  @Skype your services have been down for almost a week? I can call my friends and family on their land line or mobile using my credit. I have now missed my mum's birthday and my parent's anniversary This is unacceptable!!

  Skype web calling isn't working, and I still have active credits. This feels like a scam. I keep getting a "please register your Skype ID" error. Please fix your ****. @Skype @MicrosoftTeams

  So, it's been a long time, but when did @Skype become a combination of expensive to use, completely unintuitive, and broken?

  Hey, @ATT, I'm currently abroad and trying to get a hold of you to help unlock my device. Been trying to call through @Skype

  @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!

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

  @Skype Why the phone fonction is not working actually, neither on CPU or the app? And don't we are able to talk to someone at client service at Skype, except a f****g and stupid robot?

  @Microsoft @Skype why the hell on earth still there are no m1 version of Skype on Mac? Since you’re using electron what the problem to port it to native arm build of electron ?!

  @Skype "I am having trouble resetting my password for my Skype account as I have forgotten it. Can you please assist me in the process?" It would be your most kindness Regards

  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 #skype Your product has become too unreliable to use for business. I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN WITH TASK MANAGER. That is a problem when a program is unresponsive. And yours is unresponsive a lot. Made me late to a meeting today. #byeskype

  @Skype #robbery #theft report: I had a 60 min sub. After talking only 20 mins on the phone my credit ran out! I sent DM to @SkypeSupport and reported the issue, and they directed me to an imaginary non-existing team. If you like your money, avoid using #Skype. their reply:

  @Skype What the hell is going on with your sign up? I’ve had to do verification after verification for 30 mins now and I’ve passed every. single. test. Gotta fix it.

  @skype do you keep deleting my tweets? Why is the translator not working for me but it's working for the other person? All settings are correct. It's translating in the notifications but not in the chat itself

  @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.

  @Skype I don’t have Skype on my iPhone yet when I accept Skype on my MacBook, it keeps trying to connect to the camera on my iPhone. Why and how do I fix this? It’s annoying.

  @Skype After updating my password on Saturday, I'm locked out of my account. I get a message saying 'We've detected activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement'. I sent a message explaining this to the provided address but to no avail. Anyone else had this problem?

  The Foremoststore (@foremoststore) reported 51 minutes ago

  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. :(

  @HimeMysti @Skype Skype's already shut down. Plus, you couldn't really build a community on there.
