Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported.@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
-
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. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?
-
信道 （しんどう）⁷ (@wangubaagu) reported@Skype So how many hours do I have to wait for you to send me my login code? Thank God it's not an important conference. Skype is not to be trusted, obviously.
-
Brad Case (@thebradcase) reported@Skype AGAIN I AM GETTING NO WHERE! Failed lies from your customer service reps and hanging up in chat after I spend ages explain and typing! I am sick of it!
-
Alex Taran (@taran_alex) reported@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
-
Rahman Rezaei (@RahmanRezaei15) reportedAfter this message, they did not reply to my messages any more. Many of my friends and colleagues have had the same issue with @Skype
-
Brad Case (@thebradcase) reported@Skype why is it near impossible to get any real help from you??
-
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!

Douglas Macdillen (@DouglasMac77) reported@mgoetzke @Skype 1001-this is the Skype customer support , so far over 1 and 30 minutes , waiting to check, why my number is not working, you complain to (LOIS ALYSSON) The so call customer services, this is for a paid service, when you complain about the service , they refuse to answer

-
Carl McGovern (@mortgagecarl) reportedCancelled 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.
-
Akash Das (@UiAkash) reported@Skype @SkypeBusiness Full of error. Bad UX I've ever seen.
-

-
Rahman Rezaei (@RahmanRezaei15) reported@Skype #robbery #theft report: I had a 60 min sub. After talking only 20 mins on the phone my credit ran out! I sent DM to @SkypeSupport and reported the issue, and they directed me to an imaginary non-existing team. If you like your money, avoid using #Skype. their reply:
-
GundaManBatan (@GundaManBatan) reported@Skype hi yes can i please get help on deleting my skype account for some reason i cant delete it please help
-
Anne Kostalas (@viewfromalake) reported from Montréal, Quebec@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?
-
misa (@misa0301) reported@Skype I can't make call. I have 27 minutes left, but you are asking more money. I think you have problem from the beginning of this month and still not yet solved. There is no support. What's going on?
-
Brad Case (@thebradcase) reported@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?
-
Marc Lee (@marc_lee123) reported@Skype your services have been down for almost a week? I can call my friends and family on their land line or mobile using my credit. I have now missed my mum's birthday and my parent's anniversary This is unacceptable!!

-
Bizcochada (@bizcochada) reported@Skype what is you US support number? I need to TALK to someone about an issue I’m having
-
CLIVE SHERER (@CliveSherer) reported@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.
-
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).
-
The BFDB (@T08845657) reported@equity_avenger My mom had the same exact person call us 17 times today from different numbers. They use @Skype and some illegal program to hijack other people's phone numbers. The FBI or whoever need to crack down on Skype.
-
B. Dean Berry (@KeystonePRIME) reported from Northvue, PennsylvaniaSo, it's been a long time, but when did @Skype become a combination of expensive to use, completely unintuitive, and broken?
-
sharon vivian (@sharonvivian_) reported@pinklfoyd @Skype I once had similar issues but **@SKYSHACK__TOOLS**on instagram fixed my account...he's really good I recommend you try him
