    Why the F @Skype has added random contacts in my chat list. There are so many random people chats (empty) in my Skype (now @MicrosoftTeams ) on November 29, 2024. I haven’t even logged in Skype and yet … this is causing a huge issue in my relationship… #skype @Microsoft

    @Skype We cannot contact our families in Iran as the internet is shot down by IRI. Will u support #IranProtests2020 by making calls to lines and cells in Iran free of charge? #مهسا_امینی

    @Skype I have a problem with my account, but getting in touch with Skype is a challenge! I need my account for my work on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Could you please help out @SkypeSupport? #beatNTDs

    @Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.

    It is mind-blowing that @Microsoft is standing behind @MicrosoftTeams as an enterprise product. - Calls never connect - Major message synching issues between mobile and desktop - Super buggy Screw your AI offerings, fix basic software first my peeps or give us back @Skype.

    @Skype I'm having issues sending and receiving messages. It is not qn internet connectivity issue on my end. I have Uninstalled and reinstalled. Maybe an issue with your updwte?

    @equity_avenger My mom had the same exact person call us 17 times today from different numbers. They use @Skype and some illegal program to hijack other people's phone numbers. The FBI or whoever need to crack down on Skype.

    I miss the simplicity of @Skype ‘Heres an easy to use calling package that suits what you want. Here’s a number in the area you want. Away you go’ Tried teams & it was terrible to use.. Not user friendly at all & the amount of hurdles you have to go through is insane

  • NickBungay

    Let it be known: someone steals your account with @Skype, changed the email so you can’t access it, @Microsoft won’t help you. You need access to the account or have to fill out forms that go nowhere. If anyone knows how to uncover cr*****@emlpro.com send it my way. I wanna sue.

  • OnneVegter
    Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!

    .@Zoom @Skype @Webex how have none of y’all figured out a way to eliminate the awkward lag when your service is used for tv interviews???

  • JazzShaw
    Jazz Shaw (@JazzShaw) reported

    Been going down a rabbit hole. Anyone know (from experience, not the lies published online) how to cancel your @Skype account and stop them charging you without them threatening to cancel your @Microsoft account? Such a scam and it's almost impossible.

    @Skype When are the current billing issues and log in issues going to be sorted?

  • JeanThoensen

    Hey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.

  • SweepoutG

    @Skype You need to fix your ios app! The give feedback button wont even work. I am deleting Skype for now. Spam has gone rampant on there the last few days and there is no report as spam button just leave group.

    @ViberHelp @Skype It was. @Viber help seemed to blame everyone but themselves. Been with them for 10 years too.

    @Skype can you tell me when you will fix the problem of video calling from UK to Philippines. This has been down for over 3 weeks, reported to you and no response

    @Skype I can't make call. I have 27 minutes left, but you are asking more money. I think you have problem from the beginning of this month and still not yet solved. There is no support. What's going on?

    @Skype You make it impossible to speak to a human support member of staff. All I get is to post questions in the community. I need someone from Skype to help me!

    It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported

    @Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).

  • foremoststore
    The Foremoststore (@foremoststore) reported

    I bought a @Skype number and share it with my clients, when they call the number they got a "this number is not in use" ring. Can anyone help me? @SkypeSupport has a pathetic support service, I have been trying to contact them for 4 hours but it ends up by stuck in a queue. :(
