At the time of its creation, Skype was a novel invention, allowing people to video chat with one another on opposite sides of the globe. Because it was also free, it totally democratized this kind of technology and revolutionized the way we communicate online.

Now video chatting is a commonplace, but Skype is here to stay. Its basic services are free, and include instant messaging, file sharing, video chat, and free calls to anyone else on Skype. If you want to pay a bit more, you can call landlines and cell phones worldwide, as well as send text messages and link up to Skype’s extensive global WiFi network.

If you have subscribed and decided you don’t want to use Skype any longer, canceling is fairly straightforward. Note that you can only request a refund within the first 15 days of your purchase and if you have not yet used your subscription. To do so, you must start a live chat after you’ve logged into your Skype account. To cancel a subscription you’ve already used so it will not renew, or to cancel your Skype number entirely, follow the steps below.

What You’ll Need:

• Your Skype username
• Your Skype password
• Access to a computer

Steps to Cancel:

1. Log into your Skype account.
2. Navigate to the top left of the screen, where you will see a tab that says “Subscriptions.” If you have more than one plan, you will see multiple subscriptions and will need to click the “Settings” tab next to the one you wish to cancel.
3. Click “Cancel Subscription”.
4. Confirm that you wish to cancel.
5. 5. Wait until the confirmation screen is displayed, then take a screenshot and file it in case you need to dispute charges later.
