How do I get this limit increased. I am currently in Eastern Europe using Skype In and call forwarding quite extensively BUT my account shut down today after $100 this month. This is not acceptable as I need to be able to rely on my account working.

So how is this limit removed or raised? Please DO NOT suggest to use another payment method. That is not a solution to this problem.

The new month has now begun yet auto-recharge has not kicked back in. My account says that it is suspended, not canceled. When does it resume?

To have credit for calls I recharged with a credit card, which oddly it did allow after 00:00 GMT.

So if the limitation is against credit card usage of more than $100, why is one method working and not the other?

Certain limits apply to the amount of SkypeOut credit you can purchase within a given time period.
These limits depend on factors such as; your purchase history and the payment methods used.
To learn more about your purchasing options visit the limits section in your Skype account:
https://secure.skype.com/store/myaccount/limits.html
If you wish to purchase larger amounts of Skype credit you might like to sign-up for Skype for Business which allows higher volume purchases, however you will not be able to use your credit card or PayPal account for these orders until you have three months of payment history.

Your reply is nonsensical .... sign up for Skype for Business HOWEVER you will not be able to use your credit card or PayPal account for these orders until you have three months of payment history.

How will you obtain three months of payment history, if you cannot pay? Buying a Skype card at Wal-Mart certainly does not give one a payment "history". Besides, there are no Wal-Mart's in this part of the world.

Please explain this nonsensical answer, rather than linking something that does NOT answer the question -- or do I need to repeat the question?

Thank you!

?
My reply is perfectly correct thank you and addresses the question fully.
You ask: ''How will you obtain three months of payment history''
The answer is that you need to use another payment method until you have established a 3-moths purchase history.

That is Skype policy on the subject.
If you refer your question to Skype Customer Support you will get the same answer.
