    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. :(

    @Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.

  • JeanThoensen Jean Thoensen 🗳️🎓🍫 (@JeanThoensen) reported

    Hey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.

    @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).

  • alinaaa_p 상아 (@alinaaa_p) reported

    @Skype I can't access my account because the reset password code isn't being sent to my email. Idk why you make it so hard to speak to a rep. I can't prove my account because I don't have any contacts saved. I only used it for one purpose. Please help me access my account.

  • 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

  • RebeccaJCuth Rebecca Cuthbert is on submission (@RebeccaJCuth) reported

    @Skype how do I get a hold of someone to help me? The robots keep sending me back to the sign in page. #customerservice

  • AndyTucker80 Andrew Tucker (@AndyTucker80) reported
