  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.

  @Skype Why can I not use any of @surfshark VPN anymore with your service..? Both work fine on their own.. Please tell me how to amend this. I have tried every location possible on the VPN service and I cannot make any calls whatsoever

  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

  Hey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.

  So, it's been a long time, but when did @Skype become a combination of expensive to use, completely unintuitive, and broken?

• 
  David Pitcher (@Boriga6) reported 22 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.

  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.

  @Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).
