Abbas Sabeti (@abbas_sabeti) reportedI use @Skype subscriptions for talking to my family in Iran. Yesterday, Skype suspended my account because of using their service and told me I should create a new account, rest of my current package is gone and they even won't refund the package. Amazing service and support!!!

We use a SkypeOut number for our ministry overseas and have been repeatedly blocked without explanation or apology.

Amin Jorati (@aminjorati) reported@Skype your support the #IranRevolution by offering free calls at a time the internet has been shut down in the country was greatly appreciated. Alas it was too short lived, while the revolution and crackdown continue. Any chance you'd like to renew your support?
-

-
karmkhanna (@karmkhanna) reportedIt is mind-blowing that @Microsoft is standing behind @MicrosoftTeams as an enterprise product. - Calls never connect - Major message synching issues between mobile and desktop - Super buggy Screw your AI offerings, fix basic software first my peeps or give us back @Skype.

-
Dyno8man (@Dyno8man) reported@Microsoft @Skype I'm calling you out on your bullshit. YOUR Skype app is being freshly installed on YOUR computer from YOUR app store, and it's telling me that something is missing, and can't boot the app. Forget about YOUR help center, that doesn't help for ****. **** you.
-
Becky Coldrick (@BeckyColdrick) reported@Skype I've received some emails that appear legitimate about orders I have placed. I haven't placed any orders. Please help.
-
Alex Taran (@taran_alex) reported@Skype it’s second time this week I can’t call from Skype to a cell phone. I do have credits on balance and help page is absolutely useless. Last time the problem went away itself, but it’s annoying
-
Raymond Rios (@RiosRay) reportedIs @skype having issues? I can’t make calls using the app #skype What’s wrong?
-
IG (1M): @RealAimeeO (@RealAimeeO) reportedWhy is it so hard to get @Skype help ?
-
Akash Das (@UiAkash) reported@Skype @SkypeBusiness Full of error. Bad UX I've ever seen.
-
ChristmasTIME KeystonePRIME (@KeystonePRIME) reportedSo, @Skype, I need some guidance here. I have Googled already. On the PC app, I have a problem where the video stream from a member in a meeting is gone. The member is showing up on other members' screens, but not mine, on the host pc. Audio is present, just no video. Helb pls.
-
Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported@Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!
-
PriyaM (@priyamistryT1) reported@Skype I have paid for a subscription to call international numbers but it is not working correctly. I need to speak to someone about this and get a refund.
