  Hey, @discord, people are starting to compare you to @Skype now. It's actually trending, worldwide. You remember what happened to Skype, don't you? Because of you? The irony would be delicious if the situation weren't so terrible. But you can fix this. You know what to do & how.

  @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?

  Let it be known: someone steals your account with @Skype, changed the email so you can’t access it, @Microsoft won’t help you. You need access to the account or have to fill out forms that go nowhere. If anyone knows how to uncover cr*****@emlpro.com send it my way. I wanna sue.

  It 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

  Hi @Skype @SkypeSupport it seems my account is locked and you asked me for my phone number to get a security code, but when I enter my number you say it's not valid - I can't get back in and I can't get the reset code - please help

  @Skype @SkypeSupport Your service sucks. I enter Skype after some months, purchase $10 of credit. Then it asks me to confirm my identity and change my password TWICE, which I do. I try to call someone and my account gets locked. Important call btw. After 2 hours with support 1/3

  @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! 🤬

  @skype Is anyone else having trouble with these thieves? Confuse you over subscriptions vs. auto renew then keep taking money even though auto-renew is not enabled.

  @Skype both me and husband woke up to Skype sign out, passwords not accepted and now blocked. WTF? Only way to contact my 96 year old mum in England. Help?

  Alex Taran (@taran_alex) reported 57 minutes ago

  @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

  @Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.

  @RockycoonUK @Skype It should not be doing that. Fix is coming

  mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported 60 minutes ago

  @skype do you keep deleting my tweets? Why is the translator not working for me but it's working for the other person? All settings are correct. It's translating in the notifications but not in the chat itself
