Switching from World Minutes to Skype Credit durin...

Hi.
I have an Office 365 60-minutes deal, plus Skype Credit, both of which I use for business purposes. I understand that Skype will prioritise using the world minutes before using Skype Credit for calls.
My question relates to running out of World Minutes during a call, which ends the call even though there's Skype Credit available. This necessitates a call back, which can appear very unprofessional.
Questions:
1. When I reach zero minutes, is there any way for Skype to automatically switch over to use Skype Credit without dropping the original call?
2. Can I select which "account" to use when making the original call?
3. Is Skype working on either of those solutions, or anything similar?
Regards

 Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Unfortunately not. Calls can't be switched seamlessly when there's a change in the call charging protocol. Calls are charged at different rates between Subscriptions and Credit.
2. Again this isn't possible. The system will automatically choose the cheaper option and can't be manually overridden.
3. No. As a workaround you could establish a second account and use it for selected calls funded solely by Credit.

  • Up to 60 minutes of Skype Credit from Bing Reward ...

    Dear, Skype
    Just interested in Bing Reward to get my goal "Up to 60 minutes of Skype Credit" for 100 points. I want to make it sure before redeem it. I am live in Indonesia and using Bing with US Region to activate my Bing Reward Features. If i have reached 100 point and redeem it, can i use the voucher/credit code in Indonesia? If yes, how much in USD i will get the Credit?
    Thanks for your reply. I need help here.

    Hi, ID4,
    The Skype credit allotment choices will change and increase over time as you develop a successful credit purchase history with Skype.  It works a lot like increasing the credit limit on an unsecured credit card.

  • Have Unlimited World, but need Skype Credit for ca...

    So I've checked and read and googled... I have the Unlimited World plan that covers China. From my understanding anyway. My account says Premium, which I read does not cover China. But I also have Unlimited World that does include China. When I go to the rates and click on China it shows the unlimited plan at the bottom. When I click it, it says I already have this plan and will be overlapping my current plan. I really need my subscription to work, otherwise I will cancel it, what's the point?

  • I have recharged my Skype credit, but still can't make a call

    I was previously subscribed the Malaysia 400 mins, 1 month call to mobile numbers, and it worked totally fine. But after I finished the minutes, I did recharge again to get another 400 mins call, and the amount was deducted from my bank account. It means that Skype has received the payment. But, I still couldn't make the call, and a message says that I need to recharge appeared after every called I tried to make. Somebody please share a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your account shows that you have used your full minutes allocation in your current billing cycle and your next minutes will be added to your account when your next billing cycle starts on August 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.

    We don't use skype anymore and skype xxxxxxx money from us as our skype credit was "deactivated".
    UPDATE: I contact skype chat support and they reactivated my credit no questions asked. It was quick and easy (suprisingly so). Chat support saved a customer. I felt compelled to share my experience after posting the above comments in haste.

  • Skype credit vs World minutes by Office 365

    Hello,
    I have both skype credit and world minutes (offered by Office 365). When I do a skype calling to mobile or landline, which account above will be taking into priority and whether I could choose which one should be active at a time as part of charging/payment?
    Regards,
    Cedric 

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Skype will use the subscription that’s best for you. It ranks your subscriptions and uses them in this order:
    By minute rate – lowest rate (i.e. cheapest) ranks first;
    By plan type – unlimited ranks first, and limited ranks second;
    By next monthly minutes reset date – nearest ranks first.

  • Useless World Minutes (from Office 365 subscriptio...

    Hello Skype,
    I got 60 world minutes each month from Office 365 subscription...which is nice...however, I have not been able to use a single minute?
    Issue?  Insufficient credit (!).
    Destination call?  SCB, a landline call to an international banking institution in the heart of HCM city, the biggest city in Vietnam...not a rural area, not a mobile phone...how so???

    The Office 365 signup page: http://www.skype.com/en/offers/office365/ has the supported countries clearly listed on the lower half of the page.  No further research is required.  This is the same list that appears under the properties of the World plan (in graphical flag form) on the Skype rates page when looking at the available plans for a particular country.  If the list was any shorter, it would be wrong.
    Call landlines and mobiles in: Canada, China, Guam, Hong Kong SAR, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Thailand, and United States.
    Call landlines only in: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia (excluding rural areas - LEX), Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guadeloupe, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia (Jakarta only), Republic of Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Venezuela.
    It is a 60 minute plan that adheres to 60 minutes available to those countries.  It isn't $60 worth of general credit.  I have not doubt restrictions in this form allow people to get the most amount of talk time and allows the promotion to be cost-limited through contracts allowing the promotion to exist.  

  • Problem from redeeming Skype Credit Card

    I got some skype credit card, more than ten, from a workshop. Every time I redeem them it says
    You have tried too many invalid voucher or prepaid card numbers in a row. Please wait for 30 minutes and then try again. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
    Anyone can help me to fix it?

    If by "Internet credit card" you are referring to those services that issue a temporary, time-limited credit card number, those to the best of my knowledge will not work with the iTunes Store. You need a permanent credit card that has an associated billing address.
    Regards.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    1. Your Office365 Subscription is automatically part of your account and is ready for you to use.
    2. Because you are trying to call a cellphone in Malaysia. Only calls to landlines in Malaysia are included in your Subscription. Please check your coverage carefully.
    3. You haven't purchased any credit. A Subscription is not credit.

  • Re: Can't Activate Skype world minutes

    Hi! Greetings from Italy!! Need some urgent help, please!!!
    On 12 August 2014 I bought from my iPad Air Office 365 Personal which came with a montly 60 free Skype World Minutes. But despite scores of attempts, I can't activate the free minutes on my iPad Air. Every time I try to activate it, I get this message: "5392da95-eec0-47da-939e-2c87ba9934a1 error code."
    I have been skimming through the posts but have had no luck. I got in touch with Microsoft support and they redirected me here. By the way, I found no Internet Explorer for my iPad.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Skype credit & unlimited world calling

    Hi,
    I've subscribed for unlimited world calling free month and it was working great.
    However it seems my Skype credit have been charged for the same and my skype credit is null now. When u try to make call using unlimited world call I couldn't make a call as it says you don't have credit balance.
    I was in an impression to subscribe for this once my free month gets over, but since it makes me think that Skype credit is charged for the free call I have hesitation to make the subscription.
    Could you make me understand the below
    1. What's the difference between Skype credit and Skype subscription
    2. Say if I subscribe to UWC for $13.99 do I need to buy a Skype credit separately to make calls?
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1.  Skype credit can be used to place calls to phone numbers reachable by the Skype network.
    Skype subscriptions can be used to place phone calls at no cost assuming the number being dialed is covered by the subscription and your usage of the subscription doesn't violate Skype's terms of use or fair usage policy.  If you dial a number not covered by the plan or exceed your allotted usage (if minute based), then credit will be consumed.   Additionally Skype subscriptions do not cover calls to premium, shared-cost or non geographic numbers.  Those will revert to credit if dialed.  Be aware that many unlimited plans do NOT include mobiles.  Dialing a mobile when you have a landline subscription will consume credit.
    2.  As long as you make calls covered by the subscription then no credit will be consumed nor is credit required.  You can have a subscription with a zero credit balance.  If you attempt to make a call that requires credit, you will not be able to place the call.  If you are unsure what is covered by your subscription you need to revisit the terms of your subscription or keep your balance at zero credit (Auto-recharged disabled) to not incur additional costs.
    This FAQ covers what is covered by that subscription.  Pay close attention to the landline and mobile part.  You can also refer to the Skype rates page and look at the pay as you go rates.  If an area code is listed as premium or shared cost for the country you are calling, it will not be covered by the subscription and it will request credit.
