Purchasing Skype Credits is Now Unavailable

You might have noticed that buying Skype Credit is no longer an option. This shift nudges those still using the platform to switch over to a subscription model for certain features. Previously, Skype Credit allowed users to make calls to mobiles and landlines or send SMS messages. It also used to let people buy a Skype Number, but Microsoft recently pulled the plug on purchasing new Skype Numbers.

A noticeable banner now greets visitors on Skype’s credit page, plainly stating, “Skype Credit is no longer available. For new purchases, check out the monthly subscriptions or make a free Skype call to anyone anytime.” Though Skype isn’t the giant it once was, it still boasts a user base in the millions. Microsoft hasn’t dropped specifics about how many of these folks relied on Skype Credit. However, it seems like the company anticipates the subscription plans will seamlessly fill that void for most users.

### What is Skype Credit?

In essence, Skype Credit served as a payment method for accessing certain paid features within Skype—like calling mobile phones and landlines. Additionally, it could be used to send SMS messages or acquire a Skype Number, although the latter has been discontinued.

### Can I use Skype without Skype Credit?

Yes, you still can. Even with Skype Credit off the table, making calls remains feasible. You just need a Skype monthly calling plan now, which varies in cost depending on your chosen destinations. Say, if you’re calling within the U.S., expect to pay about $3.59 monthly; hitting up India, though, will set you back around $9.59 each month.

There’s still some uncertainty about how these changes might impact SMS messaging through Skype. A support document notes that Skype Credits could be previously used to send SMS texts, yet the updated webpage doesn’t clarify if this feature is still functional. Considering how abruptly this transition was announced—TechCrunch first brought the news to light before Skype’s site reflected the change—further updates might flesh out these descriptions soon.

Microsoft has also confirmed that it’s no longer possible to buy new Skype Numbers. However, existing numbers will keep working. Similarly, any Skype Credit you already own will remain active, as long as you make sure to use it at least once every 180 days. Luckily, Skype’s core communication services, like messaging, voice calls, and video calls, won’t be affected by this shift away from Skype Credit. So, for millions of users, Skype remains a versatile communication tool through the web.
