  • fortressofmemes fortressofmemes (@fortressofmemes) reported

    @hEnereyG Ugh. I remember when they acquired Skype. It went from a fun way to talk to people to a giant pain in the *** I had to uninstall. I don’t even use Discord at the moment and I think this is terrible news.

  • Yassmin22292880 Yassmina 🇪🇬 ☘️ #Jerusalem_Capital_Of_Palestine (@Yassmin22292880) reported

    @Skype Skype down in Egypt!

  • jaxgreat8 Jaxgreat8 (@jaxgreat8) reported

    @ItsMpPlayz @thesquatingdog Microsoft has a history with shutting down platforms they acquired like Skype and Mixer and Discord might be next

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Skayote Tiberius (@Skayote) reported

    This is also the company that ****** minecrafts login page in the *** when they decided that you need an MS account for minecraft. This is also the company that assraped skype to death. This is also the company that charges you $60 a year to use other peoples online servers.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • KeySpyMaster ❄KeybladeSpyMaster🔑 (@KeySpyMaster) reported

    At the very least integrate the group features in Teams (Personal). And while on that boat, I'd retire the current Teams (Personal) app. And GroupMe. And Skype. Part of Microsoft's issue is that it has too many messaging apps. They should whittle it down to no more than two.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • zxcvbad KidAM (@zxcvbad) reported

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

  • 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?

  • 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 💪

  • Y00MFI khae⁷ is back !! (@Y00MFI) reported

    "you have to go." jungkook presses their foreheads together but taehyung shakes his head, letting a tear run down his cheek. "i'd probably say yes to everything you want jungkook, just not this." taehyung hears his voice waver. "we can skype."

  • 3v____Xeqtr , e ẋ.e ``` (@3v____Xeqtr) reported

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • moneygoo123 Daniel (@moneygoo123) reported

    @winfinityXD They are going to make it into Skype and it's going to be run down into the ground ):

  • 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.

  • Yassmin22292880 Yassmina 🇪🇬 ☘️ #Jerusalem_Capital_Of_Palestine (@Yassmin22292880) reported

    @Skype @HamieOfficial It's down in Egypt since yesterday evening

  • ihasaredcouch Jelley Saint-Allaire (@ihasaredcouch) reported

    @titan_frosty @Slasher You should be able to wait because Microsoft's history is of running Skype into the ground. Also trickle down economics is a lie.

  • 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

  • bjk394 Ben (@bjk394) reported

    @__caprica Still remember when they bought skype and drove it into the ground. They'd rather just burn cash to buy something new than fix what they have.

  • Reemaf23 Reema (@Reemaf23) reported

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

  • anime_arabian TheArabianAnime (@anime_arabian) reported

    @discord everything is broken. @Skype yall mf might have a come back

  • ragatinus Omniscient Ragatinus (@ragatinus) reported

    So microsoft bought skype, made it terrible and unpopular, and now they're going to buy discord? 🤔I wonder what's going to happen to discord in a couple of years if that happens.

  • Dwinkus Pat (@Dwinkus) reported

    reskinning skype to be "discord for business" and shunting everything one position down the line
