Skype Unlimited World Subscription not working

I subscribed to the 'worldwide unlimited free trial subscription' last night. It shows up on my web account that I've subscribed to it. When I login to Skype on my computer and try making a test call it doesn't work or show up. It keeps saying I need Skype Credit to make the call. I've tried logging in and out/quitting the application and all that, still nope. Any ideas?

I have unlimited world subscription not working

When I go to place a call under one of the countries listed, it tells me I need Skype Credit. Why then would I purchase the most expensive plan yet I still cant place any calls? I will cancel and place a dispute on my cc. This is NOT whats advertised. Please read your term and conditions for this plan. Thank you

Hi,
Your call history currently shows that last call was almost 5 minutes and it was covered by your subscription:
https://secure.skype.com/account/call-history
It seems subscription is working.
I did notice that you tried to call also Brazil & Venezuela mobile numbers, but these are not included:
www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/pay-monthly/#UnlimitedWorld
For these numbers you need a different subscription or Skype Credit.
If you still have trouble calling destination that is covered by your subscription then please provide exact call date/time/number to customer service and they can look into this.

Re: Unlimited World Subscription Not Working

Hi, I just bouhgt the world unlimited calling package, and tried to call my house in South Africa on the land line. Credit was still deducted from my account?
Please explain, why?

Unlimited World covers South Africa landline numbers. It seems you called a mobile number and since subscription doesn't cover SA mobiles it was charged from balance. If you search South Africa on the rates page it should list Unlimited World only under "Calling landlines"
For mobiles Skype has 60 & 120 minutes. You can find the page here: http://www.skype.com/en/rates/

Skype Unlimited World Subscription

Hello,
I'm new to Skype and need some help. I am going to Italy for a while and would like to be able to call family using Skype. Some of them do not have Skype accounts which is where the following questions come from:
If I purchase the Skype Unlimited World subscription I am able to call mobile and landline numbers internationally, correct? (I will just be calling the U.S. from Italy)
Also, if I buy that subscription am I given a Skype number so that others may call me from their mobile and/or landline numbers?
Lastly, if people can call my Skype number from their mobile and/or landline numbers, are they charged for the call, or am I charged for the call?
Thanks!

Hello
1. If you are just calling to the USA you only need the Unlimited USA/Canada Plan @$2.99/month. This Plan enables you to call both landlines and cell phones in the USA from anywhere in the world including from within the USA.
2. No. You must purchase that separately.
3. A Skype Number is a regular landline # so calls to it will cost whatever the caller's carrier charges.
4. No.

Skype Unlimited World Subscription Payment Refused

If you have failed to pay due to credit card expiry or any other reason and once Skype has tried to charge you and they fail and cancel your subscription - you can't do anything to renew your subscription - or can you?
I have wasted three days and umpteen hours trying to renew my refused payment cancelled subscription - but no luck. Today I had even a call from their customer service to personally tell me that they can not do anything for me. So thats that.
But most annoying thing is that their own website says this -
"If your credit card expires (or the payment fails for any other reason), we will let you know that the recurring payment failed, and give you time to change your payment method and keep your subscription running.
If you don’t change your payment details in time and your subscription expires, you have up to 90 days to reactivate it by updating the payment method. By doing this, you can maintain your current subscription settings."
Read it yourself -
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1781/how-can-i-pay-for-a-subscription
This is shameful skype - stop treating your customers like this.
Is there any way to reverse their decision - any one? What does consumer laws say about this?

No. India is not in the list of countries covered by this subscription.

One month unlimited world-wide not working

I have taken advantage of the Skype offer for one month's free world-wide use that was offred as part of the thw Windows 8 upgrade.
I tried to ring a Switzerland mobile number but it rejecetd it based upon my current balance (Non one month free).
I looked at the premium subscription fine print and it said that mobile access may be available with this but would be informed at the point of subscribing. I did not get any such information.
Should I be able to ring a mobile in Switzerland on this?

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.

My Unlimited World is not letting me call German m...

I work for a German company and communicate with my friends there via mobile phones. I purchased Unlimited World with the primary thought of calling them with Skype. In the description of Unlimited World is says you may call any landline or mobile. Without this feature, it is overkill for me to have this subscription. There seems to be no Skype person or number I can call to sort this out. Any clever answers out there for me?

Unlimited World subscription but unable to call co...

Hi,
I have a unlimited world subscription and for some reason I'm unable to call to one of the countries that are in the list (Brazil), the phone I'm trying to call is a landline. Do I need to re-subscribe so the new countries for the unlimited world subscription works with my account?
BTW, I am using the format: +(country code) (area code) (number)
Thank you

Hi,
Unfortunately, as you initially purchased your subscription before the new countries were added, the destination Brazil is not included into your subscription.
What you can do is repurchase the subscription from the webpage, this way when the new subscription period starts (after the old already active subscription is over), the new subscription will be working for you.
Hope it helps,
Anna
