  • robinsinghvi Robin Singhvi (@robinsinghvi) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    Took about 5 weeks for #IRS to issue an EIN. They didn’t even let me know. I had to call them (free using @Skype’s subscription for $2.99/mo. Free 1 month trial!) They gave me my EIN after being on call for over 40 min. But wouldn’t fax it to my RA (free w/atlas for 1 yr)

    @Skype Me and my other half always have issues with our msgs being delayed or not sent at all. Is it possible it's because I am using the Skype Preview while he's just using the normal Skype? if so I will stop using the preview if not, it may need fixing.
