  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 2 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 @SkypeSupport Your service sucks. I enter Skype after some months, purchase $10 of credit. Then it asks me to confirm my identity and change my password TWICE, which I do. I try to call someone and my account gets locked. Important call btw. After 2 hours with support 1/3

  @Skype it’s second time this week I can’t call from Skype to a cell phone. I do have credits on balance and help page is absolutely useless. Last time the problem went away itself, but it’s annoying

  .@Skype I’m paying for Skype phone number. I can’t receive phone calls. I’ve tried your bot support oh sorry “Virtual”. I’ve done that “support” list, tried “support” more bots!, but I’m paying for phone # that still isn’t receiving calls. Any humans I can get help from?

  @Skype General Question to the TwitterVerse: Is Skype support as incompetent and as utterly unreachable as it seems to be or is there a secret to getting a human to deal with what Skype has made into an absurdly complex problem?

  @Skype Skype comprises a combo of morons, idiots, & imbeciles. There's no way to contact anyone to correct an absurdly grotesque problem created by the above mentioned morons, idiots, & imbeciles. God save us from Know-It-All Techies! PERSIST! RESIST! RAGE! RETWEET!

  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

  @Skype You need to fix your ios app! The give feedback button wont even work. I am deleting Skype for now. Spam has gone rampant on there the last few days and there is no report as spam button just leave group.

  @Skype Why the phone fonction is not working actually, neither on CPU or the app? And don't we are able to talk to someone at client service at Skype, except a f****g and stupid robot?

  .@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.

  @Skype your support the #IranRevolution by offering free calls at a time the internet has been shut down in the country was greatly appreciated. Alas it was too short lived, while the revolution and crackdown continue. Any chance you'd like to renew your support?
