Skype Premium VS US Subscription VS Groupon $30 de...

Hi,
I am looking to purchase a subscription but had few questions regarding the same. Some basic info I am basically from US but will be traveling extensively for next few months, hence the need for same.
So Now -
Option 1 - I see Skype Premium Service with Unlitd US & Canada Calling for $4.49/ month
Option 2 - I also see the Skype US and Canada subscription with unltd calling for ~$6.99/month
But obviously option 1 looks better as it has Group Video and all premium features. So my question was does option 2 also has all premium features. Meaning why would anyone buy option 2 when option 1 has more features and costs less.
Also which pricing plan am I buying if I get the groupon deal - which is free dongle/adapter with 12 month subscription for US calling. I dont care for a adapter as I intend to use the iPhone 4 for most calling.
I would highly appreciate a clear response to these 2 questions.
Thanks

  • Skype Premium Purchasing Issue?

    Every time I try and purchase the Skype Premium 3-month subscription, it redirects me and says page not found. It's also not working for a friend of mine who lives across the country, so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with skype itself.
    Any ETA on when this can be resolved?? Thanks!

    I am trying to purchase a subscription for cheaper calling rates and it is not letting me. It sends me to an error page stating the page I am looking for could not be found.

  • Unable to cancel my skype premium subscription.

    I get an error when trying to go to the manage page on my skype premium subscription. I want to cancel it but it wont let me.

    Why can't I cancel my premium service?

  • Unable to swap my Skype Premium subscription

    I was having a skype premium 300 mins - 1 month subscription and upon exhausting all available limits (and fair usage limit), I purchased another 600 mins - 1 month  subscription. I was under the impression that since I have purchased a subscription with more talktime I should be able to make calls, but I was wrong. Even though the money has been charged and the subscription succesfully recharged, am still being blocked from making any calls. 
    Has anyone experienced this before? By the way I am in Australia & any help and suggestions would be appreciated, to make me get around this trick. I am so frustated.
    Cheers

    Hello
    Your newly purchased minutes will be added at midnight UTC on the due date. This is standard Skype policy.

  • 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.

  • I want to but cannot cancel Skype Premium

    I have waded through the maze of screens telling me how to cancel Skype premium.
    I cannot delete my payment method as Skype Premium has to be cancelled first.
    I cannot go into subscription settings as there is no settings option as described in the how to.
    I cannot open chat support, no matter how many browsers I try.
    I do not use premium, I do not want it and I find it quite ludicrous that there is no simple way to cancel it or contact support.
    I see all the other topics saying the same thing but no solution.
    Please can someone help! I don't care about a refind. i just don't want to be debited for yet another year for somehting that I don't use and that I now read has no purpose as the only feature which was desirable is now free.

    I am in the exact same situation. I have spent a lot of time on a loop of links that bring me back to the same useless pages. All I want to do is cancel my Skype Premium before it charges me again. You posted over a month ago and I see no one has offered you a solution. Is there no way to contact a customer service rep to deal with this?

  • Problem purchasing Skype premium

    I am having serious difficulties purchasing Skype premium. 
    Following my participation in an academic congress in China last year, my Skype account has accidently become associated with Skype's Chinese partner Tom Online. When I now try to purchase Skype Premium from skype.com, I am redirected to Tom Online's Chinese website. 
    I initially thought that I could resolve the issue by contacting Skype's customer service, but this appears not to be the case. The advice that I have been given is that I should contact Tom Online in order to address the issue, or register an new Skype account. The replies that I have receieved from Skype's customer service are generally rather incoherent, each time written by a different person and often a cut & paste of pre-written text that is only tangentially relevant to the problem. 
    Might there any way for me, as a European business customer, to purchase Skype Premium without having to interact with Skype's Chinese partner or registering a new Skype account? If so, I would be most grateful.

    Hello Ashraf,
    I would first recommend checking your call history here:
    https://secure.skype.com/account/usage
    If call history shows that destination was recognized as Israel landline number then customer service will need to investigate why subscription didn't cover it.
    You can file a support ticket through customer service as shown here: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1170

  • Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    In short no. Skype for business is the same as standard Skype except it has an msi installer so that you can deploy it with a pre defined setup throughout your organisation. Also you can have Skype Manager, which lets you create users and allocate credit, online numbers and other features directly to your staff. There is no monthly cost for this. Skype Premium is a monthly subscription (£5.99 per month) that gives you access to additional features like, Group Video Calling, Group Screen Sharing and An Unlimited Country Call Plan. If you have any more questions or need further clarification please get in touch.

  • Skype premium wants me to pay for calls yet I have...

    I signed up for Skype premium with a annual plan paid in full. Yet it wants me to pay for calls. Can you assist or contact me at 413.770.1812 to change subscription.

    What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
    If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
    Regars.

  • How to cancel Skype premium via cell phone?

    How do you delete skype premium using a cell phone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    By deleting Skype premium I guess you mean cancelling the Premium subscription?   The Skype clients I use generally have an account section which links you to the web allowing you to access your account.  If the client you are using lacks that functionality, you should still be able to log onto Skype.com using the browser on your phone to cancel your subscription.
