    @Skype please sort it. I'm fed up of asking you for help, and something changes but then all the issues start up again. I've reported it more times than I can be bothered to count and it still ends up the same. Fed up on it.

    @robheverly @Skype Disabling caller ID is a workaround but the issue still looms large.

    @Skype @SkypeSupport it's unethical (illegal?) of you to make it impossible or nearly impossible to cancel a subscription. There is no "manage" subscription button, no "cancel" button, and the canned "help" gives incorrect information about how to cancel. What gives?

    @Kacopon2 @AltenbergLee @Skype I turned off caller id and I'm able to make outgoing calls again. This is not ok as my calls get blocked or unanswered. Pls fix this bug, Skype!

    @skype won't let me make outgoing calls. Seems to be a big issue. But I learned not to search Twitter for the word 'Skype'

    What's the point of @SkypeSupport if you don't actually support the people who are begging for support? I think I'll dispute the credit card charge on the basis that you haven't provided the service (calling). Then @Skype will have to PROVE to VISA that they did. Good luck.

    @Skype I am having two problems with my Skype account: 1) In my web version I can't see the reactions (emojis or GIFS) 2) I deleted my App from my iphone and when I reinstalled it, the messages appear as calls (Blocked) and I tried everything and it does not return to normal.

    Why do we allow companies like @Microsoft to buy companies like @Skype when their only intention is to destroy the product and shut it down to offer their own competing product @MicrosoftTeams. It shouldn’t be allowed!

    @Skype Skype is my means of work. I call patients and patients call me. But when I try to return missed calls, or even make any calls for that matter, it keeps getting dropped. It is seriously harming my job and my relationship with my company. Please help me.

    @blackdragonz21 @SkypeSupport I didn't have the problem yesterday, but starting today, I couldn't make calls. I checked to see if @Skype said or tweeted anything, but there has been nothing. I can only guess that something catastrophic has happened, their entire system is down and they're all dead!

    @SkypeSupport @Skype you need to fix this “blocked caller” issue asap. It’s a massive problem. I’m getting calls every 3 minutes. Not only do I have the feature only allowing my contacts to call, but I cannot even pick up said calls. Get this spam off your product.
