    @Skype Skype down in Egypt!

  • journoian Ian Murphy (@journoian) reported

    Disable auto-recharge on @Skype. Don't make a call or use any chargeable service. #Skype then makes an unauthorised charge to credit card and re-enables auto-recharge. Does it get any more #dishonest? No response from Skype support as to why this happened. #theft

  • 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?

  • VanessaEastwoo6 Vanessa Eastwood (@VanessaEastwoo6) reported

    @fredyfx @Skype Is this issue still persisting ?

  • anime_arabian TheArabianAnime (@anime_arabian) reported

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

  • petrkout Petr Kout (@petrkout) reported

    @Skype charging $50 for a service that doesn't work and offering absolutely no tech support other than community forum is unacceptable. You claim I can get refund on your website, but even that isn't working. How do I reach a human being to get this resolved?

  • 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?

  • Freshp_5YT Fresh P-5 (@Freshp_5YT) reported

    @Skype I just see a white screen but I have restarted my computer and the problem was fixed

  • 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

  • zxcvbad KidAM (@zxcvbad) reported

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

  • 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

    @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

  • Raviraj57555590 Raviraj Soni (@Raviraj57555590) reported

    @Skype Hello, could you please help me now?

  • Matt_Gorst Matt (@Matt_Gorst) reported

    @Skype I've just had a very important interview with @AFCOStoke delayed due to a distinct repetitive beeping sound occurring throughout the call. The video quality was fine however I've spent the last hour trying to resolve the issue. Is it possible you could provide any insight?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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 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.

  • Ric36375151 Ricardo R (@Ric36375151) reported

    @Skype I need help to log in in my account. I cannot find which email its related to. The username is not working either, it's : live:.cid.9941edaa6bab75c

  • 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?

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

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

  • NaturalDivineMA Natural Divine (@NaturalDivineMA) reported

    You need to come out with a statement and apologize to all the victims and ensure them that you'll do better and make sure this never happens again. You @Skype are part of the problem, please fix it.

  • Reemaf23 Reema (@Reemaf23) reported

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

  • 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.

  • 2goldilocks Goldilocks (@2goldilocks) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype How can I get someone to fix the issue I have with my Skype to Go access numbers? It's outrageous that I pay for a service I can't use. The online chat is useless! I don't need a guy telling me he can't help me because he is a only a level 1 support advisor!

  • FifiBearXoX Fifi Bear (@FifiBearXoX) reported

    @Microsoft needs to keep @Skype because @MicrosoftTeams is terrible. I dont want to hide chats I would rather delete them. Skype is so much more user friendly.

  • tipheret Piotr Gnyp (@tipheret) reported

    @plipiec @Zoom @Skype I'm watching this pitching session, and it's the second dev in the row that has some kind of problems with sharing the screen etc

  • satyaganguli Satyabrata Ganguli (@satyaganguli) reported

    @Skype The @skype chat history issue resolved a few minutes ago. However I still have a long standing issue with skype. Every time I send a file, I'm automatically logged out of the skype desktop app. I can never download any kind of files using skype. I can't send send a screenshot.

  • satyaganguli Satyabrata Ganguli (@satyaganguli) reported

    Is there an outage on @Skype #desktopapp and #skypeforweb. None of my chat history and contacts are showing up on these platforms. #skypeandroidapp is still working as usual. @SkypeSupport please look into this issue. @SkypeBusiness need a fix ASAP.
