  • 2goldilocks Goldilocks (@2goldilocks) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype How can I get someone to fix the issue I have with my Skype to Go access numbers? It's outrageous that I pay for a service I can't use. The online chat is useless! I don't need a guy telling me he can't help me because he is a only a level 1 support advisor!

  • tipheret Piotr Gnyp (@tipheret) reported

    @plipiec @Zoom @Skype I'm watching this pitching session, and it's the second dev in the row that has some kind of problems with sharing the screen etc

  • petrkout Petr Kout (@petrkout) reported

    @Skype charging $50 for a service that doesn't work and offering absolutely no tech support other than community forum is unacceptable. You claim I can get refund on your website, but even that isn't working. How do I reach a human being to get this resolved?

  • Reemaf23 Reema (@Reemaf23) reported

    @Skype I cannot log into my account after several attempts. Please coukd you help. Thank you.

  • NaturalDivineMA Natural Divine (@NaturalDivineMA) reported

    You need to come out with a statement and apologize to all the victims and ensure them that you'll do better and make sure this never happens again. You @Skype are part of the problem, please fix it.

  • petrkout Petr Kout (@petrkout) reported

    @Skype @Skype as a paying customer, I'd really like to have a way to talk to a human being when I need a tech support. Is there such an option? I purchased Skype Number, but have problems with it. What number can I call to get support?

  • WhyeFeM FM (@WhyeFeM) reported

    @Skype i've tried all of those suggestions but your support who i reached out to says they know about the issue and its to do with the telco company. so its a know issue and theer are lots of others with teh same issue

    @Slasher such a large part of my video game world collapsed when MSN shut down overnight and tried (unsuccessfully) to force everything into skype

  • fredyfx Fredy Guibert フレディ (@fredyfx) reported

    hey @Skype I don't have service since the last 2 days, is there a problem with Skype To Go number? I call as usual, it rang and then it hangs up without opportunity to set the number to dial. Any idea?

  • satyaganguli Satyabrata Ganguli (@satyaganguli) reported

    Is there an outage on @Skype #desktopapp and #skypeforweb. None of my chat history and contacts are showing up on these platforms. #skypeandroidapp is still working as usual. @SkypeSupport please look into this issue. @SkypeBusiness need a fix ASAP.

  • jhoffman Jordan Hoffman (@jhoffman) reported

    I had to Google for outside help to cancel my @Skype number. There are 400 links all over the place and *TINY* one hidden 3 pages in for "settings." This is the only way to then find the *tinier* "cancel" button. ***** POOL, SKYPE! #ZoomBoom

  • WhyeFeM FM (@WhyeFeM) reported

    @Skype i have had no skype-to-go access since March 30 with no update as to when it will be fixed. There are hundreds of users reporting the same online. We are all paying for a service that doesnt work. When will it be fixed?

  • lilmsrandom Little Ms Random (@lilmsrandom) reported

    Having trouble using my @Skype to Go. I'm being told the STG phone number is invalid even though I've logged in to check if I have credit and if it has changed (I do and it hasn't). Help?

  • AndresHeuberger Golden Calf (@AndresHeuberger) reported

    Trying to log in to @Skype @SkypeSupport after a year. Lots of error messages. Now I see how you lost lost out to Zoom 💪

  • journoian Ian Murphy (@journoian) reported

    Disable auto-recharge on @Skype. Don't make a call or use any chargeable service. #Skype then makes an unauthorised charge to credit card and re-enables auto-recharge. Does it get any more #dishonest? No response from Skype support as to why this happened. #theft

  • WhyeFeM FM (@WhyeFeM) reported

    @fredyfx @Skype i reported this too. i was told it was a know issue that has been reported. Day 4 without service and still paying. @Microsoft whats going on?

    @Skype Skype down in Egypt!

  • Matt_Gorst Matt (@Matt_Gorst) reported

    @Skype I've just had a very important interview with @AFCOStoke delayed due to a distinct repetitive beeping sound occurring throughout the call. The video quality was fine however I've spent the last hour trying to resolve the issue. Is it possible you could provide any insight?

  • satyaganguli Satyabrata Ganguli (@satyaganguli) reported

    @Skype The @skype chat history issue resolved a few minutes ago. However I still have a long standing issue with skype. Every time I send a file, I'm automatically logged out of the skype desktop app. I can never download any kind of files using skype. I can't send send a screenshot.

  • Ngadhnjim Ngadhnjim (@Ngadhnjim) reported

    @Skype Hi. I have in the past used Skype to make a phone call in Albania. I don't understand why I need to go through an issue troubleshooting this time to make a phone call to a number that I never dialed before. I point out that I never called it before to show that there was no reasn

  • NekoiNemo NekoiNemo (@NekoiNemo) reported

    @nickjcal Remember how Skype was actually pretty good when it was independent? More realistic outline would be: buy Discord, kill Skype, make Discord as terrible as Skype is now

  • mrosenberg789 Mark Rosenberg (@mrosenberg789) reported

    @Skype Yes the on line HELP bot was not much use. I still seem to have lost the credit from my account.

  • cynthiayip Cynthia (@cynthiayip) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @Skype @SkypeSupport someone hacked into my account and I have troubles trying to find help on your website. Can you tell me how to contact your customer service about this issue?

  • Ngadhnjim Ngadhnjim (@Ngadhnjim) reported

    @Skype for me to have blocked it. I was very willing to pay for the call with money, but not also with the time to troubleshoot this kind of issue, and this is why I did not reply to your earlier tweet. Thanks.

  • zxcvbad KidAM (@zxcvbad) reported

    @Skype Skype to go service is broken for the past few days

  • WhyeFeM FM (@WhyeFeM) reported

    @bbc, @CNBC - @Skype has a problem since March 30. there have been zero updates or info from them. Their support blamed the telco company. Meanwhile we continue to pay for no service and no idea when it will be back. What if its customers abandoned Skype like its abandoned us?
