    No idea why, but all my contacts on @Skype disappeared. How on earth?? I need a snowplow service, but I never memorized that couple's number. What a bother. Once a year number, you know. Skype is sometimes more trouble than it's worth.

    @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 Skype comprises a combo of morons, idiots, & imbeciles. There's no way to contact anyone to correct an absurdly grotesque problem created by the above mentioned morons, idiots, & imbeciles. God save us from Know-It-All Techies! PERSIST! RESIST! RAGE! RETWEET!

    @Skype sort your system topped up 7 hours ago to make an overseas call and credit not added to account when contacting support told will take 2 days surely that's illegal for not informing of any problems or maintenance before taking my payment

    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 Is anyone else having trouble with these thieves? Confuse you over subscriptions vs. auto renew then keep taking money even though auto-renew is not enabled.

    @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.

    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 @SkypeSupport Your service sucks. I enter Skype after some months, purchase $10 of credit. Then it asks me to confirm my identity and change my password TWICE, which I do. I try to call someone and my account gets locked. Important call btw. After 2 hours with support 1/3

    @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 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?

  • ellisrobbie
    Robbie Ellis (@ellisrobbie) reported

    Once upon a time, @Skype would just keep your paid credit for years. It would just work. Now they say "We're going to turn it inactive after 180 days and make you jump through hoops to reactivate it and oh yeah our credit systems are down so we can't reactivate it right now." BOO
