Skype WiFi + Outlook Account = Don't Mix

Skype WiFi is a useful service that Skype offers us, but if you have setup your Skype account with Outlook account it doesn't work e.g. Login doesn't work. Please help.

Hello,
You can use your existing Skype account to avail Skype WiFi feature. Now, if your Skype account is merged to your Microsoft account, it should still work. You just have to use your Skype credentials to sign in to the Skype WiFi application or Skype application, not your Microsoft account credentials. You cannot use Microsoft account yet for Skype WiFi feature.
I hope this information will help.

  • Turning off Skype Wifi

    I am using a MAC and the MAC version of Skype. How do I completelu disable and turn off Skype Wifi?I don't EVER want to use Skype Wifi. If I can't get a connection without Skype Wifi, then I don't want a connection. How do I tell Skype to NEVER inform me of Skype Wifi and NEVER even attempt to make a Skype Wifi connection on my behalf. If I cannot remove the Skpe Wifi option then I will just uninstall and abandon Skype. I stumbled across this question on the Windows side and attempted to follow their directions, but apparently I offended them when I said that the Mac version had no ability to turn off the Skype Wifi. If the interface to Skype on Windows is so completely different than the Windows version, then Skype isn't a serious application with a team that is planning for the future. So... Is there a way to disable the Skype Wifi BS on a mac?

    I've seen several posts on different threads from Mac users about this - usually sounding irritated because they have evidently inadvertantly connected to Skype WiFi when they didn't want to and lost credit. The responses from forum moderators seem often to border on rudeness and the information that, on a Mac, you simply can't turn off Skype WiFi is slow to emerge, only after scolding for being on the wrong forum etc. So far I've found no explanation as to why this option is not provided to Mac users. (Skype belongs to Microsoft doesn't it?). I can vouch that this is a real problem. I have recently been connected inadvertantly to Skype Wifi in a hotel and charged a significant chunk of credit when I thought I was connecting to the free hotel wifi. In addition the unwanted Skype wifi pop-up repeatedly stops you from connecting to the wifi you want to by knocking you off the necessary login page. I therefore believe that this is not being fixed as a deliberate policy to deceive Mac users out of Skype credit and I request a full explanation as to why this is not so if indeed that is the case.

  • My wife and I share our Mac OS 10.6.8 since downloading Skype on her account she can not stay connected to any web site she pulls up. I removed Skype from here account but it stll happens. What can I do to clear this up?

    My wife and I share the same Mac OS 10.6.8 and since downloading Skype on her accout she came not asty connected to any web site for more than a few seconds. I have remove Skype from her account but not mine. I don't have the problem on my accout and I still have Skype loaded. How can I fix this problem?

    O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
    I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
    I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
    This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
    I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

  • I switched my Ipod to my wifes Itunes account so we could have just one on the computer. Now my Icloud, game center and other things are saying that my passwords don't work anymore. Is there a way to fix this easily?

  • Arbitary Skype Wifi charges!!!!!

    I went to my loved cafe today. Evertime I connect to the hotspot the skype wifi popup is shown. Normally I close it and connect though the portal that gives you a FREE 1 hour of internet.Today I clicked connect by mistake.
    Since it was a mistake, I immediatelly started to search how to disconnect. No chance!!!!.
    I switched off the wifi, I closed the laptop, I exited skype. Nothing hapenned.
    After 30 minutes a charge of 4.2Euros appeared on my account for 29:58 minutes of wifi!
    Is there any 29:58:00 minimum connection time documented anywhere in the skype wifi site?
    If anybody from skype is reading this forum, I would like to know what is the meaning of "you pay what you use" that is advertised for this service. The correct should be "You pay of what we decide to charge you".
    Solved!

  • Is Skype WiFi hotspot list on map view out yet?

    I was looking for WiFi's location list, and I found that on the pricing list of Skype WiFi page there are given the names of the hotspot providers.
    But I don't think that only name can help you to locate the place.
    What I was looking for is map view of hotspot location..
    I read somewhere that work was in progress on it.
    So is it progressed till now or shall we have to wait further?

    @Neil: Thanks for sharing, but what is really - in the case you describe - the point of using Skype Credit instead of just paying normally for the pay hotspot that WiFI Finder has brought you to? Is it much cheaper, easier etc.? If not I'lll spare myself for the inconvenience of transfering money to my Skype account (and thereby paying in advance) - and just use the pay and free hotspots that WiFi will locate for me.    Regards,Anders

  • Skype wifi charges money even when the it is disab...

    It has happened several times that I am not using skype, but just connected by the phone, and that I was charged by skype wifi.  It really doesn't make sense to me, as the skype wifi is disabled to my account.  Is there a solution? And how can skype credit back my money?

    I forgot to add, it's a Verizon phone so it's CDMA. It used to be only GSM phones that did this.

  • Skype Wifi Does Not Connect

    I'm currently in Melbourne at the Bell City hotel. I'm trying to connect to the Skype Wifi I am constantly prompted by. I have $16 in my account but I cannot get a connection. If I join the Bell City wifi point and then try to start Skype Wifi it says 'You're not connected'.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Using skype on skype wifi while in Japan for calls...

    I am subscribed to us and canada plan here in the U.S.
    I always call Japanese number from here with skype to go number (U.S. number) and it will charge a couple of cents/minute. 
    If I take my iphone to Japan and call on skype wifi, does it still work the same (as far as the rate) or do I need japanese skype to go number because I'll be in Japan?
    Of course, I'd have to pay for skype wifi but I think it's cheaper than buying it in japan.
    I thought wherever I am, the subscription control the way it is charged.
    Thanks.

    When calling via Skype it matters only where you're calling to.  It doesn't matter where you're calling from.
    You may find Skype WiFi helpful as long as you understand it's to pay for not-for-free public wifi hotspots.   If you have free wifi available you can still use your subscriptions and don't need Skype WiFi.
