Real-time voice or video communication between users on mobile devices or computers
There is no documented self-service way to repair or reset the billing profile directly.
The supported path is:
- Open the Microsoft account profile at
https://account.live.com. - Go to Your info.
- Verify that language is set and not blank.
- Verify that country/region is correct.
- Save any corrections.
- Try adding or updating the billing address again.
- If it still fails, try the same update in an incognito/InPrivate browser session.
- After the billing address is accepted, reactivate Skype Credit from My Account by selecting Reactivate Credit.
A moderator-recommended resolution for the same billing-address failure was that the Microsoft account profile did not have a valid language/region locale set. After correcting the language/region information, the billing address could be saved.
Additional supported details:
- Skype Credit becomes inactive after 180 days of no use.
- Reactivation can take up to 15 minutes.
- An email is sent when reactivation is complete.
- If using iPhone or iPad and Reactivate Credit is not available, clear browser history and cookies, then sign in again.
- If the account shows Account blocked or paid services are unavailable, use the account-help flow for locked or compromised Skype accounts.
