that your subscription is still set to recur automatically. You do not have to take any action on your end if you still wish to continue using it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Price for skype number and yearly subscription

    Hi,
    I would like to get a skype number and get a yearly subscription for unlimited calling to america.   I understand that there is a discount for doing them together though I cant seem to find what it is and how much it will cost me monthly for such a plan.
    Also am I correct that I can use the above plan with my smart phone?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi and welcome to Skype Community.
    You can get a discount when you purchase a Skype Number depending on which subscription duration you prefer. However, this may only happen if you have an active calling subscription during your purchase.
    What you can do is to buy the calling subscription first to the country of your choice. Specific details including the price can be viewed here:
    http://www.skype.com/en/rates/
    Just type the country you prefer on the search box and press Enter.
    After a successful purchase, you may then buy a Skype Number next. You may get a 33% discount for a 3 month subscription and up to 50% discount for a 12 month subscription.
    You may learn more about Skype Number from here:
    http://www.skype.com/en/offers/skype-number/
    And yes, you can use Skype on your smartphone as long as the device you have is Skype-supported. Check out which mobile phones are currently supported by Skype from here:

    Hope this helps.

  • Skype premium with unlimited world account but cal...

    I've been subscribed to Skype premium with unlimited world for a long time now, then just got an email a few days ago, saying I got a free upgrade, and now I can't make any calls - tells me I have to 'buy credit' every time I try making any call I used to make included in my package... What happened?? I'm very frustrated.

    I am Premium subscriber and received the email saying free world access but when I try to ring Italy it asks for a payment.  Do I have to activate something?  Any help would be appreciated 

  • Skype number and subscription discount not showing...

    I am trying to renew my skype number and monthly subscription, but this time I am not receiving the discount that I normally see each quarter when I renew. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    It is because you don't have an active Skype subscription on your account.
    Only ACTIVE subscription allows you to receive a discount on your Skype Number.

  • Purchasing skype number and subscription

    Hello community, I am a new member to Skype.  I'm a bit confused about the fees and subscriptions.  I was about to purchase my Skype number and once it got to the payment screen, I saw that it read, "Skype number, 3 month subcription, etc."  So my question is, are the monthly subscription rate and Skype number separate fees?
    Am I to pay for the Skype number AND minute package every 3 months, together?

    Hello
    A Skype Number is for you to receive inbound calls from your contacts. You can't make calls from one. Contracts are for either 3 or 12 months.
    If you just want to make calls you don't need a Skype Number.
    Calling Subscriptions are monthly with discounts for longer term commitments.

    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Skype Number and Recieving Calls

    Hello,
    I wanted to know once I have a Skype Number, and someone calls me, do I pay any additional cost for the phone call besides the 18 dollars for the number if the person I am talking to is in the United States and the Skype Number is a US number?

    salam-o-alekum
                      brother use some proxy first like pptp or hotspot shield and then make call, this will fix your problem i think because many voice ports are blocked by PTA.

  • Changing my Skype number and keeping my credit on ...

    Can I change my skype number and transfer my credit for a new Skype number?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Skype numbers and credit are tied to the account.  If you add an additional Skype number or replace the number with a new one when the old one expires, then the credit won't change since it's still tied to the account.  If you want to transfer the credit from one account to another then as far as I know,  it's not possible on standard accounts.  If you recently purchased credit within the past 15 days that you didn't use, you could request a refund.  You could then apply the money from the refund towards credit on another account.

  • How to renew skype number and extend subscription?

    I wat to reactivate my skype number and extend the period from 3-months to 1-year. Although the option is available, the ystem only keeps the 3-month button active and the 1-yr option is not activated.

    Hi, SEOConsultant1, and welcome to the Community, If your Skype Number subscription has cancelled, you have within 90 days from the date of cancellation to sign in to your account dashboard and renew the subscription.  You can either...Add enough credit to your account and reactivate the subscription (the subscription reactivation may occur automatically as soon as sufficient credit is added to your account to process the renewal), orReactivate the subscription and choose a different payment method.The most common reason for an existing subscription to cancel is due to the expiration of the current payment method on file. You may always contact Skype Customer Service for further assistance. Regards,Elaine

  • Skype Premium with Unlimited World

    I have a Skype Premium account with Unlimited World.
    I received an email like many others detailing the changes to Skype Premium, and that I would continue to receive my Unlimited World subscription.
    However since receiving that email, I have no Unlimited World subscription listed in my account, and I am not able to make calls.
    A chat with online support said they were aware of the issue and were rolling it out to users accounts in phases to prevent "server crashes and overloads".
    True or not?
    I am also due to be billed on my account for £7.46 on December 25th, but apparently Skypes billing cycle is 8 months and I won't actually be changed anything.
    Again, true or not?

    Same here.  I was paying/subscribing an unlimited country previously.  I received the free upgrade to Unlimited World as well.  But right now, I can't even make phone calls to the numbers in my previous unlimited country.  I got 'insufficient credit'.  message.
    This is what I get when I checked my Purchase History...
    Anybody knows what I should do?
    And, is there a way to 'talk' to Skype support via online?
    Thanks.....

  • Skype number and calling subscription: how can I r...

    I would like to know how to renew my Skype number for one-year instead of three months?  I initially paid for a full year, but the auto renewal only went for three months.  I would like to take advantage of the larger discounts by renewing for a longer period.

    Hi, Tambor_Skype, and welcome to the Community,
    Yes; you will have the same number -- as long as you reactivate your number within the 90 days following your Skype Number subscription's actual expiration date.  While it appears to be a convoluted process, I can attest to the fact that it works.
