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 -

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.

  • 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!
    Solved!

    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.
    Enjoy Skype!

  • 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?

    Hello
    Your account shows that you are trying to call a cellphone in the Philippines. Please note that neither calls to cellphones nor landlines in the Philippines are covered by Unlimited World. Please check your coverage.

  • 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.

  • Unlimited World subscription

    I just paid my unlimited world subscription but can't make any call. I tried to call a mobile in China but it says I need to get a Skype credit. Why? Ipaid for subscription. I paid and payment is successful but can't even use it for calling. I need feedback. URGENT please!

    Money has been debited from my account and I am not able to call any number.
    What is the problem....
    I have never been so disappointed by skype before.
    Skype now offers two versions of the Unlimited World subscription.  One - the cheaper option - does not include calling to China.  Please click on "Subscriptions" near the bottom of this page to see the new details.
    You can cancel the subscription you just started, then sign up for the new Unlimited World subscription that includes calling to China.  Be prepared for the higher price of the subscription with calling to China.

  • Trouble with unlimited world subscription

    I have trouble re-activative my unlimited world subscription.
    When I click re-activative, it leads me to a chinese site, where I have no idea how to re-activative my unlimited world subscription. I think my account may be linked to chinese Tom skype, and my payment then go through it via chinese dollar. But I don't want that and I never authorize my skype to do that. Now I want to bring my skype back to US. Any one can help me with that?

  • 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,

  • Cannot call with unlimited world subscription

    Hi
    I have subscribed to Unlimited world subscription and had recently paid the bill for the month.
    However, I cannot make a phonecall to Malaysia using the account. The phone keep showing the message insufficient credit. And prompted me to buy credits.
    My username is [Removed for privacy].
    This is urgent and I need to make important call. Why doesn't Skype have a customer service hotline?
    This is so frustrating.  
    Reply me at [Removed for privacy] once this is fixed.

    Hello,
    I can see that you have tried to call a mobile in Malaysia, this is not included in your Subscription, you can call only landlines.

  • Re: Unlimited World Subscription free trial

    I cannot use my subscription at all. I checked before getting it that the number in Costa Rica was reachable via this subscription. My account says I have TWO different subscriptions, but I am unable to use. The notice "You must have Skype credit or a subscription to make this call" always appears. I have paid for two! What is going on? This is very lousy customer service!!!
    I also tried actually reaching customer service, which is impossible! So I am here.

  • Unlimited World Subscription free trial

    Hi, 
    From the Skype home page I clicked on "Prices" and then "Special Offers", after which I clicked the link to "Get your Free month" of the Skype unlimited World subsription trial. I followed all the steps, entered card details, agreed Terms of service. But now it doesn't seem I have a subscription? When I try to make a call to a landline, it tells me I need Skype Credit? 
    I didn't receive an email after doing this, and I don't see any "subsciptions" on my home page, but not sure if i just don't know where to look. 
    Please could someone help me out?
    Thank you.
