    @kog1 @Skype I'm sorry you're having difficulties with your account. I was disappointed when my account also had the same problem with yours, thanks to @harry_hacker007 he was recommended to me today and he fixed my account successfully

  • Barrazao666 EB (@Barrazao666) reported

    @Skype I am not receiving calls or sms and I have a subscription membership. Please assist me with this issue.

  • kog1 kog1 (@kog1) reported

    @Skype Why does Skype make everything difficult. We can’t talk with Skype reps on the phone. We have to chat in a chatbox. Then skype cuts off a subscription without running the card for $30.50 annual renewal . And then you do nothing to help get the charge run!!!

    Guys, Help!! I need to know, for research purposes (and for once @Google results are failing me 😭😭😭😭_) Does anyone know if @skype was free for people to use (like basically just a video call to another person on it) in 2004ish? #writerslife #Important #questions

    I've been locked out of my @Microsoft / @Skype account with what appears to be a hack. The "support" function is an endless loop of webpages that go nowhere and keep telling me to log in to get help. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • kog1 kog1 (@kog1) reported

    @Skype Skype doesn’t feel any urgency about anything except to cut me off without forewarning or communication or message or email or text, just cut me off and don’t tell me there was some payment card issue and meanwhile don’t forewarn me you are cutting off my Skype!!!!!
