Three FAQs about the Skype Control Panel

Copy from blog: Skype for business

We have been receiving some frequently asked questions relating to the Control Panel, so I will try and address these here in this blog post.

1. Can I purchase the North America Unlimited Calling plan via the control panel.

You are not able to purchase unlimited calling plan using the control panel. However, we have now added the ability to purchase these plans using Skype Credit. So what you would need to do is add credit to the Control Panel, then allocate the credit to a user and ask them to sign up themselves from their account, using the credit you have allocated to them.

2. Why is there no free Voicemail when you purchase SkypeIn numbers via the control panel.

This is a known problem which we are working to fix. In the meantime, if you purchase a SkypeIn number via the control panel and contact customer support, they will provide you with a voicemail voucher so you can get the free voicemail that way.

3. Why does my PayPal purchase option disappear after a few purchases?

This is due to automatic fraud protection rules which have been implemented on Paypal purchases. So if the PayPal option has disappeared it probably means you have exceeded your monthly limit for PayPal purchases to the control panel. After 30 days this option will reappear and you can make additional purchases using Paypal. In the meantime, you would need to use one of the other payment options offered, such as a bank transfer.

Here is some more information on how the credit restrictions are applied:

To be able to use your credit card for Skype for Business purchases the administrator who is purchasing needs to have made several SkypeOut calls over a period of at least 3 months, placed 2 or more orders and not have any fraudulent transactions recorded for your Skype Name.

To see your order history to determine when your first order was place please visit Order History

If you do not meet these requirements you will only be able to purchase using Moneybookers or bank transfer if it is available in your country. Also PayPal is available for up to 30 EUR per month until the above requirements are met and these restrictions lifted. Moneybookers also offers credit card payment
- please follow instructions on Moneybookers site.

I lost my password. How can I retrieve it?

Copy from Skype Support Help

If you have forgotten your password then the only way to gain access to your account is to have a new password token sent to the e-mail which you have registered with Skype.

If you entered an email address when you registered for Skype, you can request a new password by filling out this form after which a password token will be e-mailed to you.

Please note that the token is valid for 6 hours from the time of generation.The email you receive will contain a link to our secure website where you can then change your password using the token.

===

Didn't receive the password token to your email inbox?

Your password token may have been sent to your Junk Mail folder. Please check your Junk Mail folder.

If the password token was not in your e-mail Inbox or your Junk Mail folder then please check if your issue could be one of the following:

  • You did not give us your email address when you registered with Skype.
  • You gave us incorrect email address when you registered with Skype.
  • You registered with a different email address

In any of these cases - if you have purchased Skype Credit or any other paid services from Skype then let us know by contacting Skype Customer Support and we will try to verify your account using your billing information.

If you did not enter your email address, you will have to register again as a new Skype user.
