    @catherine_mayer @O2 Do you use Skype? Can that be used for that kind of customer service calls?

  • conga_gone Blue Steve (@conga_gone) reported

    @KlotzBets If her family can't understand that's their problem not hers or yours. If they want to gather so badly, let one of them host. It's better to forgo it this year so the gathering next year can include everyone and be bigger and better. There is always zoom or Skype or FaceTime.

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

  • _Jah_Kno_Star Lost and Confused. (@_Jah_Kno_Star) reported

    Me really refuse fa believe Skype/Avast unnecessary browser is what was holding me back from fixing this issue

  • SquidClaude Squiddy (@SquidClaude) reported

    @DrLMRobinson yeah, how am i meant to skype message "no he didn't he's lying, X did that" to my supervisor about my idiot man colleague when he once again tries to bs his way out of trouble

  • calmoriarty Professor Moriarty (@calmoriarty) reported

    @itsjd4real @JMPSimor @DLidington Yes, difficult to understand why they aren't able to meet over the phone/skype right now. Maybe Nanny's already put them all down for the night.

  • Laura722 Laura (@Laura722) reported

    I totally forgot about the extended promo after they didn't upload it last night. Looks good, but I can't help but be disappointed that Sami is going to find out about Allie's **** over Skype or whatever. #Days

  • GoddessVickyCat Goddess Vicky Cat 😼 (@GoddessVickyCat) reported

    I’d love to choke a beta down til I maxed out its credit card then spit on its face to let it know its useless after that. No money = useless Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE

  • ActaNon67624162 ActaNonVerba (@ActaNon67624162) reported

    @FactTank Yea. No kidding! I'm overseas & calling people in the US but bc I'm using Skype or a PAYG service (varies country to country) ppl don't answer bc they don't recognize the number. Hey, answer the damn phone! If you don't like what you hear, hang up! Easy-peasy. Don't be scared.

  • 0x09F9 Cris (@0x09F9) reported

    Two different routers plugged into the same @MediacomCable cable. Same symptoms. IP for 20 seconds, then no more IP, only L3. Support has so far blamed this on everything that's not a problem in @MediacomCable's IP network. Sorry mom. No @Skype for COVID-Christmas.

  • imaguid nobody (@imaguid) reported

    JFC, would companies kindly stop requiring mobile phones in order to unlock accounts that were locked for no reason. @Microsoft / @Skype - fix your ****!

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @britandjack i prefer to make fun of how slow it is and have a "not that upset" low grade moan and an excuse not to do zoom or skype. People are far too solution-focussed these days. I prefer to live in the problem and laugh at my predicament

  • hhhenrymercury hhhenrymercury (@hhhenrymercury) reported

    All I need for Xmas is a new laptop- and anyone who wants to buy an Skype show I can do it on my phone - or custom to help.... or donate or even buy me an Xmas gift. I’d be forever grateful.

    @BitchassMcGrass maybe computer manufacturers are paying Discord, Spotify, Steam, Skype, NordVPN, uTorrent, Blizzard, Origin, and Twitch to clog up memory at login so people think their computer is broken so they buy a new one

    @EleanorRylance If we are in lockdown they will need to negotiate via Zoom/ Skype etc. This last minute change will just run the clock down and either leave with no deal or extend the transition period or cancel altogether

  • izzybelle1964 💥 Cheating in not Winning 💥 (@izzybelle1964) reported

    @RaheemKassam I was always intrigued by the sudden popularity of zoom during Covid lockdown. Whatever happened to Skype? Zoom basically came out of nowhere and were how businesses small to large continued to operate during the shut down, so who knows what the CCP learned while easedropping...

  • Scarfey88 B S (@Scarfey88) reported

    @Skyebaby8Susan @andr3wmorton @edinburghpaper They clarified this morning nurseries are included in the lock down. Unfortunately pre schoolers can’t be looked after via Skype so it’s back to trying to work and childcare concurrently...

  • brianfharrison Brian F. Harrison, (Ph.D. but not doctor?) 🏳️‍🌈 (@brianfharrison) reported

    Dear @MicrosoftHelps: I can't login to my Skype account and when I try, it says it will send an email to reset my password. No email arrives. When I try to do chat help to speak to a person, I have to login first... but I can't do that... because, that's my problem. Help?!!?

    @JoBo1806 Does using Skype/zoom or whatever help? Just have them there to chat while you do daily stuff may help. We're planning family bingo nights in the weeks ahead.

  • gingylau laura. (@gingylau) reported

    @dtConfect I completely and utterly agree, I know it's nowhere near the same, could you Skype your parents? Something better than nothing I guess. Boris couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery let alone the country 🙄 anything I can help with give me a shout.
