    @SamuelMarcLowe @SallyJJonesEY (Skype for business) That is something which is being phased out the moment and Microsoft Teams will take over. Its a hassle with all those different platforms. They should just be frontends to the same basic service. That would help.

    I waited in line for over 30 min hour which costed me around 35$ and then I got disconnected. Since I am out of money right now (due to the fact that my account is frozen) loosing 35$ was terrible but I decided to give it another try using Skype. @RBC

  • sandwichman888 Christopher Wild (@sandwichman888) reported

    @Jocar6562 Don’t suppose it’ll be long before prices and additional charges are introduced. Don’t use those service providers. Download Mobile Skype. I have done when I’m abroad and not in EU and saved an absolute fortune! Alternatively invest in cheap local SIM CARD.

  • mwarhurst Michael Warhurst (@mwarhurst) reported

    @SamuelMarcLowe @DavidHenigUK I had to use Skype for business yesterday- it was terrible

  • SoSaysLucia Lucia Walinchus (@SoSaysLucia) reported

    @jm_corba @ksteckel @SquawkCNBC I mean in fairness when the world fell a part zoom stepped up. All Skype had to do was not be terrible and they couldn't swing it.

  • Bernieadufe Bernie (@Bernieadufe) reported from Donegal, Ulster

    Phone or over Skype. He showed me kindness & love without rushing me. Patiently healing what others had broken. Taking a massive chance leaving his direct provision center so we could live together. Loosing his medical card & allowance along with access to further courses.

  • KarneraMythos Karnera Mythos (@KarneraMythos) reported

    @JordanLink101 @FalKoopa_ Skype spiraled down uncontrollably the moment they forced ads on it and made it so that conversations can't have their own windows.

  • JenniHalton Jenni Elbourne (@JenniHalton) reported

    Don't worry @skype (i mean, you're clearly not worried AT ALL), I've worked it out in the end. No thanks to your abysmal (= non-existent) customer service.

  • PostModActivist Kerry Perandis (@PostModActivist) reported

    @adventure_ali_ @adventure_ali_ I'm just so over all of it - had to organise emergency visa and banks couldn't get that right. card not working-no funds to top up skype-I don't even know what to do anymore...

  • robbeorn Robbie Meredith (@robbeorn) reported

    Zoom, teams, Skype, gotomeeting... As soon as I work out how to actually connect to one meeting platform someone decides to use another one. #help

  • KathrynSeabrook Kathryn Seabrook (@KathrynSeabrook) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband problem. Not connected, then when I did connect it’s slow and keeps dropping out and zoom/Skype very juddery if I can even connect to them at all. I just wanted to talk to someone about it, I couldn’t wait any longer on the phone.

  • Laurie_1986 Sam Laurie (@Laurie_1986) reported

    @piersmorgan @susannareid100 thank you for launching 1 million mins, I have a gran in a care home who cried when we tried to speak to her over skype, she doesn’t understand, suffers from dementia and is deteriorating rapidly. It’s so sad. I have pledged my time to help others!

    @jinxs67 My Skype meetings don't provide a dial in option and the help desk don't understand the problem so keep giving wrong advice. I'm going to call them every couple of months

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.
