Talked just a few minutes but charged for an hour

Yesterday I had a mobile call just for a few minutes.I have been billed nearly nine euro for this for an hour.

Is it possible to get calls automatically terminated after a few minutes?

Most probably i did not terminate the call and the mobile handy on the other end too did not switch off.

Plesae help.

Could you please contact customer service with this and point out the call from your call history: https://secure.skype.com/account/call-history

They can have a look and see what can be done.

Re: Talked just a few minutes but charged for an hour

thank u andre for the quick response.i downloaded the call history but unable to locate a support address to send it.tried all means.i had been using automatic recharge per paypal

for many years and this is the first thing that i terminated.

sept.11 16:01 +94770421---,sri lanka-mobile  rateper min euro0.13 cents duration 01:05:51 Euro8.659  are the details in the call history.i talked for only less than six minutes.

please provide me with a direct email or land mail address to inform the authorities concerned.

i do not want to overeact and publicise this skype-flaw too soon.but this is quite a serious flaw in the system which may cause innocent skype customers paying fortunes.

thank you Andre.
