How can I reactivate my Skype Credit?

In principle, Skype is free to use, as you call and chat via your internet connection. However, you also have the option to call a landline or mobile number. However, for this you need to load credit on your Skype account. However, if your credit has been made inactive, you will need to reactivate it first.

How to reactivate your Skype Credit

To use Skype, you first need to create a free account. After that, it is possible to make phone calls with your contacts over the Internet. If you want to call a landline or mobile number, this is only possible if you add credit to your account. However, the credit can be deactivated in case of long inactivity. Usually around 180 days must have passed for this to happen. In this case, you can only use the credit again when you have reactivated it.

1. Open Skype on your computer or go to the corresponding website of the application.
2. Then log in with your data. Verwenden Sie hierfür, wenn möglich, Ihren Benutzernamen anstatt Ihrer E-Mail-Adresse.
3. Anschließend können Sie bei Ihrem Guthaben auf die Schaltfläche „Guthaben wieder aktivieren“ klicken.
4. Auf dem iPhone oder iPad kann es passieren, dass Ihnen die Option nicht angezeigt wird. In diesem Fall ist es meist notwendig, den Verlauf und die Cookies Ihres Geräts zu löschen.
5. Beachten Sie zudem, dass die Aktivierung bis zu 15 Minuten in Anspruch nehmen kann.
