  @Bangkok__Mike @Skype I have used Yolla, reliable but not as cheap as Skype. My default if I have a problem is to use 00X prefix from AIS my provider. 003, 007, 008 etc I search to see which is the cheapest. I believe all networks have a prefix internet call option.

  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

  I miss the simplicity of @Skype ‘Heres an easy to use calling package that suits what you want. Here’s a number in the area you want. Away you go’ Tried teams & it was terrible to use.. Not user friendly at all & the amount of hurdles you have to go through is insane

  @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.

  @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?

  @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!

  .@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
