  • TallestTim TallTim 🇺🇦 (@TallestTim) reported

    Hi @Skype. I've got a non Microsoft account that still has credit on that I want to use, but can't find a way to sign in using that account on an android or via browser only. Please can you help... Somewhat of an emergency.

  • colbeta_ Lambert (@colbeta_) reported

    I'm often out of Canada and would like to have a Canadian phone number on which people can call me when I'm abroad. Roaming is theft. CRTC blocks @Skype numbers or @Google voice. @Fongo_Mobile is not reliable enough. My workplace doesn't offer MS Teams phone service.

  • springdesign spring (@springdesign) reported from Roma Capitale, Lazio

    Our @Skype account was still attached to old address. After filling forms, solving AI research quiz, new email, name of ownership, 3 contacts (family members around the world, btw) @Microsoft team decided it was not enough proof, try again! Help?

  • MetteChr7 Mette Christensen (@MetteChr7) reported

    @Skype Why is Skype allowing anonymous SMS Messages from a Live:.cid Id? It is impossible to track down and stop the messages. Don't Skype care about safety online?

  • DasJyotishko Jyotishko Das (@DasJyotishko) reported

    @Skype trying to connect calling while using your calling package saying the numbers are invalid. Do you even have a customer care number ?? This is terrible to say the least.

  • KanyeStan15 Kanye Stan (@KanyeStan15) reported

    @skype @SkypeSupport you guys still haven’t responded to my tweet I guess you can’t help me.

  • dimelodia87 Gianina Tapia (@dimelodia87) reported

    @Skype is not working from several days and nobody from @Microsoft is able to solve my problem.

  • ProPankajThakur Pankaj Singh Thakur (@ProPankajThakur) reported

    @Skype i.e. Account Recovery Form. Since I created this account some 16 years ago, therefore I don't remember the EXACT AND ALL information while creating it. Chats with your help desks multiple times have been unfruitful. They tell the only option is rhe FORM.2

  • KanyeStan15 Kanye Stan (@KanyeStan15) reported

    @skype @SkypeSupport I can’t receive text for my forgotten skype account even though the last 4digit for the number is correct? Any help?

  • inguralipsane Ingura Lipšāne (@inguralipsane) reported

    @Skype problem on PC - I cannot get into another chat history, copy the necessary texts and paste in the current chat while speaking with a student. Now a blank window shows there. It is crucial for me to be able to monitor all chats while speaking with one person. Restart done.

    @LightbulbJo @Skype @SkypeSupport Honestly I feel like zoom might be the best bet at this point so fed up of the problem with Skype 🫤

  • HenryGr72865550 Henry B Graves (@HenryGr72865550) reported

    @Skype The biggest fraud perpetrated on America since the JFK assassination. DON'T USE SKYPE. Zero customer service skills. Zero accountability. Easily will take your money but they wont return your money.

  • That_Musician AngstyJew🎶 (@That_Musician) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @Skype? I'm trying to do three way video call with friends in Israel and it's not working for some reason. I wonder if there is anything else. #SkypeIsBroken #SkypeIsAJoke

  • kaylabrocktalks Kayla (@kaylabrocktalks) reported

    I paid for credit for a @Skype call and it’s still saying I have no credit and asking me to buy more. I already see the transaction on my credit card account. Can you all help?

  • JazminAseret Jazmín Garza (@JazminAseret) reported

    Today I solved an issue through @Skype (because neither my cellphone nor my landline were working)… Skype! #ftw

  • RuthLove0147 Ruth Love (@RuthLove0147) reported

    @jhfl @Skype It’s a real shame. Well I’m just a little reluctant to use any hackers, I hope @Duza_hack on iG can hopefully resolve this problem. I’ve had to create a Twitter account just so someone can hopefully respond! Guess I ain’t the only one suffering but he clearly solve my issue

  • quiethavenfarm Rachel Howell (@quiethavenfarm) reported

    @Skype help! Can’t find customer service contact anywhere. We are getting monthly credit card charge for skype that we never agreed to. Help! Doesn’t show up on our Skype account that we have any Skype billings

  • Deepakbayofads Deepak Lal (@Deepakbayofads) reported

    My @Skype is not working from several days and nobody from @Microsoft is able to solve my problem. I had chat with the @SkypeSupport team & all of the team members are saying the same thing it will take 24-72hrs and now it's more than 12 days, and my account is still locked.
