Ó Gaff Mór (@Cocavan11) reported@Skype Skype comprises a combo of morons, idiots, & imbeciles. There's no way to contact anyone to correct an absurdly grotesque problem created by the above mentioned morons, idiots, & imbeciles. God save us from Know-It-All Techies! PERSIST! RESIST! RAGE! RETWEET!

A 🤖 (@mkdirydev) reportedSkype web calling isn't working, and I still have active credits. This feels like a scam. I keep getting a "please register your Skype ID" error. Please fix your ****. @Skype @MicrosoftTeams
-
Rahman Rezaei (@RahmanRezaei15) reported@Skype #robbery #theft report: I had a 60 min sub. After talking only 20 mins on the phone my credit ran out! I sent DM to @SkypeSupport and reported the issue, and they directed me to an imaginary non-existing team. If you like your money, avoid using #Skype. their reply:
-
Brian (@fuelbot) reported@Skype is a miserable service with abysmal customer service. The worst.
-
Mike Raymond (@mikeofkorea) reportedNo idea why, but all my contacts on @Skype disappeared. How on earth?? I need a snowplow service, but I never memorized that couple's number. What a bother. Once a year number, you know. Skype is sometimes more trouble than it's worth.
-
Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reportedIt is close to impossible to write an online review for @Skype. Their customer service is a joke! They reply at 4 in the morning just trying to take you off the social media. My account was locked for no reason, I was sent to a loop to find help. Nobody is answering on chat
-
Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported@Skype @Deepakbayofads My account is locked too for no reason. The chat kept me waiting forever and I never got to “chat”.You have a terrible new team at Skype. I use my account to call my elderly mother. She doesn’t have internet access and you cut off my only communication route. Brutal brutal brutal
-
Ó Gaff Mór (@Cocavan11) reported@Skype General Question to the TwitterVerse: Is Skype support as incompetent and as utterly unreachable as it seems to be or is there a secret to getting a human to deal with what Skype has made into an absurdly complex problem?
-
nargis gandhy 🇮🇳 (@GandhyNargis) reported@Skype @SkypeSupport Hey Skype, Why is no one helping with the issue? Kindly revert how do I circumvent merging contacts and proceed to using the app? Thx
-
Alex Taran (@taran_alex) reported@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
-
Luis Carrasco (@luiscarrascob) reported@PAHolder @bing @Skype Hey Peter. The bug should’ve been fixed on Friday. If you don’t mind, please PM me, let’s fix this for you
-
Logan (@CMON_YOU_REDS) reported@Skype hi I'm trying to use your service for the first time. I need to make a call from Asia to UK. When I add UK monthly subscription I do not get asked for payment it just displays the options again. I've tried 20 times I can't buy. Please help need to make urgent call. Thanks
-
Steve Green (@ukitspecialist) reported@Skype can you tell me when you will fix the problem of video calling from UK to Philippines. This has been down for over 3 weeks, reported to you and no response
-
Amin Jorati (@aminjorati) reported@Skype your support the #IranRevolution by offering free calls at a time the internet has been shut down in the country was greatly appreciated. Alas it was too short lived, while the revolution and crackdown continue. Any chance you'd like to renew your support?

Tim Vandenhoek (@timvdhk) reported@Skype Cant' get in my account- need a 7 digit code, but keep being sent 6 digits..... Help please

Bizcochada (@bizcochada) reported@Skype I need help. I want to talk to a live person. For the life of me I can’t get a human being to help me!!
-
AOB (@aob_aobyrne) reported@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?
-
信道 (しんどう)⁷ (@wangubaagu) reported@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.
-
Luis Carrasco (@luiscarrascob) reported@PAHolder @bing @Skype Might be able to fix this today-monday
-
Punished Seidhr (@PSeidhr) reported@TheGrandZero @Skype No, it was terrible.
-
Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reportedThey 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
-
Sandie Markle (@SandieMarkle) reported@Skype I need to cancel a subscription I’m being automatically charged for through my 365 account. This is extremely difficult. So is finding an email for customer support. Please help.
-
Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported@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!
-
misa (@misa0301) reported@Skype I can't make call. I have 27 minutes left, but you are asking more money. I think you have problem from the beginning of this month and still not yet solved. There is no support. What's going on?
