  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 24 seconds 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

  @Skype I purchased a Skype number but have been getting calls from the old adverts of the previous number owner. It's been a constant pain and I'm unable to use this number for my business! I can't seem to get anyone for months via help!?! What can I do?

  @Skype I'm using the translator but it's only working for the other person. My settings are for English and it's appearing correctly in the notifications. But not in the chat itself. How do I fix this?

  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

  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.

  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

  @JazzShaw @Skype @Microsoft Got one of those local TV channel consumer help shows?

  Brad Case (@thebradcase) reported 24 minutes ago

  @Skype why is it near impossible to get any real help from you??

  .@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.

  Why is it so hard to get @Skype help ?

• 
  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 29 minutes ago

  It is close to impossible to write an online review for @Skype. Their customer service is a joke! They reply at 4 in the morning just trying to take you off the social media. My account was locked for no reason, I was sent to a loop to find help. Nobody is answering on chat

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

  @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.

  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 44 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 After updating my password on Saturday, I'm locked out of my account. I get a message saying 'We've detected activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement'. I sent a message explaining this to the provided address but to no avail. Anyone else had this problem?

  @Skype hi I'm trying to use your service for the first time. I need to make a call from Asia to UK. When I add UK monthly subscription I do not get asked for payment it just displays the options again. I've tried 20 times I can't buy. Please help need to make urgent call. Thanks

  No solutions whatsoever, $20 less in my account, cannot make the important phone call, 3+ hours with support with no resolutions. I am very angry. I want a refund and I am looking into alternative apps. FIX your program. @SkypeSupport @Skype #ScamAlert #badservice 3/3
