    @ErrorsHead @Skype @SkypeSupport The only real move to help Iran from foreign companies was through Skype... something that even the most pretentious European and American governments did not do. That's a lot 🙏

  • Justin_D_Martin Justin D. Martin | جاستن مارتن (@Justin_D_Martin) reported

    If WCup is about bringing ppl together, surely Qatar gov, Ooredoo & Vodafone will drop ban on @WhatsApp, @Skype, & all VOIP calls. Yes u can skirt ban by paying for VPN but network will be stressed during WC & calls w/ VPN might not work. This is safety issue not just convenience

  • RE_Z_A_ Reza (@RE_Z_A_) reported

    @Skype Thanks so much for supporting Iranian by giving free access to phone call service.

  • Gdots21 A (@Gdots21) reported

    @Skype I know skype made calls to Iran free and I finally got to get in touch with my mom the other day. But today I tried to call her again and it would not let me and was asking for credit. Was wondering if this is a glitch or the calls to Iran are no longer free?

  • BehzadianAli Ali Behzadian Nejad (@BehzadianAli) reported

    @Skype You terminated free calls to Iran, or it's a technical issue?

  • sanaaazi Sanaaaz (@sanaaazi) reported

    @Skype People of Iran needs your help! Can you make Skype available to the people of Iran free of charge? They need it to call the dictatorship governments' offices to condemn their policies and ask them to resign. #MahsaAmin
