Unable to swap my Skype Premium subscription

I was having a skype premium 300 mins - 1 month subscription and upon exhausting all available limits (and fair usage limit), I purchased another 600 mins - 1 month  subscription. I was under the impression that since I have purchased a subscription with more talktime I should be able to make calls, but I was wrong. Even though the money has been charged and the subscription succesfully recharged, am still being blocked from making any calls. 
Has anyone experienced this before? By the way I am in Australia & any help and suggestions would be appreciated, to make me get around this trick. I am so frustated.
Cheers
Sash

    I get an error when trying to go to the manage page on my skype premium subscription. I want to cancel it but it wont let me.

  • Unable to subscribe to Skype Premium

    When I try to choose 12 moths Skype Premium the only bullet it will accept is the monthly option. I have tried Google Chrome and MS IE and neither works. Is it my browser or your page setup? How else can I subscribe?

  • Can't purchase Skype Premium, something went wrong...

    I'm already a old style 'Skype Premium' user, with the old 'Skype Premium' features and unlimited calls to the US and Canada.
    Other than that, I have a one month new 'Skype Premium' subscription that is still active.
    Now I have credits in the accoun and I want to buy a 12 months new 'Skype Premium' for umlimted calls to over 50 countries, but it always gives me something went wrong error?
    And where is the online chat support for 'Skype Premium' users? I just can't find it on the skype website at all.

    So to answer my questions, 
    you'll need to click support first, 
    then either search or not search a topic for help, the heavily advertised "Live Chat" support is buried 
    in the bottom and with a different confusing name called "Get More Help",
    Then you will be forced to search your problem again first, 
    click "Get More Help" again, 
    login,
    then you will be asked to select a topic
    Select issue
    Problems huh? Take a seat and tell us about it. 
    Start by choosing a topic below.
    Choose a help topic "
    then you have the live chat support.
    Bravo Skype, I can see why Skype can't make any progress and sold to MS and there's Viber coming in.
    A company put the customer service to the last and least will not survive very long. 

  • Skype premium not working.

    I extended my skype premium subscription on the 14th for an entire year. On the 3rd of this month It was not allowing me to make calls out within US and Canada anymore. Upon looking at my account It said my Premium subscription had expired which I knew should be impossible.
    Looking back at my payment history I was charged for the premium service and I immediately went to the Skype Live Chat for support. Talking to Cheryl there she stated that when I purchesed an extension on my premium subscription it did not prompt me to choose US and Canada as it did last year. Moments after that she asked for my email to continue the support via email. Two days later no email back. What gives? I have been billed for a service I cannot use. What do I do now?

    hello
    So i tried to use Group video calling today but it told me that i need skype premium to use it. Well i was just doing a group video call last night and it was fine.
    So i had looked into my account status and its still a premium account according to my profile on the Skype website so what's going on here? I have Skype Premium but its telling me that i don't. According to the site i have it but the actual software is telling me otherwise.
    Was just working last night as i said. So can someone please tell me how to fix this issue so i can go back to group calling?
    Even the program tells me i have skype premium but when i try to do a group call it gives me the popup that i don't and it turns off the groups video.
    Thanks.

  • New 12-Month Premium Subscription Charging Minutes...

    Greetings -
    I recently purchased a 12-month Skype Premium subscription, which includes the unlimited calling to landlines and mobile numbers in the US and Canada. Unfortunately, calls are still costing me credit, even though I have an active Premium Subscription.
    The subscription shows as active on my account, and I have not exceeded the fair-use policy.
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Upgrade to skype premium

    I currently have 6 1/2 months left on my unlimited minutes subscription and would like to get skype premium. Will I get a rebate on the old subscription or do I need to wait until May to do the change?

    Hi,
    For group video calls only one of the participants needs to have Skype Premium subscription.
    One to one video calls are free of charge.

  • Premium Subscription and USA Subscription interact...

    I have three subscriptions: 60 minutes to the USA, 120 minutes to Germany and recently purchased a Skype Premium subscription. WHen I call Germany, the German subscription is consumed. WHen I call the USA, the Preium, not the USA subscription, is consumed first. I would like the USA subscription ot be consumed first and when either of the Subscriptions run out, then consume the Premium. What do I need to do?

    I have a premium subscription and I cant call landlines when I try it says must add credit or buy a subscription!!!  Whats going on!!!!
    Did you pick a specific country for your unlimited calling to landlines?  If so, which country?  And what number are you trying to reach (omit the last 4 digits - we don't need to see the full number).
    The problems may be related to the number you are trying to reach.  If the number is a mobile number, it would not be covered by Skype Premium.  You'd have to either have Skype Credit on your account, or purchase an additional subscription to cover calls to mobile phones in a particular country (if a subscription is available for that country).  The other issue may be that many countries have special classes of numbers that are not considered "landlines" in the context of any Skype subscription.  These numbers are usually referred to as "special service" or "shared cost" numbers.  They may be landline phones, but with different rate structures.  Examples of these include 0845 and 0870 numbers in the UK and 13 and 1300 numbers in Australia.  These special numbers are only reachable using Skype Credit.  You can usually see what some of these numbers are when you look at the "pay as you go" link at the bottom of this page, and select specific countries. 
    Hope that helps!

  • Skype premium and 'reward' of Unlimited World subs...

    Reward for existing Skype Premium Subscribers?
    When I saw the May 2014 email about Premium changing and premium subscribers being 'rewarded', I thought it was great because we have family outside of the USA but the way this has been handled was not the best and now we have a mess with my account and support doesn't seem equipped to help. Here is my history...
    Watched my Paypal Charged for the Unlimited World - (a charge that I did not request)
    My account has been in a state since 14 May myself - I saw a charge as it was applied to my Paypal account, it was for the unlimited world subscription that I did not purchase. I immediately contacted skype and Skype Support offered to refund that money and the switch to Unlimited World would happen soon after without any charges.
    Endless Support Conversations
    Now, I have been having chat's and exchanging emails with Skype because I was told:
    1. I would automatically be switched to Unlimited World (as noted above) but this did not happen
    2. Then, I was told I would NOT be switched until Renewal. (support provided a link that explained this)0
    3. Then, I was told I would and already had been switched to unlimited world - which is not true
    4. Puchase History Descrepency - I've provided details that my Skype Purchase History shows fewer transactions than my Paypal account (as in charges and refunds from Skype). Skype history shows a refund only, Paypal shows a charge and a refund on the same day!
    The Support discussions are difficult:
    1. Partly because the english used is volumous but hard to understand (ESL, I have to think)
    2. Partly because each person seems to assure me things either are fixed (unsatisfactorily) or will be fixed (satisfactorily) - and this issue has not been resolved.
    3. Partly because each person doesn't seem to have a complete picture of the problem I have been describing.
    Each time, we seem to discuss some smaller details instead of the real issue.
    I've been using skype for over 10 years now and the change since Microsoft has taken over is very strange on the support side.
    Has anyone else had such problems or noticed such a change with Skype (which used to be somewhat hip and cool)?
    L
    Skype user from nearly the beginning! Loved the early Skype, challenges and all. (Have been a member of nearly all versions of Skype forums over the years but history has been forgotten.)

    I believe the objective and query of my communications both here and with both Skype Support Live Chat and Skype Support by email has been clear from the beginning - I have been asking "when" the Skype Unlimited World Calling would be added to my Skype Premium account as noted in the May 2014 email saying Premium subscriptions would be rewarded - Noting that I had made a call to Spain and saw my credit being deducted when I expected the Unlimited World Subscription might have been applied (which I thought was a great reward).
    Overall, I don't think this is a terribly difficult issue, at least not until I got involved with Skype's various support representatves. Here is a brief summary, chronologically (summarised because there have been more the 5 exchanges with Support so far):
    1. When? - Looking for a time when the Unlimited World Calling would be applied to my account.
    2. Charge/Refund? - Asking that an unrequested charge against my account be explained and then accepting the offer of Skype support to refund that money and being told the Unlimited World Calling would be applied to my account in some time.
    3. Support says 'Resvoled' - Looking for the Unlimited World Calling some time later, being told that it HAS been applied when it was not.
    4. Please Verify - Asking for Support to check my account to verify that the Unlimited World Calling WAS actually applied to my account because I could not see it.
    5. Descrepency - I then pointed out to Skype Support that I now see a descrepency between what I see on my Skype Purchase History vs. my Paypal Charge/Refund history.
    All of the above is in the interest of the conversion from my current Preimium with a single country subscription to the Unlimited World Calling subscription.
    Below is the response to my last query (that covered both 4 and 5 above) but I maintained that my over arching goal was as I stated at the top of this post (yet again):
    We appreciate your response.
    We understand that you are confused about the charges that you got last December 17, 2013 for the Skype premium subscription for £41.262 and another charged last may14, 2014 for the Unlimited World 12 months with the same cost.
    Here is the explanation about that.
    The Skype premium that you have purchased last December 17, 2014 is a bundled subscription. Meaning aside from the group video calling feature, it also have the Unlimited World 12 months that you can use to call other countries for the amount of £41.262 instead of £86.76.
    However, Group Video Calling is now free and Group Video Calling is the main feature of Skype Premium. Skype replace your calling subscription that was bundled to your Skype premium with Unlimited World 12 months. That is why it has the same price as your old Skype Premium subscription.
    Also the charged for the Unlimited World 12 months has been refunded already last May 14, 2014.
    We do apologize for the confusion this has cause you.
    We hope that this information clarified your questions.
    Best regards,
    Skype Customer Service
    In my work, I communicate successfully by email with multinational global companies, both senior and middle management, on a daliy basis so I don't believe I am being unclear in my communications (experience would say I don't have a problem communicating).
    Can anyone else see that the responses are dealing with individual details instead of the real issue?
    Should I respond to the email above AGAIN trying to explain that this does NOT resolve my issue?
    I'm slowly being frustrated into submission and then cancelling... all the experience here is just too painful.  (I dread checking my emails from skype now...really not enjoying this.)

    For group video calls only one of the participants needs to have Skype Premium subscription.

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
