Syed Muhammad Tariq Hussain 🇸🇩🇹🇷🇵🇰 (@SmTariq20) reported@Skype could you please resolve my issue, my skype subscribed number incoming calls are not working, my number ringing busy.
-
Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported@Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!
