More currencies: Yen and Pound
By
Jaanus on October 21, 2005 in Skype Beta and new releases.
If you're using or planning to use Skype paid services, you can now switch to Japanese Yen or British Pound on your [Skype My Account page](http://www.skype.com/go/myaccount). Log on, click on Settings and Change Currency. Your Skype Credit balance and all purchases will then be in that currency. Previously, there were Euro and US Dollar available, so now you can use EUR, USD, GBP, YEN. More currencies coming up.
UPDATE: we first posted this announcement last Friday but pulled it because there was a problem with some Pound payments not coming through. Everything has been sorted out and is working fine now. As always, if you notice anything wrong with your payment or account, please contact our [support](http://www.skype.com/go/help.ticket.submit).

Changing currency caused an error and now it shows as no currency at all and will not allow me to buy credits even though I have never bought any before. Support (eventually) simply told me where on the site to change currency (!), which is not helpful at all. I re-installed Skype with a new user name, but am expecting it to reject my credits purchase through Paypal because it does not allow multiple accounts with the same credit card. Very frustrating because my son is in the army overseas and I got Skype sepcifically to phone him. Very poor.

Skype is brilliant with my family being overseas however topped up my account on the 14/10 funds left my paypal account and did not show up on skype, despite 2 emails to the billing section no response, it is now the 28th Oct more than enough time for this to have been sorted. This lack of customer care is frustrating and ignorant. Is anyone from skype going to help me on this or do i have to keep posting frustrated messages or look elsewhere for service?

I buy a USB PHONE at skype Shop they deliver it reel fast. But as soon i've install an access violation put my computer out of work. I've run all the help , i've send Email to skype:They answer they are real bizzy and wont be able to answer before a week. So i had believe it was a serious company and it is to cash money but if you're in problem with them stoff they dont give a shit.
BEFORE BUYING AT SKYPE STORE YOU MAY THINK OF THAT!

Perfect and easy-to-use. The C# example is better than others available in C++... You can learn the basics of Skype API handling with this very simple, GUI-based example.
