Haley Schuler-McCoin (@mccoin_haley) reported@Skype I paid for a Microsoft teams service so I could keep my Skype number, but then wasn't able to use it because I am not a business owner. I've been charged for 5 months and Microsoft has now refused my request for a refund. Is this really how Microsoft treats its users?

You need access to the account or have to fill out forms that go nowhere. If anyone knows how to uncover cr*****@emlpro.com send it my way. I wanna sue.

Shah Zahid (@zahid_9217) reported@Skype "I am having trouble resetting my password for my Skype account as I have forgotten it. Can you please assist me in the process?" It would be your most kindness Regards
-
Ravi Karkara (@ravikarkara) reported@evroppa3 @BillyM2k @Skype Let me try login in
-
Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported@Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!
-
RSummers (@beachgirlreve) reported@Skype @SkypeSupport i can't seem to get an answer from skype regarding my problem?
-
Mar 🐙 (@masc_simp) reportedFor 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.
