    Working through a series of questions, & I’m basically unemployed this week. If anyone is down for a discussion on any of the following, I’m down for Skype calls on any of these from 8am-9pm Hanoi time this week (which is 8pm-9am New York time, so… some morning-evening overlap)

    @Skype I need a refund for my subscription last month that I didn't use due to technical issues #Skype

  • goddesschloex ♡︎ Chloe ♡︎ $5 OnlyFans ♡︎ (@goddesschloex) reported

    Hi, I’ve never had to do this before but this lockdown has really ****** everything up for me and I literally can’t afford to pay my rent this month. I can do a free year subscription to my OnlyFans or a Skype session - or whatever you want, if you can send something to help 💞

  • dylan_rand Jeffrey Dexter Owen (@dylan_rand) reported

    @TeamPelosi @realTuckFrumper We can end gun violence in schools, simply by just closing them all down and continue to remote teach via Zoom, Internet, Skype etc.... The Pandemic has taught us we don't need schools. think of all the money us tax payers will save. Especially us singles with no brats, kids!

  • fredyin Fred Yin (@fredyin) reported

    @fsmontenegro @danielkennedy74 @j_opdenakker You guys should Lync up to help catch this Skype-fore he gets away.

  • hkashfi Hamid K (@hkashfi) reported

    @caseyjohnellis Skype has similar service, but I skipped it mostly due to spotty SMS deliveries on virtual numbers. If you want to avoid 3rd party VoIP, then a combo of E-SIM+SIM is the best.

  • MickCla77884027 Mick Clark (@MickCla77884027) reported

    Why is it that celebrities think it's OK to break the law and drive down to Cornwall when it's breaking covid rules .Does not Skype ,or phone work in Cornwall .I hope this mild celebrity is fined heavily for her ingnorance during this very worrying time .

  • DezElissa J'elissa DeZ (@DezElissa) reported

    @DaveRamsey do you think the woman who used her $600 to buy a smart phone,so she could Skype with her husband who is in a nursing home, has mental problems? YOU ARE APPALLING ,DISGUSTING, PIECE OF ****!!

  • data_juggler Data Juggler (@data_juggler) reported

    Last night a friend was coming to help me move a couple of things to my new place. Unplug computer, forgetting he has to call my Skype when he gets here. Plug it in, Windows Update decides now is a good time to update. Windows, lucky you didn't hear the things I called you.

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist loli! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘me’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

  • TukoeTekii Elisabeth C E N (@TukoeTekii) reported

    I think you should stop taking down the guard off co vid and keep the guard on covid up permanently from now on and no more functions, rugby, etc from now on and only have events only if it's necessary. Permanently! Use Skype. #NewZealand

  • pcilla1234 Priscilla G (@pcilla1234) reported

    I have had days at work where in the space of hours I have been on a Zoom call, a Teams call, a Google call and a Skype call. So I understand Mr. van der Veen’s frustration. We must unite around one technology. This is the problem of the day. Do we have the courage to face it?

  • bekahblue727 Rebekah Gardner (@bekahblue727) reported

    speaking of valentines day, would anyone be down for a skype/zoom/what-have-you for anyone needing some company tonight? let me know!!

  • mimismumma Proud Mumma (@mimismumma) reported

    @bjpren I’m not cabled - connecting to the router via WiFi which probably doesn’t help. I hate teams but the company has just moved us all over to it from Skype (which I preferred)

  • zilyy_ Ben (@zilyy_) reported

    @hellviewing I would drag my ***** through 10 miles of broken glass if it meant we could eat a nice seafood dinner over Skype on dial up

  • bapfrancis Franco (@bapfrancis) reported

    I didn’t even mention that my Skype or Teams calls drop 50% of the time. And I have lodged complaints for these as well. By the time audio calls are dropping you truly have a serious problem. I challenge you to demonstrate our network is the problem

  • worldmeetjohn John from 🇨🇦 (@worldmeetjohn) reported

    @Skype Honestly, Skype is crap. Whenever I try to use it, I have to waste time waiting for it to respond and I often have to restart my computer just to get it working again. I don't have these issues with zoom or WhatsApp, but it happens consistently with Skype.

  • Hedreich Hedreich Nichols (@Hedreich) reported

    @JuliaFliss You need anything I can help with? Emergency lesson plans? Mystery Skype where I am run point? Something else?

  • WhoWhatWhyCast Mike (Who What Why Cast) (@WhoWhatWhyCast) reported

    @naylorjames Let me know if you need anymore help. We can chat via Skype if it needs to be longer than 280 characters.

  • BenDavisPurcell Ben Davis-Purcell (@BenDavisPurcell) reported

    @kratsg @Skype @SkypeSupport I’ve been having the same issue for months now too...

  • AussieSteph22 Stephanie Bell (@AussieSteph22) reported

    @fortitudesouth @glenpen60 @jamnic77 There were many who couldn’t see family. I didn’t see 2 of my grandchildren for nearly a year , but I was happy to skype so that we were all safe. You can’t help a person if all they see is their own sacrifice , and not the big picture.

  • Notorious_FIFA xNoToRi0uSx (@Notorious_FIFA) reported

    Random tip - don't add anyone that you DON'T KNOW onto your Skype. You can get DOXXED. If someone has the intention to ruin your life, they will do so.... you can tracked down (ie. if someone gets your IP or personal information through other ways).

  • spam3rella Canadian CuckCake (@spam3rella) reported

    I have two slots left for skype dates tomorrow night.. if youre feeling down about being single and wanna play, dm me! $20/20mins 9:30\10pm available

  • mistersql Matthew Martin (@mistersql) reported

    @robjamison Yeah, Skype (esp the international calling stuff) is like buying a regulated utility, not really MS's strength area. Also doesn't help that MS buys products where they already have existing worse products-Teams, but with much better connected VPs who've an incentive to sabotage.
