  • mimingkaa Mimi  (@mimingkaa) reported

    Does @Skype have privacy issues now? Why does a blocked user still able to call me?! I checked my settings and nothing's changed. It keeps calling me and it's so annoying. 🙄😤

  • Beprincipledok questionyourthinking (@Beprincipledok) reported

    @Skype My skype is constantly saying 'call failed' - i can't make any calls and your help system is so poor. Can i speak to someone please?

  • purple_dragon25 kelly (she/her) (n/d) (@purple_dragon25) reported

    @Skype please sort it. I'm fed up of asking you for help, and something changes but then all the issues start up again. I've reported it more times than I can be bothered to count and it still ends up the same. Fed up on it.

  • LiondelWolf Liondel Beardsley (@LiondelWolf) reported

    @Skype I think it's time you guys do something about the scam calls using your system to call people. Or maybe just close Skype might help to stop them. Many other video call systems that are better and don't track what you are doing.

  • NickDaCosta Nick DaCosta (@NickDaCosta) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype you need to fix this “blocked caller” issue asap. It’s a massive problem. I’m getting calls every 3 minutes. Not only do I have the feature only allowing my contacts to call, but I cannot even pick up said calls. Get this spam off your product.

  • tinaleigh4life Tina4Life (@tinaleigh4life) reported

    @Skype I've been having problems all morning with my outgoing calls failing. I can receive calls, but can't make any. Any info?

  • sujal_adhia Sujal Adhia (@sujal_adhia) reported

    @alejndrmz @BillGates @Skype It’s more than 15 days and still I’m having same issue. No version update for iOS app. Still getting blocked calls for every single message from max desktop app. Are you solving it ?

  • evelynjlamb Evelyn Lamb (@evelynjlamb) reported

    So...I don't have @Skype anymore because at some point @Microsoft made me make a login to use Skype, and there's nothing anyone can do about it?? 4/

  • Normand_Perry 𝕹𝖔𝖗𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕻𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖞 (@Normand_Perry) reported

    @Skype The sound quality on the Skype phone has been terrible for two days. Plus you have no live human being to help your customers. I hate you!

    @bondito0071 @TikTokSupport I will advise you to contact @Skype for help he helped me get my banned Tiktok account reactivated

  • EstefaniaLomel8 Estefania Lomeli (@EstefaniaLomel8) reported

    @Skype @mgoetzke I am having two problems with my Skype account: 1) In my web version I can't see the reactions (emojis or GIFS) 2) I deleted my App from my iphone and when I reinstalled it, the messages appear as calls (Blocked) and I tried everything and it does not return to normal.

  • evelynjlamb Evelyn Lamb (@evelynjlamb) reported

    Has anyone had experience with/success resolving the problem I'm having with @Skype? Earlier today, I was on a call and Skype crashed. When I tried to reopen, I got a message that my account was locked and to fill out a form to restore it. 1/

  • _Mark_Matthews_ Mark Matthews (@_Mark_Matthews_) reported

    Why do we allow companies like @Microsoft to buy companies like @Skype when their only intention is to destroy the product and shut it down to offer their own competing product @MicrosoftTeams. It shouldn’t be allowed!

  • wilmergome Wilmer Gómez (@wilmergome) reported

    @Kacopon2 @Skype I guessed it what’s a momentary problem! But it’s not working yet

  • 0Teacherbot2 TeacherBot2.0 🇺🇦 (@0Teacherbot2) reported

    @SkypeSupport @skype I really need assistance. Your 'support tips' on the website do not address my issue. Please contact me.

  • antore_stima Antorestima (@antore_stima) reported

    @Skype earlier it was possible to make free calls to Ukraine. Yesterday we discovered that this feature is no longer available.With so many older people in Ukraine who don't have access to the internet, your help with free calls has been the only way to stay connected.

  • Kacopon2 Keiko sudo (@Kacopon2) reported

    @Skype my Skype account stop working since today. I could make a call@yesterday but today. I need help!!

  • LolitaBanana4 ****** Banana (@LolitaBanana4) reported

  • 1virtualgenie Bring Back Civility (@1virtualgenie) reported

    @Skype you keep charging me for an account I have maybe used once and I can’t seem to cancel. Why do you make it so difficult? I am tired of throwing $7 a month down the drain for a service I don’t use. Is there any help for this? Please! Set me free!

    cancelling my @Skype subscription. been months of calling quality not clear and connection issues. please fix your service.

  • 0Teacherbot2 TeacherBot2.0 🇺🇦 (@0Teacherbot2) reported

    What's the point of @SkypeSupport if you don't actually support the people who are begging for support? I think I'll dispute the credit card charge on the basis that you haven't provided the service (calling). Then @Skype will have to PROVE to VISA that they did. Good luck.
