If Skype Credit cannot be activated because the billing address update fails, use this sequence:
- Open
account.live.comand go to Your info. - Verify Language is selected and correct. A missing or invalid language/region setting can block billing address updates.
- Verify Country/Region is correct.
- Save any profile changes.
- Try updating the billing address again.
- If it still fails, use an InPrivate/Incognito browser window and try again.
- If needed, temporarily change Country/Region to another country, save, then change it back to the correct country and re-enter the billing address.
- After the billing info is accepted, try reactivating Skype Credit and then open the Skype Dial Pad again.
Relevant checks for calling:
- Make sure the same personal Microsoft/Skype account is signed in that holds the Skype Credit.
- If the account shows Account blocked, paid services may be suspended temporarily because of payment issues, and billing address information may be required before Skype Dial Pad can be used.
- Active subscriptions or Skype Credit can be checked by signing in to
https://calling.web.skype.com/.
