when i try to reactivate mx dad's 'inactive skype credit' by clicking on "reactivate credit" at

https://calling.web.skype.com/account/credit_reactivation

i am told "There was an issue processing credit reactivation, because your billing address is missing. Please update your billing information and try again later."

And when i enter the billing info i get an error message along the lines "it's our fault" and no further orientation on what to do next.This for the last several weeks...

What can i do?

    Try this sequence:

    1. Verify the correct Skype account is being used. Sign in with the exact same Skype/Microsoft account that holds the Skype Credit. If multiple Microsoft accounts exist, the credit may be on a different one.
    2. Reactivate the credit from the official reactivation page instead of the Dial Pad flow. Go to My Account and select Reactivate Credit, or use the direct reactivation page referenced in Skype support.
    3. Check and correct the Microsoft account profile details before retrying billing address entry. In the Microsoft account profile, open Your info and make sure language, country/region, and profile details are filled in correctly. Then try adding or updating the billing address again.
    4. If saving the billing address still fails, try a private/incognito browser session and retry.
    5. On iPhone or iPad, if Reactivate Credit is missing, clear browser history and cookies, then sign in again.
    6. After reactivation, wait up to 15 minutes. A confirmation email is sent when reactivation completes.
    7. Then reopen the Skype Dial Pad in Teams Free or on the web and check again. The Dial Pad is available only when the account has active Skype Credit or an active subscription.

    If the billing-address error continues after the profile details are corrected and retrying in incognito mode, use Skype support from the support contact page.
