No unlimited skips with Spotify Unlimited?

[KC43090]

I just bought Unlimited and noticed I still only get 6 skips an hour, saying I should upgrade because I'm a "free" account member.

Is this correct? If so I think it should be clear you need to get premium to do it, had I known I would have just bought Premium instead but now I've already paid for Unlimited.

I'm also still getting ads too.

Hi. Which platform are you using? If this is on a PC, could you try the steps in this post.

If you are using a mobile device or a tablet, Unlimited is the same as Spotify free on those platforms. Spotify Unlimited only removes restrictions and advertising on the desktop client.

If you want the full mobile experience, that is a premium feature.

So unlimited really only has use on PC? I only use Spotify on my iPhone.

Right, you need Premium for the full mobile experience. Otherwise you only get the same features as Free users. This chart sets out the main differences.

It's a little hard for new users like me. I just got Unlimited and i got nothing for it.  On the site is not enough information about unlimited. Thats just my opinion. 

And how can you go premium if you dont have a creditcard?

The same way you got Unlimited? 

Spotify Unlimited is no longer actively advertised since Spotify free now has the majority of the features.

I felt the same, not enough info on Unlimited such that it easily convinced me it would give me no ads and unlimited on my iPhone as well. Spent multiple messages with support trying to get it work on my phone. Seems they are as confused as I was. Finally was told I need to update to premium. Asked for refund and to cancel my account. I could have save both of us a lot of time 😞
