  @SkypeSupport @Skype I was asked to send a direct message a couple of days ago. And I have been chatting with someone. And they stopped replying before my issue was resolved. I'm having issues with the translator. Why do you keep deleting my tweets?

  .@Skype I’m paying for Skype phone number. I can’t receive phone calls. I’ve tried your bot support oh sorry “Virtual”. I’ve done that “support” list, tried “support” more bots!, but I’m paying for phone # that still isn’t receiving calls. Any humans I can get help from?

  Once upon a time, @Skype would just keep your paid credit for years. It would just work. Now they say "We're going to turn it inactive after 180 days and make you jump through hoops to reactivate it and oh yeah our credit systems are down so we can't reactivate it right now." BOO

  @Skype General Question to the TwitterVerse: Is Skype support as incompetent and as utterly unreachable as it seems to be or is there a secret to getting a human to deal with what Skype has made into an absurdly complex problem?

  @Skype After updating my password on Saturday, I'm locked out of my account. I get a message saying 'We've detected activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement'. I sent a message explaining this to the provided address but to no avail. Anyone else had this problem?

  @Skype I have the translator turned on and it's only working for the other person. The notifications appear in English but the actual conversation is showing the original language. How do I fix this?

  It is close to impossible to write an online review for @Skype. Their customer service is a joke! They reply at 4 in the morning just trying to take you off the social media. My account was locked for no reason, I was sent to a loop to find help. Nobody is answering on chat

  @Skype So how many hours do I have to wait for you to send me my login code? Thank God it's not an important conference. Skype is not to be trusted, obviously.

  @Skype Can you PLEASE resolve a bug that's been posted about for years on MS Support forums where Skype kills all other audio when using bluetooth headsets? There are threads closed out from a year ago, yet the issue persists, and many have reported it.

  O.T Sumi (@Adegox) reported 56 minutes ago

  @Microsoft has this terrible habit of signing me out of my accounts and then requiring a code to log back in. The problem is that they never send the code!!! I’m ******* locked out of @Skype and I need it for work! 🤬

  Have any Christian ministries had trouble with @Skype or @SkypeSupport blocking access to their Skype or @Microsoft account repeatedly? We use a SkypeOut number for our ministry overseas and have been repeatedly blocked without explanation or apology.
