Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
The Foremoststore (@foremoststore) reportedI 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. :(
-
DemmyTheG.O.A.T🐐 (@Demmydaviz) reported@WhatsApp Fix the quality of your Video calls @WhatsApp Let it be High quality like @Skype
-
Morzan 🚀🚀 (@sirdebo001) reported@aob_aobyrne @Skype Talk to @Lordtechi they helped me when support services wouldn’t help me🥺..
-
Wulden (@Wulden83) reported@brintonyosaia @TheGrandZero @Skype teams has been around before that though. But yeah, I just noticed that they did shut these down back in 2025.
-
Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reportedThey never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport
-
Mike Raymond (@mikeofkorea) reportedNo idea why, but all my contacts on @Skype disappeared. How on earth?? I need a snowplow service, but I never memorized that couple's number. What a bother. Once a year number, you know. Skype is sometimes more trouble than it's worth.
-
CLIVE SHERER (@CliveSherer) reported@skype Is anyone else having trouble with these thieves? Confuse you over subscriptions vs. auto renew then keep taking money even though auto-renew is not enabled.
-
[W1VA]Vidar Vapor (@VidarVapor) reportedI guess it's almost time go to back to @Skype since @discord has been nothing but giving me issues even after several updates. D:
-
Jean Thoensen 🗳️🎓🍫 (@JeanThoensen) reportedHey @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.
-
Mark Dixon (@markdixon100) reported@Skype When are the current billing issues and log in issues going to be sorted?
-
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!
-
Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reportedIt 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
-
Raisins_Liaisons🏳️🌈🌻 (@Raisins_Liasons) reportedSo @Skype is down which is super problematic because I use it solely for work. Fun Friday!
-
Gaurav Gaur (@GauravGaur1986) reported@Microsoft needing support to setup substitute of @Skype manager. The @MicrosoftTeams is totally new to me. Pl help urgently.
-
Marc Lee (@marc_lee123) reported@Skype your services have been down for almost a week? I can call my friends and family on their land line or mobile using my credit. I have now missed my mum's birthday and my parent's anniversary This is unacceptable!!
-
AOB (@aob_aobyrne) reported@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?
-
SporeRose ⭐️🌙🌟 (@SporeRose) reported@HimeMysti @Skype Skype's already shut down. Plus, you couldn't really build a community on there.
-
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
-
RAMSQUIAT (@ramsquiat) reported@Skype is charging me $3.49 over and over again for a service I’m not able to use through @Apple subscriptions. Everytime I try to cancel they charge me again. Please fix this.
-
Hatice ‘Deniz’ AVCI (@HaticeDenizAVCI) reported.@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.
-
Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported.@skype #skype Your product has become too unreliable to use for business. I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN WITH TASK MANAGER. That is a problem when a program is unresponsive. And yours is unresponsive a lot. Made me late to a meeting today. #byeskype
-
Sarah Moser (@pixistik04) reported@Skype I don’t have Skype on my iPhone yet when I accept Skype on my MacBook, it keeps trying to connect to the camera on my iPhone. Why and how do I fix this? It’s annoying.
-
Lidia R (@lr123456789101) reported@Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.

I want a refund and I am looking into alternative apps. FIX your program. @SkypeSupport @Skype #ScamAlert #badservice 3/3

CLIVE SHERER (@CliveSherer) reported@skype why dont you have a proper customer help system?
-
mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported@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
-
Gaurav Gaur (@GauravGaur1986) reported@Microsoft I need substitute of @Skype to make calls from india to abroad phone numbers. Kindly help 🙏 @MicrosoftIndia
-
Nick (@NickBungay) reportedLet it be known: someone steals your account with @Skype, changed the email so you can’t access it, @Microsoft won’t help you. You need access to the account or have to fill out forms that go nowhere. If anyone knows how to uncover cr*****@emlpro.com send it my way. I wanna sue.
