    @Skype could you help me to put credit into my account? I am trying it for ages and it says "processing..."

  • 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

  • JMarieBG Joan M. Blanco (@JMarieBG) reported

    Hey @Skype @SkypeSupport are you ok? I have been unable to make calls today. Is there an expected time to be back on service? Thanks.

  • PAHolder Peter Anthony Holder (@PAHolder) reported

    @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!

    @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.

    @Skype Hi,I signed up for Skype with subscription service. This was back in Pakistan. I am now in the US and don't have the phone or phone number I was using in Pakistan. I have tried to sign in and verify online, multiple times. But this has been unsuccessful.

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

    @Kacopon2 @Skype I guessed it what’s a momentary problem! But it’s not working yet

  • Sunfish1982 Sunfishy (@Sunfish1982) reported

    @LightbulbJo @Skype @SkypeSupport Honestly I feel like zoom might be the best bet at this point so fed up of the problem with Skype 🫤

  • chimmy77 Votey McVoteface 🌻 (@chimmy77) reported

    @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?
