  Carl McGovern (@mortgagecarl) reported 4 minutes ago

  Cancelled my @ViberHelp account now, as I couldn’t let this error carry on. Fortunately @Skype have a free trial for a month, so giving them a go. Hard to accept that Viber do this to me after being a loyal customer for 10 years.

  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 16 minutes ago

  .@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 your support the #IranRevolution by offering free calls at a time the internet has been shut down in the country was greatly appreciated. Alas it was too short lived, while the revolution and crackdown continue. Any chance you'd like to renew your support?

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

  .@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???

  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 25 minutes ago

  They never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport

  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

  @HimeMysti @Skype Sadly Skype already shut down on may of 2025… there’s Slack and TeamSpeak but I have no idea how teamspeak works

  @Skype The US Skype Number dont work. Doesn’t receive SMS. Can’t be assigned as Caller ID. Skype technical suponer doesn’t solve the problem for more than 10 days. Terrible

  @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

  Why is it so hard to get @Skype help ?

  ankit_sharma (@anki_s6) reported 35 minutes ago

  @Skype @GooglePlay and @Paytm I have been facing an issue with Skype subscription,when I contacted Skype they told me it's Google's fault and when I contacted Google support they told me to contact paytm. I subscribed for Skype credits through Google,paid money through Paytm.

  @iAmHayze_ @not_mynes @Skype I used to use it on Xbox back in the day, was much better and havd less issues than party chat lmao

  It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported 41 minutes ago

  @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).

  Steve Lucas (@theSteveLucas) reported 42 minutes ago from Caño Negro, Guanacaste

  Have any Christian ministries had trouble with @Skype or @SkypeSupport blocking access to their Skype or @Microsoft account repeatedly? We use a SkypeOut number for our ministry overseas and have been repeatedly blocked without explanation or apology.

  .@ThreeUK anyone else who can’t make and receive calls because of the Three outage, try using @Viber Audio, I did and it showed my number on the other end too, I usually would use @Skype before but we know that’s no more.

  Carl McGovern (@mortgagecarl) reported 44 minutes ago

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

  @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:

  @brintonyosaia @TheGrandZero @Skype teams has been around before that though. But yeah, I just noticed that they did shut these down back in 2025.

  mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported 49 minutes ago

  @SkypeSupport @Skype I was asked to send a direct message a couple of days ago. And I have been chatting with someone. And they stopped replying before my issue was resolved. I'm having issues with the translator. Why do you keep deleting my tweets?

  @Skype @SkypeSupport Hey Skype, Why is no one helping with the issue? Kindly revert how do I circumvent merging contacts and proceed to using the app? Thx

  misa (@misa0301) reported 58 minutes ago

  @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 Pls free skype subscription for Iran landlines! The internet is down there!

  mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported 60 minutes ago

  @Skype I have the translator turned on and it's only working for the other person. The notifications appear in English but the actual conversation is showing the original language. How do I fix this?
