Re: Buy Credit transfer me to Chinese TOM website

It seems you've created your country in China using the TOM Skype client. This way it's attached to TOM China and you need to buy credit via them.

If you want to use international payment options unfortunately you need to create a new account.

I recommend to download the latest Skype and search first.
To get the most out of Skype I recommend Skype Premium.

Re: Buy Credit transfer me to Chinese TOM website

Hi Claudius,

I did not create my account in China, but it still diverts me to the Tom China website. Is there any way to get around this?

Many thanks!

Re: Buy Credit transfer me to Chinese TOM website

There is no solutions.  You contacted the rep in the U.S.  after verifying/confirming/delaying/making you pissed!!  you would only get one answer.  "your account is opeened in china, we can't help you"    f'them.. prove the accoutn was opened was in china... for god's sake..  bunch of M.O.RONS.

 

you contact the rep in china.  they speak no english, after months and more anger. then you will be redirect back to this website.

So to buy credit,

On Serach engine, type skype sign in, it will come up ' create account, app, payment and price, support...etc

click payment and price, you will be able to sign in US site. I hope it helps.

Or use VPN or ask a friend to sign in your account to buy credit.
