I have $12.34 Skype credits left. I am prompted to 'update my billing information'. I have attempted to do so and get an error message 'it's not you it's us..try again later'. I have waited until later..same problem. How do I fix this

    Hi Stefania,

    For your concern, this looks like a Skype billing-profile issue. In this case, the suggested workaround is to fix the Microsoft account profile language field first:

    • Please sign into https://account.live.com > Your info,
    • Make sure the language field is not blank/incorrect. If it is, have it set up to the correct language.
    • Also review your country/region and make sure they are correct.
    • Update your billing address again and see if that helps.

    You can try these steps and let me know if it works. If not, please feel free to reach out again in the comments on this post. I'm happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I'm looking forward to your reply.
