    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

    @Skype I have a problem with my account, but getting in touch with Skype is a challenge! I need my account for my work on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Could you please help out @SkypeSupport? #beatNTDs

    @iAmHayze_ @not_mynes @Skype I used to use it on Xbox back in the day, was much better and havd less issues than party chat lmao

  • sweetylem

    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

  • viewfromalake

    @Skype both me and husband woke up to Skype sign out, passwords not accepted and now blocked. WTF? Only way to contact my 96 year old mum in England. Help?

  • gmpoet_
    It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported

    @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).

  • Khalil37183958
    Khalil (@Khalil37183958) reported

    @Skype sort your system topped up 7 hours ago to make an overseas call and credit not added to account when contacting support told will take 2 days surely that's illegal for not informing of any problems or maintenance before taking my payment

    @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?

    @Skype your so-called teams is not working everyday i missed my important calls, you guys simply ruined your product, and you guys realise after so-many years..

  • JazzShaw

    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.
