Skype Ripped Me Off!

I've tried all the VOIP services currently available and found that Skype works the best so I paid them for a 1yr subscription which they advertised as having unlimited calling to any phone.
I started using it to call my friends and one day it just cut me off. When I tried to call back I got a message that I couldn't call anymore since I had zero credit so I emailed tech support asking why I needed credit and they said that I didn't since I had a subscription. When I found that I was not using the newest version of Skype I downloaded it again and installed it and could call again but when it's installing it still says I get unlimited calling to any phone. I made a few more calls and was cut off again so I emailed support again and got a reply saying I had used up all my 60 minutes of available time and couldn't use anymore until next month!
What kind of "unlimited" subscription gives you just 60 minutes a month? It's nothing but a scam!

Has your problem been resolved yet? Did you pay for the $71 (I think it is) annual subscription?

I paid for the annual several weeks ago, made one call, and then had my account blocked for "verification." It persisted for nearly a week after my payment had cleared with them. I was outraged, as you obviously are. I emailed customer "service" repeatedly, I combed the paltry Skype forums, and I called the fraud department at my bank.

Finally I got a forum senior to address the issue for me with the invisible "higher ups," and I'll be darned if it wasn't all resolved once and for all the next day. The forum I dealt with was specifically the "blocked account" forum, and yours seems to be a subscription-type issue, but I suggest that if the situation is still unresolved you find an appropriate forum and look around for someone posting with some obvious high level of authority and deal with him or her directly.

Good luck! It's a good service, when they let us use it.
