  @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?

  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 AGAIN I AM GETTING NO WHERE! Failed lies from your customer service reps and hanging up in chat after I spend ages explain and typing! I am sick of it!

  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

  Can someone at @Skype tell me how I can get an account issue resolved when chat freezes at position 1 and no other contact method is apparently available to me

  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 28 minutes ago

  @Skype @Deepakbayofads My account is locked too for no reason. The chat kept me waiting forever and I never got to “chat”.You have a terrible new team at Skype. I use my account to call my elderly mother. She doesn’t have internet access and you cut off my only communication route. Brutal brutal brutal

  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 32 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

  @SkypeSupport @Skype Using your service since the last decade and now it getting crazier by the day. Just made a purchase to call and the amount has been debit from my credit card but the minutes are not credited to my account yet. Extremely dissatisfied.

  @Skype can you help me?

  Mar 🐙 (@masc_simp) reported 38 minutes ago

  For over a month now when I Skype with my gf she can see herself in the camera window but not me, same for me. Any other app we use has no camera issue. But we love Skype. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?

  After this message, they did not reply to my messages any more. Many of my friends and colleagues have had the same issue with @Skype

  Alex Taran (@taran_alex) reported 43 minutes ago

  @Skype it’s second time this week I can’t call from Skype to a cell phone. I do have credits on balance and help page is absolutely useless. Last time the problem went away itself, but it’s annoying

  @PAHolder @bing @Skype Hey Peter. The bug should’ve been fixed on Friday. If you don’t mind, please PM me, let’s fix this for you

  @Skype We cannot contact our families in Iran as the internet is shot down by IRI. Will u support #IranProtests2020 by making calls to lines and cells in Iran free of charge? #مهسا_امینی

  tick tock says the dumb on the clock (@KINGKAZA13) reported 47 minutes ago

  @Skype can you please make skype opens source as it would help make it more popular and useful then Microsoft adding random features thinking it will beat zoom Especially when Microsoft meet is it's "replacement"

  @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 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

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

  Ó Gaff Mór (@Cocavan11) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Skype General Question to the TwitterVerse: Is Skype support as incompetent and as utterly unreachable as it seems to be or is there a secret to getting a human to deal with what Skype has made into an absurdly complex problem?

  Steve Green (@ukitspecialist) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Skype can you tell me when you will fix the problem of video calling from UK to Philippines. This has been down for over 3 weeks, reported to you and no response
