Subscription for most calls, but credit for 0845 n...

Hello,
This question is similar to two recent previous ones, but they weren't answered to my satisfaction.
I bought an unlimited Skype subscription for the UK and Europe. I needed to call, and will no doubt in the future need to call, organisations in the UK on 0845 numbers. I discovered that I had to buy credit to call these numbers, because the subscription doesn't cover them. However, when making calls to the UK and France, I noticed that the credit amount is running down.
I do not want this. I want to reserve the credit for calls that can't use a subscription and instead require credit. How do I do this?
Thanks

You mentioned earlier that when you called UK and France, calls were charged from Skype Credit balance. In this case you probably called mobile phones which are not covered by the subscription.

  • "Itemised billing" of Skype Credit used for phone calls (Skype Credit Usage History)

    It is very diffilult to obtain a summary of your Skype Credit usage history. I want to know how much each call cost. I found it on this website:https://secure.skype.com/account/usage I noted my Skype call credit was used in a very short period and I wanted to know which calls were responsible for this. It's almost impossible to find this information using the Skype Desktop Application. Calls marked "Special Services" were responsible for these costs. I wish Skype would be able to clearly mark calls which have expensive rates. I use a subscription with phone calls, but these "special service" calls are not anticipated and unexpectedly used all my Skype Credit. I am asking Skype to make it easy to get your Skype Credit Usage History, using the Skype application.

  • Purchased subscription for UK but can't call landl...

    I've purchased a monthly subscription for UK (120 min) as I am coordinating my business trip but I can't call landlines at all and skype keeps suggesting me that I should buy SkypeCredit or a subscription?!
    But the payment shows on my skype account and on my bank statement, so the money went through? I can't understand why it is not working - anybody have any ideas??

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    You haven't purchased any credit.
    Your account shows that you have used your full Subscription minutes allocation in your current billing cycle and your next minutes will be added to your account when your next billing cycle starts on July 16th 2015.
    Renewing your monthly Subscription before your billing cycle ends has no effect on the date upon which your minutes allocation will be added to your account.
    To continue calling until your next minutes allocation is applied to your account please purchase either a Subscription but with a different amount of minutes or Skype Credit.

    So I had a Skype number in an area code I no longer wanted so the subscription ran out and I bought a new subscription with a new number for $30 on 5/12 and the order was delivered. I even made a test call and the new number showed up on the caller ID. Today would have been the end of the other subscription I guess and now Skype isn't working at all. I go to make a call and a pop up saying "You need Skype Credit or a Subscription to make a call". What gives?

    I am traveling in Chile, South America. I purchased an Entel sym card and I can make and receive phone calls, but the internet only works on WiFi. Do I need to region unlock or what? I willl only be here for A month and a half so I don't want to buy a phone. Any suggestions?

    Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
    As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
    You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
    You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

  • Which subscription for calling US from Bahrain?

    [Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Noob Here"]
    Good Day Fellow Skypers ,
    I am about to move Bahrain and will be there for a year.  I've never used Skype outside of its video chat features.  I would like to be able to make phone calls from Bahrain to mobile phones back in the states.  Could someone give me a list of things to consider before I make the investment in subscription plan.
    What I want to do:
    Make phone calls in Bahrain from my cell phone (iphone 5s) to mobile phones back in the states
    Now, I know that there other alternatives for VOIP calls but this whole international calling thing is confusing to me.  Could someone help me please.
    Thanks and Enjoy Your Day Today,

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your location is irrelevant. To call to or within the USA from anywhere worldwide you just need the Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription. Make sure you purchase it for 12 months before you leave the US.  Skype subscription 
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

    This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

  • I have a subscription for Ireland and still being billed on credit?

    I have a subscription for Ireland and still being billed on credit?

    Hi, macconad
    Welcome to the Skype Community! Thanks for choosing Skype for your needs of calling Irish phones! 
    Please be aware of the calling plan you have chosen. Somewhat often, some customers have chosen a Landline-only minutes/subscription plan and have attempted to dial a mobile phone with their surprise to the additional charges they weren't expecting. 
    Did you choose a landline-only plan? 
    This means that calling an Irish mobile phone number will result in additional costs deducted from your Skype Credit. There's also a mobile and landline plan for a higher premium. You'd still be taking advantage of Skype's low calling rates.
    For your reference, here's the pricing for Republic of Ireland:
    Click on the image to visit the rates page. If you have made the correct purchase and really cannot call any Irish number without spending Skype Credit, please let us know. Otherwise, I hope this satisfactorily addresses your concern. 
    If you've got questions about Skype,
    We've probably got answers to them!
    Community-based support from people who use Skype everyday - That's powerful stuff!

  • Subscription for unlimited calls to US

    Good morning, i want to buy the subscription for unlimited calls to US for a month, but i have some problems:
    1. There it says that if i want unlimited calls on US mobile number i have to say that before i pay the subscription , but i complete everything i can not write anywhere that i want unlimited minutes to US mobile number. I am not interested in unlimited calls to landlines
    2. I put the card number... and so on, but i can not make the payment it says to chech if i have money or verify my account, it can be possible this because i have a Master Card with LEI, not with Dollars or Euro 

    I just signed up for the premium service yesterday (I have had a "regular" Skype account for years) and seem to have the same problem.  How do I link my newly purchased outside phone number and my new annual subscription together?  I emailed Skype tech support about 24 hours ago and have received no reply.

  • Subscription for calls to India

    I have an annual subscription for 75 mins worth of calls to India per month which costs £1/month and noticed that call charges are now 1p/min. Is my subscription likely to be upgraded to include more mins/month?

    Well this has been a nightmare tryin to get this skype problem fixed? what happened to emailing and getting a reply with a rep who helps u.... honestly Ive clicked for 2 days trying to fix this and even messaged skype on Facebook....... well so here my problem, I purchased a skype subscription last year at this time, under my girlfriends credit card, we broke up in october and when I went to go pay for a new subscription she called me a day before saying skype allready made the purchase without her permission , is this legal? and with no notification also ...... So all i want to do is make sure I have the correct subscription cause it tells me I have a 14.00$ subscription and I would like the same one I had last year and remove her credit card.. I also had an unlimited subscription and it was liek 30$ I do believe...... I need this problem fixed cause I think its a internal Skype problem

  • Subscription for calling israel

    I want to purchase a subscription to call both landlines and mobile phones in israel. Skype has 2 main subscription options:
    1 - a landline option only where where each minute costs about 2 cents
    2 - A combined landline and mobile phone option where each minute costs about 10 cents (if i purchase 120 minutes worth of calls each month).
    Questions:
    1 - In the latter combined option, does that mean that landline calls also cost 10 cents per minute? if yes, how can I get a subscription where the landline calls are billed at the lower rate and the mobile calls at the higher rate?
    Thanks.
    Allen
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Allen,
    If you purchase Landlines and Mobiles subscription then both landlines and mobiles are charged the same way.
    I would recommend purchasing both subscription because then when you call landlines number Skype will automatically use Landlines subscription and when calling mobiles then Skype will use Landlines and Mobiles subscription.
    Keep in mind that if subscription for landlines runs out then still landlines and mobiles subscription is used. Choose the amount of minutes based on which numbers you call the most.

  • Subscription for calling landlines and voicemail options?

    I was wondering if i got a skype number if people would be able to call me and leave me messages in the same fashion as a typical landline and answering machine, and if they can is there a limit for the ammount of voice messages i can receive? Also if they can leave messages when i am not logged into skype? I need to know because I am going to be transcribing reports for a relative and he would need to leave me multiplie messages a day and he would need to be able to leave me a voice message at any time. Thank you.

  • Regarding a subscription for unlimited calls in th...

    Hi,
    If I was to purchase the unlimited calls to the United States on a monthly basis, would I be able to add non subscripted people to calls if I host? So say for example I call my Auntie in Washington on her landline and I want to add my brother in who is on his computer on his free skype account in the other room. Would I be able to do this as the host free of charge? 
    Thanks,
    Alex Varney

    No Im asking that;
    I call my auntie in the US on my subscription but add my brother into the call to make it a 3 way call. He doesnt have a subscription but would he still be able to join the call since I have a subscription? So essentially, I call my auntie on my subsciption to her US landline phone. I then add my brother in who has a normal skype account without any subsciptions. What I am asking is, is it possible for him to talk in this conversation with me to my auntie even though he hasnt paid for a subscription. Or would he have to buy a subscription to join the call?

    I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
    When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
    I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
    I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
    However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
    My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .
    can anyone help please?
