    @SamsungIndia @SkypeSupport @Skype I recently bought Samsung Galaxy M52 5G. Installed Skype. I am getting this error "Your connection is too weak. Please try again later." I am using a fiber line 100Mbps and using wifi. Not sure if the problem is with the phone of the Skype app.

  • MrMercuryCat Mr. Mercury (@MrMercuryCat) reported

    Has anyone ever had an issue using @Skype to call a landline and the app keeps telling you the number is invalid or that your call has been rejected? No matter how many times you try?

  • KostjaPalovic Kostja Palović Appliku.com (@KostjaPalovic) reported

    Ever since @microsoft bought @Skype - this app just went down on quality so much. I have one reason to use skype twice a week and I hate it. Message syncing thru years doesn't work across devices. DND promises not to display calls but phone is still ringing for skype. wtf...

  • sharenao Bronwyn Jones (@sharenao) reported

    BTW @Skype my account is still having problems.

  • aminjorati Amin Jorati (@aminjorati) reported

    I am trying to cancel my subscription with @Skype for a couple of months. I don't have the option to cancel it as per the instructions online. Writing directly to them has only resulted in a reiteration of what is mentioned online and there is no customer service number. Help

  • steve_magruder Steve **ONLY 70% OF KY ADULTS VAXXED?!!** Magruder (@steve_magruder) reported

    How come @Skype doesn't know about or hasn't fixed the longstanding issue of their tray icon disappearing in Windows 10? Old unfixed bugs piss me off.

  • VereigenMedia Vereigen Media (@VereigenMedia) reported

    My skype account is not working #skypeDown #SkypeSupport @Skype

  • sharenao Bronwyn Jones (@sharenao) reported

    I was on a chat with Microsoft tech help for a problem with my @Skype account. And I'm assuming this had to be an AI bot : "You are most welcome. You have been very kind and I wish all customers are like you. I am glad that you are my first customer today. Processing it now."

  • Shaliya_Khan Shaliya 😷 (@Shaliya_Khan) reported

    Need help @SkypeSupport @Skype! The payments from my Indian credit card are getting refused despite numerous attempts. What is the solution? The international number and Skype credits are essential for my business. This is inconvenient. Please suggest an alternative. Thanks!

  • JJFBlaster JJFBlaster (@JJFBlaster) reported

    Why is it so difficult to get a hold of the @Skype support team!? I have a problem that your virtual agents don't acknowledge, and there's no clear way to get a hold of anybody!

  • MayCoelho51 May.Coelho (@MayCoelho51) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport @Microsoft so after all this time still nothing was done about my problem. To make things worse EVERY FREAKING DAY I get an email from SKYPE saying that my subscription was/will be cancelled or expired due to payment problems. REALLY!? Isn't it enough?!

  • patrycjaholuk Patrycja Holuk (@patrycjaholuk) reported

    I tried to call, tweet and write on Facebook to either @microsoft or @Skype (for a week now) and got 0 solution to my problem. Honestly? You suck.

  • Napaaqtuk Dr. Kat Milligan-Myhre ❄️ (@Napaaqtuk) reported

    Shout out to @Skype for allowing people to make free 1-800 calls. My phone doesn't work in Kotzebue, so being able to cancel catalogs (12!!) & make flight arrangements on Skype so my dad can keep getting calls of support on his land-line has been a huge help.

  • leroumdeux Alex (@leroumdeux) reported

    @AppleSupport I left my MacBook Air M1 on my desk last night with nothing but @Skype running (and still, it wasn't in use), and it was set to go in sleep mode after a few minutes when on battery. The problem is that I found my computer with no battery at all this morning...
