  @Skype @Deepakbayofads My account is locked too for no reason. The chat kept me waiting forever and I never got to “chat”.You have a terrible new team at Skype. I use my account to call my elderly mother. She doesn’t have internet access and you cut off my only communication route. Brutal brutal brutal

  Cancelled my @ViberHelp account now, as I couldn’t let this error carry on. Fortunately @Skype have a free trial for a month, so giving them a go. Hard to accept that Viber do this to me after being a loyal customer for 10 years.

  @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!

  .@ThreeUK anyone else who can’t make and receive calls because of the Three outage, try using @Viber Audio, I did and it showed my number on the other end too, I usually would use @Skype before but we know that’s no more.

  David Pitcher (@Boriga6) reported 34 minutes ago

  @Bangkok__Mike @Skype I have used Yolla, reliable but not as cheap as Skype. My default if I have a problem is to use 00X prefix from AIS my provider. 003, 007, 008 etc I search to see which is the cheapest. I believe all networks have a prefix internet call option.

  Ali (@X_509) reported 41 minutes ago

  Why the F @Skype has added random contacts in my chat list. There are so many random people chats (empty) in my Skype (now @MicrosoftTeams ) on November 29, 2024. I haven’t even logged in Skype and yet … this is causing a huge issue in my relationship… #skype @Microsoft

  Tanya Joosten (@tjoosten) reported 46 minutes ago

  So after years of not using @skype (probably for 15 years), I get a charge notification for Skype Number, 12 month subscription, $29.94, Paypal, Delivered. My ability to get ahold of @skype or get help = 0. Anyone know what's up?

  🇬🇧Dan Gleeballs Scambaiter🇬🇧 (@DanGleeballsYT) reported 48 minutes ago

  I miss the simplicity of @Skype ‘Heres an easy to use calling package that suits what you want. Here’s a number in the area you want. Away you go’ Tried teams & it was terrible to use.. Not user friendly at all & the amount of hurdles you have to go through is insane

  .@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?

  When your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox

  mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported 49 minutes ago

  @skype do you keep deleting my tweets? Why is the translator not working for me but it's working for the other person? All settings are correct. It's translating in the notifications but not in the chat itself

  The BFDB (@T08845657) reported 52 minutes ago

  @equity_avenger My mom had the same exact person call us 17 times today from different numbers. They use @Skype and some illegal program to hijack other people's phone numbers. The FBI or whoever need to crack down on Skype.

  Jazz Shaw (@JazzShaw) reported 53 minutes ago

  Been going down a rabbit hole. Anyone know (from experience, not the lies published online) how to cancel your @Skype account and stop them charging you without them threatening to cancel your @Microsoft account? Such a scam and it's almost impossible.

  Ó Gaff Mór (@Cocavan11) reported 54 minutes ago

  @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?
