First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. :^)

I am sorry to hear that you have had difficulties purchasing Skype Out minutes... I indeed heard about such difficulties but did not encountered them myself during my testing and was able to enter a credit card number in the online form. When I checked the forums to write this article, the situation seemed solved for most users — but maybe it was just a temporary situation.

I hope that you will get the help you need and deserve from the company...
