  @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?

  .@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

  I miss the simplicity of @Skype ‘Heres an easy to use calling package that suits what you want. Here’s a number in the area you want. Away you go’ Tried teams & it was terrible to use.. Not user friendly at all & the amount of hurdles you have to go through is insane

  @Skype sort your system topped up 7 hours ago to make an overseas call and credit not added to account when contacting support told will take 2 days surely that's illegal for not informing of any problems or maintenance before taking my payment

  They never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport

  @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!!

  @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!

  @Skype I can't access my account because the reset password code isn't being sent to my email. Idk why you make it so hard to speak to a rep. I can't prove my account because I don't have any contacts saved. I only used it for one purpose. Please help me access my account.

  It is mind-blowing that @Microsoft is standing behind @MicrosoftTeams as an enterprise product. - Calls never connect - Major message synching issues between mobile and desktop - Super buggy Screw your AI offerings, fix basic software first my peeps or give us back @Skype.

  @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?

  For 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?

  @ViberHelp @Skype It was. @Viber help seemed to blame everyone but themselves. Been with them for 10 years too.

  So after years of not using @skype (probably for 15 years), I get a charge notification for Skype Number, 12 month subscription, $29.94, Paypal, Delivered. My ability to get ahold of @skype or get help = 0. Anyone know what's up?
