What's up with Skype credit?

When I try to buy credit, I am taken to a web page that's all in Chinese.

I suggest you post your question on the Skype forums, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Purchase of online number with Skype Credit

I purchased $30, but I of Skype credit and went to purchase an online number with it, but I keep getting the same message to sign in to my account to purchase. I am signed in, it says hello to me. So the next thing I tried was to sign out of Skype completely and Quit it on the desk top, then sign in again. nope same message. I selected a special number for this and now it is expiring because I can't make skype take skype credit! What so I do, time is short. With the plan I purchased I was suppose to have live chat with skype to troubleshoot the problem, but I don't have access to that either!

Question: if I buy an online number and a 3 month subscription, what does it cost to call per minute (in Sweden only) or do I call for this (Fair Usage Policy), see below.
Fair Usage Policy?

Problems with skype credit

Greatings,
I recently tried to buy skype credits with a credit card but it failed several times. I am sure that the amount on the card is enough for my purchase
and also the information I'm sending is correct. There must be something else.
I am from Bulgaria and my credit card is from bulgarian bank. Is there a problem with that? I heard that some skype-credit features are not supported in some countries.
Looking forward to your reply!
Kind regards,
Alexandrov

Ditto. We use paysafecards to hopefully refrain from entering too much personal info.
Though with this unlimited thing that we have to do in order to buy credit is a hassle and also defeats all purpose of using the paysafecard service.
Ahwell, time to find another way to contact relatives who lives far away untill they change this bad policy.

Hearing problems with Skype credit phone calls

Am using Skype on an iphone4. When I make Skype credit calls to landlines or mobile phones I can hear the people on the other end well but they often complain that they can hear me just barely or really poorly. The Skype microphone setting is on ON.
If it were my wifi connection then I should also have problems hearing the other party but I don't.

I think Skype is sitting in US pretty comfortably. It was the first VoIP company, now there are hundreds of them. So, being unable to keep in pace with normal rivalry the pioneer company continued business nevertheless...

Why can't I pay for a subscription with Skype cred...

I'm a little confused and want to purchase a monthly subscription through Skype, but when my credit was under a dollar, it wouldn't allow me to purchase it. So, I recharged my credit. Now, when I go to sign up for a subscription, it wants to charge my credit card again. Why can't I use the credit that it just made me sign up for? Can I purchase the monthly subscription and get a refund on my $14?

Hi Amber,
Basically you can get a refund for your Skype Credit orders, but instead could you check if you can change payment method to Skype Credit as shown here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1781/How-can-I-pay-for-a-subscription
You can't then you can make a refund request as shown here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/How-do-I-request-a-refund

What's wrong with skype support?

Hi, I bought a subscription to call Finland, so I can call my 87yr. old mother. Worked fine for few months. This summer we took a trip to Finland to go see her. When we got back I tried calling her with Skype and her number was blocked by Skype. I contacted their support and they assured me this block would be taken away. I tried calling later againg and it was back. I now received email from Skype saying her number is blocked and I can't call it anymore with Skype???? I was told on the chat line it's because "fraudulent use" ??? My mother has not received any strange phone calls and she does not have a computer. I would sure like to talk with a supervisor, but even after requesting this on the chat all I get is this email giving me no reason why her number is suddenly blocked. This is VERY strange behavior by the Skype customer support. As a consequence of this I lost $4.99 on my subscription for not being able to make calls to my mom. I have now cancelled my subscription. Has anyone else had a similar situation?

Sorry to hear about your experience suffering from our ongoing anti-fraud activities. We take the security of user accounts and their product use very seriously which is why the number you were calling had to undergo an investigation. We've concluded that investigation and you should be able to call the number again now.

What is wrong with Skype?

Hello everybody!
I've been using skype about 8 years from now but now I'm getting problems like this:
•When trying to recall somebody it just instantly hangs up.
•When I hang up on somebody, Skype just freezes(goes Not Responding) and unfreezes after 2-5 minutes.
•When I was talking with my friends in group call with web cameras on, something happens after talking more than 1 hour, for example, cameras just turns off, same is happening to screen sharing.
•When talking to somebody it's impossible to send pictures or documents, I mean small files, not more than 30MB. Any file is sending slowly(10kb/s), even though sender and receiver have fast internet speeds(More than 20mbps).
This was happening last week, still have these problems sometimes.
What should I do? By the way, Skype isn't using more than 15% of my CPU even when Not Responding.
Thank You!
Kalvis

What to do with unused credit?

EXACTLY!!! The effect lessens with the MORE you have. If you close cards, the less you have in the future to nullify the closing effect. Thank you for pointing that out. So if the effect LESSENS with the MORE cards you have, then it makes sense to NOT CLOSE them.

johnnyconsumer wrote:
I have never really understood the "close it" mentality. When all these accounts that get closed fall off your credit report in 10 years, you will have a major dip in your average age of accounts. Sure it may not seem like a big deal now, but when your AAoA goes from say 10-20 years to say 5 years, you will probably kick yourself for closing "unneeded" accounts.You don't understand in part because a person's open and closed accounts would have also aged in that time. It's a call that each needs to make and it is not a one-size-fits-all matter. If you prefer to keep everything open then definitely do so but don't assume that it's the best approach for everyone. AAoA isn't the only consideration anyway and it's generally 15%. If one cannot or will not actively montior all accounts then fraud is a potential concern. The number of accounts that one can manage will vary from person to person. I have no problems managing my 13 card but there are certainly those that prefer only having a few accounts. I've never kept accounts open that are of no use to me and AAoA has never been an issue. My FICO's tend to be right around 800. I could possibly eke out more points with a higher AAoA but it's really not worth it to me as I'm already well above the 740-760 mark. Each has to do what works for the individual. johnnyconsumer wrote:

It's an average. Both the number of accounts and the ages of the accounts matter. A strong AAoA can be built with a few well aged accounts. Again, don't assume that these are one-size-fits-all matters. If X works for you, that's great. The next may use a different approach. johnnyconsumer wrote:
If i had 3 30 year old cards and two new cards and decided to get rid of the old ones I dont use, then in 10 years from now I would go to a 10 year AAoA, instead of 28 year AAoA.We create all sorts of scenarios where AAoA is drastically impacted and where AAoA is minimally impacted -- and many points in between. One should keep AAoA in mind but, again, it's just one factor among many and one needs to keep one's entire credit profile in mind. Any set of decisions is a matter of making improvements in one area and compromising others. Each needs to to decide where the individual is willing to make such changes. One simply cannot assume that the proper course of action is to always maximize AAoA regardless of other considerations.

What's wrong with skype

Hi.
After latest system updates, skype started to throw segfaults.
skype
[1] 5729 segmentation fault (core dumped) skype
I thing it has something to do with glib or glib2, because of the huge updates of GNOME libs and packages today.
Any fix/workaround?

:: lib32-atk: requires lib32-glib2>=2.25.17
error: could not install package /tmp/lib32-glib2-2.24.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
ehh, only problems today I don't have that time to deal with this now. hope this gets fixed soon.

What's wrong with Skype and Firefox? In today evening I received a notice about Skype. "Get a way Skype extencion"? Security problem!? !?

On alert window
Take off extension and start computer.

Mozilla has decided to blocklist the Skype extension because of all the problems it is causing.
See http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/01/20/blocking-the-skype-toolbar-in-firefox/
<blockquote>The blocklist entry will be a “soft block”, where the extension is disabled and the user is notified of the block and given the option to re-enable it if they choose. It’s also important to note that the Skype application itself will continue to work as it always has; only the Skype Toolbar within Firefox is being disabled.

What to do with skype

Well all of a sudden after using the file cleaning program BAM skype malfunctioned
the view of the person i was talking to on video skype was narrow instead of wide.
Tried everything deleted the plist file then erased the app and reinstalled it.
Still the view remained narrow. If BAM had permanently messed some setting up on my mac air then i guess skype would remain messed up but if it did not and i reinstalled the app then why is the view still narrow.
IF anyone has a good theory or answer to this please do not hesitate to respond.
if not I understand and thanks anyways.

I started getting the same outgoing traffic this week. Balwarebytes flags an outgoing request to 77.78.2`4.199 on port 61438 on behalf of skype.exe. Lase week my account was hacked and a group of conference callers in Egypt and Indonesia ran up $57 in calls in under 4 hours. Do you have any Skype credits on your account or a subscription of any sort?

Pay for KPN HotSpots with Skype Wifi credit

Hello,
Is it possible to pay with Skype credit for KPN hotspots in Netherlands?
If possible, what are the prices for it?
Thank you,
Pavel

I found out myself when arriving to one in The Netherlands.
It is supported, and Skype offered me automatically to connect at a given (rather high) rate.
After the easy connection the disconnect button wasn't easily accessible and to make sure I disconnected, I also totally disabled WiFi.
Eventually, even after using extremely low time, it ate almost all my Skype credit (luckily I didn't have too much...).
