Skype Unlimited World won't let me call UK mobiles...

Hi All,
I was under the impression that Unlimited World allowed me to do this, but every time I try, it tells me that I need a subscription (which I have!) or skype credit to call them! 
This is a recent (3 months) problem and I had been using Unlimited World for ages before that with no problems at all in this respect.
Am I doing something wrong/ is there a fault with Skype? Can anyone help at all?
Thanks!
Simon

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • S now and the other day it all of a sudden won't let me call or send and receive messages, what could it be.

    Hi I've had my iphone 5 about 8 months now and all of a sudden the other day it won't let me call or txt and won't let me receive them either, what can I do

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  If none of these steps solves your problem, you probably have a hardware issue and will need to bring the phone to Apple.

  • Skype unlimited world

    Hi,
    I just activated the unlimited world 1 month free subscription and as far as I can tell I should be able to make calls to mobiles but it doesn't let me. I've double-checked and the subscription has been activated but it keeps prompting me to buy credit when I try to call a mobile number yet when I tried to purchase credit, it says that I'm overlapping my subscription because the free one should already give me access. How do I resolve this?
    Thanks

    Hi Skype,
    I have recently subscribed for Unlimited countries Landline with first month free - trial.
    I checked the coverage covering Taiwan and Hong Kong. When I tried to make a call to a Hong Kong phone number, it works fine. However, it did not work and I was asked to purchase Skype Credit when I tried to dial a Taiwan phone number.
    What is the reason? =(

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Skype Unlimited World - only 2 out of 3 Skype numb...

    I'm on one of the first Unlimited World plans that came out which included 3 "online" numbers (Skype Numbers). After automatic renewal of my subscription only 2 out of 3 Skype Numbers automatically renewed. 2 of them now says "this number is included in your subscription". The last one (also the most important one) shows "reactivate". If I click reactivate I'm presented with the option to either pay for 3 or 12 months extension.
    I'm not sure why I suddenly can't have that number renewed as part of my subscription and why only 2 out of 3 Skype Numbers were renewed automatically. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Steen

    Update: After a long chat with Skype support they discovered that the missing Skype Number had been detached from my subscription (which it has always been a part of btw). No solution was offered to reattach it to my subscription (that it was part of yesterday before my annual renewal took place). They did however offer me a voucher but I guess it will renew from my PayPal account next year (great...). Their reply:
    05:09:42 Kath****
    Thank you for waiting. After verification, I regret to inform you that we can no longer attach your Skype Number to your +45 36 99 ** ** to your Unlimited World subscription. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
    05:09:46 Kath****
    What we can only provide is a voucher for you to renew your Skype Number.
    05:10:49 s****
    Ok - so I have to go through this again next year because of an error in your system?
    05:12:13 Kath****
    Yes, we're really sorry for the inconvenience.
