  @MaxMoralesChile @MedhiGaurav @Skype in 2005 when I was in Iraq and Kuwait, Skype cut my monthly phone bill from $500 down to like $25. My thought was this is going to be a game changer

  @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?

  @Microsoft has this terrible habit of signing me out of my accounts and then requiring a code to log back in. The problem is that they never send the code!!! I’m ******* locked out of @Skype and I need it for work! 🤬

  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!!!

  @HimeMysti @Skype Skype's already shut down. Plus, you couldn't really build a community on there.

  @brintonyosaia @TheGrandZero @Skype teams has been around before that though. But yeah, I just noticed that they did shut these down back in 2025.

  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?

  I guess it's almost time go to back to @Skype since @discord has been nothing but giving me issues even after several updates. D:

  .@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?

  @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.

• 
  Haley Schuler-McCoin (@mccoin_haley) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Skype I paid for a Microsoft teams service so I could keep my Skype number, but then wasn't able to use it because I am not a business owner. I've been charged for 5 months and Microsoft has now refused my request for a refund. Is this really how Microsoft treats its users?

  @skype @SkypeSupport I have an ongoing message thread but whoever I was talking with stopped replying. Re: my translator not working. I need this to be fixed

  Robbie Ellis (@ellisrobbie) reported 49 minutes ago

  Once upon a time, @Skype would just keep your paid credit for years. It would just work. Now they say "We're going to turn it inactive after 180 days and make you jump through hoops to reactivate it and oh yeah our credit systems are down so we can't reactivate it right now." BOO

  Nobody is as upset about @Skype shutting down than @nyaraVT in the big 2025….

  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 50 minutes ago

  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
