  @Skype @GooglePlay and @Paytm I have been facing an issue with Skype subscription,when I contacted Skype they told me it's Google's fault and when I contacted Google support they told me to contact paytm. I subscribed for Skype credits through Google,paid money through Paytm.

  I bought a @Skype number and share it with my clients, when they call the number they got a "this number is not in use" ring. Can anyone help me? @SkypeSupport has a pathetic support service, I have been trying to contact them for 4 hours but it ends up by stuck in a queue. :(

  For over a month now when I Skype with my gf she can see herself in the camera window but not me, same for me. Any other app we use has no camera issue. But we love Skype. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?

  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?

  @Skype sort your system topped up 7 hours ago to make an overseas call and credit not added to account when contacting support told will take 2 days surely that's illegal for not informing of any problems or maintenance before taking my payment

  @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.

  Robbie Ellis (@ellisrobbie) reported 36 minutes ago

  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 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

  @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.

  .@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.

  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
