Skype users who have Internet Exporer version 6 installed on their computer may notice that when making payments from within Skype software, several blank IE windows are opened.

This happens when users enter the payment flow from the "My Account" link in Skype -- in addition to payment pages, up to ten blank IE windows open as well. Also, when trying to enter the payment flow under "Buy Skype Credit", the front page begins loading and then freezes.

This is a technical issue that we are in the process of fixing. Until the issue is resolved, we suggest making your payments either from "My Account" within Skype software, or from the Skype website.

Apologies for the annoyance. We'll take care of it.

UPDATE: Issue has been resolved on 24th January at 12:03 GMT
