  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

  @Skype why is it near impossible to get any real help from you??

  Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!

  Hi @Skype @SkypeSupport it seems my account is locked and you asked me for my phone number to get a security code, but when I enter my number you say it's not valid - I can't get back in and I can't get the reset code - please help

  @Skype So how many hours do I have to wait for you to send me my login code? Thank God it's not an important conference. Skype is not to be trusted, obviously.

  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'm using the translator but it's only working for the other person. My settings are for English and it's appearing correctly in the notifications. But not in the chat itself. How do I fix this?

  I use @Skype subscriptions for talking to my family in Iran. Yesterday, Skype suspended my account because of using their service and told me I should create a new account, rest of my current package is gone and they even won't refund the package. Amazing service and support!!!

  @Skype it’s second time this week I can’t call from Skype to a cell phone. I do have credits on balance and help page is absolutely useless. Last time the problem went away itself, but it’s annoying

  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?

  @Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.
