  @Skype I have a problem with my account, but getting in touch with Skype is a challenge! I need my account for my work on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Could you please help out @SkypeSupport? #beatNTDs

  @Skype I can't make call. I have 27 minutes left, but you are asking more money. I think you have problem from the beginning of this month and still not yet solved. There is no support. What's going on?

  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

  @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).

  @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

  @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.

  @Skype AGAIN I AM GETTING NO WHERE! Failed lies from your customer service reps and hanging up in chat after I spend ages explain and typing! I am sick of it!

  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.

  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, @discord, people are starting to compare you to @Skype now. It's actually trending, worldwide. You remember what happened to Skype, don't you? Because of you? The irony would be delicious if the situation weren't so terrible. But you can fix this. You know what to do & how.

  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?

  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.

  .@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

  It is mind-blowing that @Microsoft is standing behind @MicrosoftTeams as an enterprise product. - Calls never connect - Major message synching issues between mobile and desktop - Super buggy Screw your AI offerings, fix basic software first my peeps or give us back @Skype.

  Skype web calling isn't working, and I still have active credits. This feels like a scam. I keep getting a "please register your Skype ID" error. Please fix your ****. @Skype @MicrosoftTeams
