My Skype phone number was cancelled for no reason. I had money in there and now there is no option to renew. It expires in 3 days. Please help!

  • Skype number cancel

    Hi, 
    I got a skype number yesterday, but it did not work. It charges the same fee as to call my normal phone number for my friends to call me from China to Sweden. How do I cancel the skype number? Can I get my money back? Because skype's description does not match the reality. Thanks. 

    Can anyone tell me if I really have to have a Skype number to use Skype, if it's a Skype to Skype
    video call?

  • Skype Subscription Cancelled - How can I renew to ...

    I received the below email from Skype.
    Action required - your subscription is expiring in 1 days as your recurring payment has failed Your subscription will expire in 1 days on May 14, 2013. Unfortunately, your payment failed or could not be processed using your current payment method VISA-SKYPE XXXX-3257.
    You can reactivate your subscription up to 90 days after it has expired by updating your payment details in your account.
    Follow these steps:
    1. Sign into your Skype account.
    2. Click "Subscription settings" on the Call phones tab.
    3. Choose an existing stored payment method or add a new one.
    You can use another credit or debit card, PayPal or Skype Credit if available as the payment method for your subscriptions.
    I have solved the issue with the credit card, so now it is working. The email is telling me that I can renew it within 90 days of expiry, however I can not find the option of getting the subscription I have signed up for earlier.
    My subscription was Unlimited Canada & US calling for 12 months at the rate of $30.48 CAD. How can I renew it again at this rate? Is it possible? I don't know what to do as now even the option of Canada & US subscription is not available on the site. 

    I think that 180 days is far too short a time for MS to feel they can take money out of users accounts when they have already prepaid. It just looks like bare faced money grab by Microsoft, and to blatantly skim off money from unsuspecting users who only wanted to make sure they had enough money to make calls in emergency. Shame on you MS. How can we trust you Skype? How can we trust you MS? If someone stole £15 from me in the street, I'd punch them in the face. Why does it make it OK if you are a company doing the same? The answer is, it doesn't. I have my £15 back now, but I'm disgusted. Shame on you MS
    I'm watching you. Try not to let me down again.

  • Skype Number Expires In One Year?!

    Let me begin my fury by first telling you this message I got from my Skype desktop software.
    The Skype Number +[Skype Number] will expire on 2014-10-07.
    What do I need to do?
    You can extend your number by signing into your account. There won't be any break between subscription periods – the new one will pick up right where the old one left off.
    [When I pasted the message, a number appeared not present in the original message. but I deleted it because it might be "confidential." I saved it in an RTF document in case you need it.]
    2 days ago 
    When I "signed into my account" there was no message that said I needed to "extend my number" NO WHERE AT ALL did it say "click here to extend the number." And I don't know why it wants me to "extend" the number each YEAR because I have an automatic payment subscription for every THREE MONTHS. I looked EVERYWHERE for supscriptions, and the only "subscriptions" were the "unlimited minutes", SEPARATE THREE MONTH AUTOMATIC PAYMENT SUBSCRIPTION from the Skype Number Automatic Payment Subscription. But there was no information about the Skype Number in the Subscriptions page.
    More Problems Occur!
    I ALREADY REGISTERED! I Am Already Signed In! Why does the Skype "Community" website want me to register?! I tried to use my username which it said it was already used by another user?!
    I Hate Skype!!
    I tried to open up a text chat with "customer service". The chat box malfunctioned.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
    Your account confirms that you have a 3 monthly Subscription to a Skype Number with the next automatic renewal date on October 7th 2014. The reason you received a message that it would expire is that your credit card expiry date will be reached before the new 3 month Number Subscription period ends on January 7th 2015. To ensure continuity of coverage you will need to provide updated credit card information before October 7th 2014. I'll check the other points you make and advise. Apologies for the confusion.

  • Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number

    Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number as per FAQ. 
    Its not cool that skype has changed the setting to require you to cancel the online number or you get auto renewed. Then as per the FAQ one of the links is inactive.

    Also I was wondering why my online number would not allow calls through.
    As per the FAQ it says that I need to enable all numbers to call my to avoid blocked numbers not in my contacts list. 
    Unfortunately the same link is u/s.
    I have been a customer for about 4 years and am now withdrawing all auto payments and moving to viber.
    I would also like to point out that since ios 6 the iphone app is unstable.
    regards

  • How to renew skype number?

    I received an email to ask for renew, I went to my skype account and click my number
    but there's no renew button or else
    the payment details are there, but why is skype threatening to remove my skype number when the renew option is not available?

    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

  • Re: Skype number renewal

    My skype number is 3 days away from expiry.  I have NOT set up the automatic renewal, and now I am unable to renew it, or change payment or renewal options.
    I don't want to have the Auto renewal setup, however I would like to manually renew my subscription every year, but this does not seem to be an option?!?

    Hello
    Your account shows that you have been charged correctly. A subscription to a product sets up a recurring payment. This ceases when you cancel the product. If you have canceled you won't be  charged again. Cancellation is effective on the next renewal date and you can use your Skype Number until then.

  • HELP!!!!!! I cannot renew my annual Skype Number s...

    Hi,
    I am sorry to bother you with this but after 15 minutes of searching I could not find any support number, email address or anything for Skype. Is this true??????? A paid service with no support? Just a bunch of FAQ items that does not help?
    The problem is: I have some Skype Numbers. Before they expire, I usually receive a warning and then I go there and manually pay $60 to extend them for another year. At least this is how it worked in the past.
    Now I received an email saying that my automatic payment (whaaaaat???) failed and my Skype Number will expire within 2 days.
    The problems are:
    1. I have never asked them to debit my account automatically.
    2. And especially not with $18 which is 3 months only. I want another year.
    3. Nothing changed with my credit cars do why did it fail?
    4. Where have all the manual payment options gone???????
    There is no button or any option to pay manually. It only allows me to change the payment method. There is no way I can pay the annual fee.
    Is this a Microsoft trick so that I will lose my number? Can anyone help me as apparently there is no support for Skype but a bunch of useless FAQ items. I pay for this service but I cannot get help.
    Anyone, please, help. I do not want this to expire. This is the number my mother calls me at from the other side of the planet. This is VERY important to me. This is the only way she can contact me. Please, help.
    Thank you in andvance.
    Cheers,
    Moh@

    Hi,
    As I understand it, the process is simply to cancel the three-month subscription (you can do this via your account or by contacting Skype Customer Service).  You will not lose your current Skype Number; it will be held for you for 90 days following the end of the current subscription term).  Then, after the subscription expires, sign on to your account and renew your Skype Number for the term you wish.  If you wish to cover the cost using Skype Credit, ensure there is enough credit on account prior to renewing.
    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.
    Best regards,

  • Skype number subscription cancelled? No!

    Howdy,  in one of my Skype Numbers (I have two), there's a message that says:
    "Your Skype Number subscription was cancelled. It will expire on November 9, 2013."
    Then have the option of getting a new Skype Nr.
    However, I didn't cancel that subscription and want to continue to use that number past that date.   It's a US number.
    How can I do that?
    When I get a new Skype nr, I can get fairly close numbers, but not the same..
    Thanks!

    Ok, contacted customer support (CS) via chat and this is what I got:
    CS: I suggest that you wait for this Online Number to expire for you to see an option to reactivate the Online Number.
    Me: But I need to put this number out there for people to add in their contacts.
    I need to be sure I'll be able to continue to use the number.
    Are you telling me that for sure when the number expires I will be able to reactivate it and continue to use it?
    CS: Don't worry once the number is expired it will still be on your account for 90 days.
    Me: ok, tx. Any reason I can't extend it now?
    CS: I apologize but there are some cases that extending an Online Number is available however, we suggest that you wait for this number to expire.
    Basically, looks like I can only renew close or after expiration, which 1) doesn't make sense and 2) why does the error message saying my subscription was cancelled appear?
    I guess I'll have to wait and see.   Meanwhile, the number is working.
    Hope that helps someone out there in the same situation!

  • How do I REALLY cancel my Skype Number?

    I have a Skype Number.  I purchased it for three months, which is not yet up, and want to cancel it now.  I have tried to change the payment option, with no success.  I follow the Cancel Number link and select the Cancel Number (versus Keep the number) with no obvious success.  Information associated with the number show the Automatic Renewal Date but does not show that the number is cancelled.
    How do I cancel the number?

  • 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.

  • Unable to renew Skype Number

    When I log into Skype, it tells me my number is about to expire. When I click on "Settings" to renew it, it simply tells me I have insufficient Skype funds (I don't). All it will allow me to do is "Update" my payment settings, even though it actually won't (when I press "billing" nothing happens). When I go to the section of the site to download a number, it only aks me to purchase a new one. HALP.

    Hello,
    On the day your Skype Number subscription expires, it will be automatically renewed for the same period of time for which you initially purchased it.
    To change your Skype Number payment method:
    Sign in to your account.
    In the Manage features section, click Skype Number. You’ll see the next payment due date under your Skype Number.
    Click Settings. 
    Here you can change your existing payment method.
    You can change your payment method as long as the new method supports recurring payments, such as a credit card, PayPal or Skype Credit. This is not possible in countries where the payment cannot be made from your Skype Credit balance.
    When you cancel your subscription and your Skype Number expires, you can reactivate it from your account within 90 days.

  • Skype number subscription unwanted automatic renew...

    it is inconvenient when a subcription lapses, one might beleive it cancels. not so, it will instead automatically renew without further authorization. i no longer need a skype number but wish to use the land and mobile call out feature so when i added skype credit, it was intended for calling out only and i feel i did not authorize a payment for the skype number, it just deducted my skype credit anyway. now i don't have enough money to pay for my call out script since no refunds are available.
    perhaps skype can charge a correction fee and refund at least some of the unexpectedly deducted funds or cancel a script when it lapses? this would seem a friendlier approach.

    I too have the same problem
    Your Skype Number subscription was cancelled  -----  why i didnt cancel it and i want to continue using the same number that i have had for 3 years
