Using Skype credit to (re)activate Skypenumber

Hi, I have a skypenumber that I want to reactivate. Costs euro 18.I bought skype credit for euro 25 using idEal (total now euro 27) 
When I reactivate my skypenumber I do NOT get an icon where I can select Skype credit that I just paid for, just credit card options I do not want to use. Does anyone know how to use Skype Credit to (re) new a skype number? This icon that is promised in the help section really does NOT appear anywhere. 

I got the skype number and instead of adding $10 worth of credit, I added $25 with the hope that I will use them again. I couldn't use them all but then skype expired my number. I think it is totally very cheap an unethical of skype to hoard somebody's money like this. The subscription should not expire as long as I have skype credit.   I purchased skype number with the hope of keeping it forever as long as I had my credit in there. Instead, I find out that I have to pay an extra $18 to keep the number and reactivate my skype credit. I am very angry. I am unemployed and need every dime to myself. If I were to pay for monthly subscription, then I could myself get a "go phone" and receive MUCH better voice quality. Skype voice quality sucks and they have the audacity to ask for subscripton fee?

    Hello
    Not all users can pay using Skype Credit. If the option isn't presented in the purchase flow it's not available to you.

  • Use skype credit for subscription

    Hi evertone,
    I was wonderen if I could use my Skype credit to pay for a subscription.
    I've got enough money in my account to pay for the one I would like to use plus I can remember, that I could use my credit whilst having an automatic (renewing every month) subscription.
    Thanks for your help

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Skype Credit isn't available to purchase Subscriptions to everyone, The best way to check if you can use this funding option is to proceed through this purchase flow of your chosen Subscription. If the option is presented it means that you can use and vice-versa.

  • Cabbit use skype credit to dial landline and mobile

    I have been using Skype for over 10 years, and work internationally, so it really comes in handy for me , escept when I have poor WIFI,,,, I use it on desktop and my Iphone,,,, This week my account was suspended for suspicious activity and I was forced to submit information to reactivate and change my password,,, now that I went through all that, I still cannot dial landline and mobile phones although I have 35$ credit showing on my account,,,I have not been told why the account was suspended in the frst place,,, and now I am travelling and cannot even use it ,,,, I am very dissappointed at the process and difficulty to contact anyone who can reactivate my service... Any other service that suspects suspicious activity would simply inform me by my known email,, and resent verification link to the email to initiate a reset,,, but instead,, microsoft goes through an extended automated process, while the customer is forced to sit and wait,, then doesnt even know in the end why the problem started in the first place,,, I am slowly migrating away from microsoft,, and this is just another reason why,,,,

    Your credit balance is currently $9.94 which is not enough to fund your required Subscription which costs $11.99/month. Your credit will remain in your account and can be used for other purchases.

  • Using Skype to travel

    I live in the U.S. and am traveling to Spain.  I have $10 credit.  Am I correct in understanding that I'll spend less then 3 cents per minute to call my house phone?
    I tested call from my IPAD and IPHONE to the house phone and it cost 8 cents for a 14 second call.  Which is where my confusion comes from.
    Also, when I verified (on internet) how to dial, I found that I have to dial 00-1-area code-phone number.  On skype is this reduced to +1 (the + translating to 00) ?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi, jcoleicons, and welcome to the Community!
    I appreciate how confusing call rates can be; generally speaking, call rates using Skype credit are more expensive than calling fixed or land lines via a subscription.  Remember, too, that calling from a wireless device will be more expensive when roaming!  Check your plans with your wireless carrier to ensure you are subscribed to the best calling plans available.  Wi-Fi hot spots may not always be secure, however they offer a less expensive alternative to placing calls ... Skype 5.8.0.158 also has the facility to use Skype credit for Wi-Fi access (Tools -> Options -> General -> Skype Wi-Fi -> Save).
    Your observations are correct on how to place outgoing calls to land lines from Skype; it is convenient not to have to add the 001 in order to reach an international circuit; it is quite handy to simply use the drop-down menu in Call Phones, choose the country you are dialing to, and then the rest of the number (city or area code and local exchange number).
    Too much information!!   Please post back if you have further questions.  Bon Voyage!
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Skype credit dropping too quickly

    I just attepted to make two calls to Ecuador from Ecuador. Neither went through, got a recorded message and hung up within seconds. My Skype credit droped $1.02 USD. That is clearly incorrect as I have used Skype credit before and it only cost me $0.02 USD/min. I would like a refund for this lost credit. An explanation would be welcome as well. If this is indeed the correct cost then I would like to get a full refund on the $10 USD I just added to my account. Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your account shows that you made 8 successful and 4 unsuccessful calls within Ecuador on April 17th 2015 including 3 calls to a cellphone. You were charged in accordance with our published rates on each occasion.

  • How to get a Skype credit refund: my Mac is no lon...

    Skype normally does not give refunds unless credit was purchased in the last 15 days. However, I can no longer use Skype credit because of Skype policy: Skype will not allow my Mac to connect, it has disabled by version of Skype.
    I cannot upgrade (in spite of Skype's idiotic messages telling me to do so), because Skype no longer has software that works on My PowerPC Mac running Mac OS 10.4.
    Skype's page on Mac OS 10.4 says to contact "customer service",
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34492/
    but only provides a link to a page with the normal policy on refunds.
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/
    It's unfair to prevent me from using Skype, then prevent me from getting a refund on a credit Skype will not allow me to use.
    How can I get a refund?

    Have you ever read "Catch 22"? Or "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"? Or anything by Kafka?
    Because telling anyone to contact Skype Customer Service is telling them to take a trip through the surreal, which will achieve nothing. It is essentially not possible to "contact Skype customer service". The closest I've gotten is an online chat with someone who would not read what I wrote (asking questions I'd already answered) and who ultimately said Skype policy prevented him from granting a refund.
    So, Skype gets to take my money, but refuses to allow me to use its service, by disabling my software, and then refuses to refund my money.
    I don't care what the terms of service say. Almost anyone would think that highly unethical, and many would consider it stealing.
