To call phone numbers in a web browser using existing Skype Credit, the call must be made through the Skype Dial Pad entry points and the account must have active (not expired) credit.
Follow these checks and steps:
- Verify that the Skype Credit is active
- Skype Credit is deactivated if not used for 180 days. In that case, calls will not work and the web experience can show that there is no paid product.
- If credit was deactivated, reactivate it from the Skype Credit reactivation page linked from the Skype help article: how do I reactivate Skype Credit.
- Make sure the correct Skype/Microsoft account is used
- If the browser shows that there is no paid product, it can mean sign-in is with a different account than the one that owns the credit.
- Compare the Skype Name on the Skype Profile page with the Skype Name mentioned in the email or account where the credit was purchased.
- Use the supported Skype Dial Pad entry points
- Skype is being retired, and calls to landlines/mobiles with Skype Credit now use the Skype Dial Pad:
- These entry points only work if there is an active subscription, active Skype number, or active Skype Credit on that account.
- Confirm the number and destination are supported
- Ensure the number is dialed correctly with country code (either select the country or use "+" plus the country code).
- Some premium-rate or country-specific numbers cannot be called with Skype.
- Check for service or browser issues
- Confirm there are no ongoing Skype service issues on the Skype Status page.
- Use a supported browser for Skype for Web (for example, recent versions of Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome on desktop).
If, after confirming the correct account and reactivating credit if needed, the Dial Pad still does not appear or calls still cannot be placed, the issue is typically account/credit status rather than the browser itself.
