  Carl McGovern (@mortgagecarl) reported 3 minutes ago

  Cancelled 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.

  @Skype is charging me $3.49 over and over again for a service I’m not able to use through @Apple subscriptions. Everytime I try to cancel they charge me again. Please fix this.

  @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?

  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 20 minutes ago

  It is close to impossible to write an online review for @Skype. Their customer service is a joke! They reply at 4 in the morning just trying to take you off the social media. My account was locked for no reason, I was sent to a loop to find help. Nobody is answering on chat

  @Skype I have the translator turned on and it's only working for the other person. The notifications appear in English but the actual conversation is showing the original language. How do I fix this?

  @MicrosoftTeams your service sucks . Plagued with issues unlike @Skype

  John Kelley (@freethelemmings) reported 24 minutes ago

  When your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox

  @Microsoft @Skype why the hell on earth still there are no m1 version of Skype on Mac? Since you’re using electron what the problem to port it to native arm build of electron ?!

  mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported 27 minutes ago

  @skype do you keep deleting my tweets? Why is the translator not working for me but it's working for the other person? All settings are correct. It's translating in the notifications but not in the chat itself

  @Skype Why the phone fonction is not working actually, neither on CPU or the app? And don't we are able to talk to someone at client service at Skype, except a f****g and stupid robot?

  .@Skype I’m paying for Skype phone number. I can’t receive phone calls. I’ve tried your bot support oh sorry “Virtual”. I’ve done that “support” list, tried “support” more bots!, but I’m paying for phone # that still isn’t receiving calls. Any humans I can get help from?

  So, it's been a long time, but when did @Skype become a combination of expensive to use, completely unintuitive, and broken?

  CLIVE SHERER (@CliveSherer) reported 42 minutes ago

  @skype why dont you have a proper customer help system?

  Steve Lucas (@theSteveLucas) reported 43 minutes ago from Caño Negro, Guanacaste

  Have any Christian ministries had trouble with @Skype or @SkypeSupport blocking access to their Skype or @Microsoft account repeatedly? We use a SkypeOut number for our ministry overseas and have been repeatedly blocked without explanation or apology.

  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 44 minutes ago

  .@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

  .@ThreeUK anyone else who can’t make and receive calls because of the Three outage, try using @Viber Audio, I did and it showed my number on the other end too, I usually would use @Skype before but we know that’s no more.

  Noel Symonds (@bluelionman) reported 48 minutes ago

  @Skype You make it impossible to speak to a human support member of staff. All I get is to post questions in the community. I need someone from Skype to help me!

  The BFDB (@T08845657) reported 57 minutes ago

  @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.

  Sandie Markle (@SandieMarkle) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Skype I need to cancel a subscription I’m being automatically charged for through my 365 account. This is extremely difficult. So is finding an email for customer support. Please help.
