  @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?

  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

  @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

  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 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 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.

  @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

  @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.

  Why is it so hard to get @Skype help ?

  Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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!

  @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
