    @Skype @Microsoft Worst customer Service ever. I submitted for my account to be deleted. It wasn’t. Now I’ve been hacked and can’t get into my account to “re-delete” because the “Recovery” system thinks I’m not the owner of the account. So, so stupid.

  • andrejonker Andre 🐦 (@andrejonker) reported

    I have been fighting with @Microsoft support for so long about a @Skype number that still doesn’t work. With every interaction, they claim human error, but I have other numbers that work fine. They basically just took my money and gave me a fake number. I am now giving up.

    @Skype your virtual assistant didnt help me please DM me, you deactivated my account for no reason

  • JustCocoDupree cocodupree (@JustCocoDupree) reported

    @Skype Hello, I bought a Skype number through the Skype app. But I can’t tell where to record a voicemail greeting. Can you help? Thank you!

  • froddd Fred (@froddd) reported

    Every time I want to @skype my mum I have to first log into her computer with @TeamViewer to reinstall Skype because it doesn’t start. Today I had to call her first to help her reinstall TeamViewer. Those companies are not making technology helpful.

    @Skype hello, trying to call a landline and call keeps failing. It may be due tk weak network, though I can call skype to skype, so just want to check there are no issues at your end. I had an odd message about auto- recharge the other day and had to manually top up.

  • SuzHepinstall7 Suz Hepinstall (@SuzHepinstall7) reported

    @katycgrubb @Skype I was recommended to @Quick_restore. He was able to recover my locked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • aquigley Aaron Quigley (@aquigley) reported

    O dear... @zoom is starting to become bad like @Skype did for me.... Teams is now rock solid from 0-60 people. I must dig into my settings to see if my home setup has issues for zoom or if they are just getting flaky for all :( sad...

  • anthonydavenpod Anthony Luka Davenport (@anthonydavenpod) reported

    @Skype is terrible, bring back Windows Live Messenger

  • alexjoe828 Alex (@alexjoe828) reported

    @Ysyaole @Skype Why do they always behave like this, they always take customers for granted and do what they feel like, you'll just find out your account has been blocked. I know someone who can help you fix your account he has worked on mine once @phantom__pro on IG, he worked on mine.

  • Kate_TheGreat04 KateTheGreat04 (@Kate_TheGreat04) reported

    TWO INCHES OF CLEAVAGE!!!! @Microsoft @Skype @SkypeSupport - on a woman with NO BREASTS this wouldn’t be an issue! A shirtless man wouldn’t be an issue! THIS IS ******* BULLSHIT. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION. GIVE ME MY ACCOUNT BACK.

  • ttly_reasonable totallyreasonable (@ttly_reasonable) reported

    @Skype Either help me with my captcha, or we’re moving our entire department to @SlackHQ.

  • AmaanX5A Sheikh Amaan Asghar (@AmaanX5A) reported

    @Skype It’s the second I’m tweeting @SkypeSupport for a serious issue I’m facing but no one is responding.

  • keshore10 keshore (@keshore10) reported

    Dear @skype when I logout the skype id and given no for remembering the account name and password but it working on the desktop version when I login again please help me to solve the error please

  • margaritafinkel Margarita (@margaritafinkel) reported

    @Skype I cannot access my Skype for 2 months. My tel & email attached to skype & i should gain skype back though them but no emails/sms get send to them so i can re-access. Clearly there is technical issue. Ive been trying to get hep but no-one replies. Its time you address it

  • lilygrozeva Lily Grozeva (@lilygrozeva) reported

    @Skype 's login process is like the service telling you - please, don't use us.

  • yourtoyrobot Tipsy Bob Ross (@yourtoyrobot) reported

    @Skype You guys are completely misunderstanding the issue. There is no troubleshooting because it a purposeful design choice made by Skype. Not a bug, glitch, or program error

  • sayheyraye a very evenhanded maiden (@sayheyraye) reported

    I am so frustrated with @Skype. An old account I have not regularly used was hacked recently. Despite weeks of trying @skype will not delete my data/account so that the hackers stop making charges. I have made requests under the CCPA but Skype won’t fix the problem.

  • Vitaliy50024765 Vitaliy (@Vitaliy50024765) reported

    @Skype Hi there, can someone please get back to me re this issue, I've sent back a reply almost a week ago and still no reply!

  • yourtoyrobot Tipsy Bob Ross (@yourtoyrobot) reported

    @Skype Open Skype on PC. Within it, open an image. You'll see Close Image X immediately under the Close Skype X. It's not a glitch or bug, it's an intentional UI placement and it's horrible.

  • prairiefiremktg Wes Owen (@prairiefiremktg) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype why am I getting charged for something that was cancelled? Why is in next to impossible to get service?

  • PuppaDukes Puppa Dukes (@PuppaDukes) reported

    @Skype your service is quite literally dog sh*t

    @Skype What has happened to the service? Connection is near impossible these days.😫😫

  • LetMeEdit Lorraine O'Donovan (@LetMeEdit) reported

    @Skype you have taken my credit again and I need help reactivating it, please help.

  • C0lyer Colyer Dale (@C0lyer) reported

    Just me, or does FaceTime need serious work? No matter where I am or how good my service is it always lags or cuts out. What’s the deal @Apple? Is it time to go back to @Skype? It’s 2022 this shouldn’t be happening every time.
