    Hi @Skype. I've got a non Microsoft account that still has credit on that I want to use, but can't find a way to sign in using that account on an android or via browser only. Please can you help... Somewhat of an emergency.

  • colbeta_ Lambert (@colbeta_) reported

    I'm often out of Canada and would like to have a Canadian phone number on which people can call me when I'm abroad. Roaming is theft. CRTC blocks @Skype numbers or @Google voice. @Fongo_Mobile is not reliable enough. My workplace doesn't offer MS Teams phone service.

  • RuthLove0147 Ruth Love (@RuthLove0147) reported

    @jhfl @Skype It’s a real shame. Well I’m just a little reluctant to use any hackers, I hope @Duza_hack on iG can hopefully resolve this problem. I’ve had to create a Twitter account just so someone can hopefully respond! Guess I ain’t the only one suffering but he clearly solve my issue

  • springdesign spring (@springdesign) reported from Roma Capitale, Lazio

    Our @Skype account was still attached to old address. After filling forms, solving AI research quiz, new email, name of ownership, 3 contacts (family members around the world, btw) @Microsoft team decided it was not enough proof, try again! Help?

    @Skype problem on PC - I cannot get into another chat history, copy the necessary texts and paste in the current chat while speaking with a student. Now a blank window shows there. It is crucial for me to be able to monitor all chats while speaking with one person. Restart done.

  • jvmediadesign Sherry Holub - Wizard of Design (@jvmediadesign) reported

    @Skype Whatever happened in the latest update has made it so that every message coming in from my regular contacts on Skype on my iPhone says "blocked". I use Skype on my laptop for messaging and even messages I send say blocked on my iPhone. Help?

  • ProPankajThakur Pankaj Singh Thakur (@ProPankajThakur) reported

    @Skype i.e. Account Recovery Form. Since I created this account some 16 years ago, therefore I don't remember the EXACT AND ALL information while creating it. Chats with your help desks multiple times have been unfruitful. They tell the only option is rhe FORM.2

  • Deepakbayofads Deepak Lal (@Deepakbayofads) reported

    My @Skype is not working from several days and nobody from @Microsoft is able to solve my problem. I had chat with the @SkypeSupport team & all of the team members are saying the same thing it will take 24-72hrs and now it's more than 12 days, and my account is still locked.

    @Skype The biggest fraud perpetrated on America since the JFK assassination. DON'T USE SKYPE. Zero customer service skills. Zero accountability. Easily will take your money but they wont return your money.
