    @Skype Hello, could I please get your help. Calls to my Skype number ring on my laptop but not on my phone. How can I solve this issue? Thank you :)

  • RuthLove0147 Ruth Love (@RuthLove0147) reported

    @jhfl @Skype It’s a real shame. Well I’m just a little reluctant to use any hackers, I hope @Duza_hack on iG can hopefully resolve this problem. I’ve had to create a Twitter account just so someone can hopefully respond! Guess I ain’t the only one suffering but he clearly solve my issue

  • moshTaBaquer iMoshTaba 🃏👑 (@moshTaBaquer) reported

    @Skype suspending Iranian accounts in this critical situation during the protests is not a good idea. We are seeking for support not sanction against people! We request to stop this to help protesters in Iran. #Mahsa_Amini #مهسا_امینی

  • arshiah93 ArshiA (@arshiah93) reported

    @Skype please provide free phone calls to Iran for Iranian people; as the whole internet is shut down and we cannot reach out to our families!

  • TallestTim TallTim 🇺🇦 (@TallestTim) reported

    Hi @Skype. I've got a non Microsoft account that still has credit on that I want to use, but can't find a way to sign in using that account on an android or via browser only. Please can you help... Somewhat of an emergency.

  • taichikeaton Taichi (@taichikeaton) reported

    Why is my camera not working?! **** you @Skype

  • KanyeStan15 Kanye Stan (@KanyeStan15) reported

    @skype @SkypeSupport you guys still haven’t responded to my tweet I guess you can’t help me.

  • AliAAdib92 Ali Adib (@AliAAdib92) reported

    Hey @Skype @SkypeSupport! The government has shut down the internet in Iran to stop the protestors connection with the world and kill them in silence. Can you make Skype Credit free for calls from Iran to the rest of the world so that they can remain in touch? #MahsaAmini

  • colbeta_ Lambert (@colbeta_) reported

    I'm often out of Canada and would like to have a Canadian phone number on which people can call me when I'm abroad. Roaming is theft. CRTC blocks @Skype numbers or @Google voice. @Fongo_Mobile is not reliable enough. My workplace doesn't offer MS Teams phone service.

  • MatthewEJohns10 Matthew E. Johnson (@MatthewEJohns10) reported

    @Skype I have had some problems with identity theft of a Hotmail email address.

  • AliAAdib92 Ali Adib (@AliAAdib92) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport Hey Skype! The government has shut down internet in Iran to kill the protestors and stop their connection to the world. Can you please make the Skype calls from Iran to all over the world free so that they can remain in touch with the world? #MahsaAmini

  • smartin007 Stephen Martin (@smartin007) reported

    First-world problems: 1. @FedEx driver claims that I wasn't home while waiting for a package (a cell phone) when I WAS because it's my friggin new cell phone!! 2. @VerizonSupport gives me a "transfer number code" that won't work. Lucky I have @Skype! It's saving the day!!

  • ShadowBabbo Moon Babbo (@ShadowBabbo) reported

    @Skype the Islamic republic has shut down the internet AGAIN. How about making the land calls free for a short period of time, so that government can't mute the civilians? #mahsaamini #مهسا_امینی #OpIran

  • quiethavenfarm Rachel Howell (@quiethavenfarm) reported

    @Skype help! Can’t find customer service contact anywhere. We are getting monthly credit card charge for skype that we never agreed to. Help! Doesn’t show up on our Skype account that we have any Skype billings

  • springdesign spring (@springdesign) reported from Roma Capitale, Lazio

    Our @Skype account was still attached to old address. After filling forms, solving AI research quiz, new email, name of ownership, 3 contacts (family members around the world, btw) @Microsoft team decided it was not enough proof, try again! Help?

  • HenryGr72865550 Henry B Graves (@HenryGr72865550) reported

    @Skype The biggest fraud perpetrated on America since the JFK assassination. DON'T USE SKYPE. Zero customer service skills. Zero accountability. Easily will take your money but they wont return your money.

  • JazminAseret Jazmín Garza (@JazminAseret) reported

    Today I solved an issue through @Skype (because neither my cellphone nor my landline were working)… Skype! #ftw

  • Gaurav19710 plogging Himachal (@Gaurav19710) reported

    @MacDonaldRK3 @Zoom I am having the same problem at a time in the work week when I can't afford to have this problem. Is it time to return to @Skype LOL!?!?

  • inguralipsane Ingura Lipšāne (@inguralipsane) reported

    @Skype problem on PC - I cannot get into another chat history, copy the necessary texts and paste in the current chat while speaking with a student. Now a blank window shows there. It is crucial for me to be able to monitor all chats while speaking with one person. Restart done.

    @SkypeSupport @Skype Dear Support, Hope you are doing well, My Skype Id is Locked. Please 🙏 resolve this Issue. It's my humble request.

  • ajaxStardust Blueberry Apple-Pie (@ajaxStardust) reported

    So what do you do if your #Telegram acct phone# is banned @smstelegram? Get a burner phone? That seems kind of ridiculous. What's your favorite replacement? I'm not down w/ @Skype

  • KanyeStan15 Kanye Stan (@KanyeStan15) reported

    @skype @SkypeSupport I can’t receive text for my forgotten skype account even though the last 4digit for the number is correct? Any help?

    I paid for credit for a @Skype call and it’s still saying I have no credit and asking me to buy more. I already see the transaction on my credit card account. Can you all help?

  • MetteChr7 Mette Christensen (@MetteChr7) reported

    @Skype Why is Skype allowing anonymous SMS Messages from a Live:.cid Id? It is impossible to track down and stop the messages. Don't Skype care about safety online?

  • DasJyotishko Jyotishko Das (@DasJyotishko) reported

    @Skype trying to connect calling while using your calling package saying the numbers are invalid. Do you even have a customer care number ?? This is terrible to say the least.
