Problem with Skype website.

sudzs

We have two laptops here, both using Vodafone dongles and neither is able to get onto the Skype website to buy credit. If I try to go through Skype itself, the account page just times out and asks if I am connected to a network. Any links to Skype webpages just do not load.

Is there some problem with Skype or is Vodafone blocking me??

Your plan doesn't support it. You will need to get an add-on that supports VoIP.

Calling over the internet (VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol) and data sharing (Peer to Peer) is not supported by the Vodafone's Unlimited Mobile Broadband Tariff. If you want to use such services you should purchase the tailored add-on in this regard.

Ah ok, that explains it. Thanks!
