    Need help @SkypeSupport @Skype! The payments from my Indian credit card are getting refused despite numerous attempts. What is the solution? The international number and Skype credits are essential for my business. This is inconvenient. Please suggest an alternative. Thanks!

  • KostjaPalovic Kostja Palović Appliku.com (@KostjaPalovic) reported

    Ever since @microsoft bought @Skype - this app just went down on quality so much. I have one reason to use skype twice a week and I hate it. Message syncing thru years doesn't work across devices. DND promises not to display calls but phone is still ringing for skype. wtf...

    Hey @Microsoft, your @Skype Repository for Linux is having a bad signature, fix it.

  • JJFBlaster JJFBlaster (@JJFBlaster) reported

    Why is it so difficult to get a hold of the @Skype support team!? I have a problem that your virtual agents don't acknowledge, and there's no clear way to get a hold of anybody!

  • FanStalin ЭNA - pain (@FanStalin) reported

    Gamers, if @discord gets into NFTs, we going back to @Skype Instead of fixing the massive scam account stealing problem, u wanna contribute to capitalism destroying the environment 👌👌👌👌👌

  • marcosluk Marco Landi (@marcosluk) reported

    @Skype Dear Skype, are you ever going to fix subtitles during calls???

  • larrylynch Larry Lynch (@larrylynch) reported

    Why do I hate Microsoft? Its time to cancel a long-held @Skype account, but try to find a way to do it or a live person from @Microsoft to help. It’s impossible. What a horrible company. Have to wait until they charge the card to dispute the charge.

  • MayCoelho51 May.Coelho (@MayCoelho51) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport @Microsoft my account was blocked a month ago. I filled up the online reinstatement form many times and nothing has happened. I've got a subscription that will soon be charged on my credit card. Live chat support couldn't help me. Is there anybody who can?

  • chrisboardoo Chris B. (@chrisboardoo) reported

    @Skype can you please fix the continuous connection lags every 2 min. Thx

  • danielrock Daniel Rock (@danielrock) reported

    Hey @replyall here’s an interesting case for super tech support: Microsoft’s fraud management for @Skype appears to be fully automated. This makes account recovery exceedingly difficult. I wonder to what extent this is a strategic choice. Please help @danielascur!

  • laly1945 Gladys Castillo D (@laly1945) reported

    @Skype I am sorry,but my English it is not very good, and need assistance in Spanish,because I have problems with the charge

  • WilfSplodNokit Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    @JustinMac_84 I've just had to check for a latest version because my @Skype still seems to be accessible. I'm not having an issue but have heard a few people say they're struggling with keyboard navigation. I assume you've tried reloading both Skype and the screen reader?

  • ghelani_krunal Krunal Ghelani (@ghelani_krunal) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport , someone has hacked my skype account, I have been using for 10 years and changed the recovery email. Please help me to get it back.

  • MayCoelho51 May.Coelho (@MayCoelho51) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport @Microsoft so after all this time still nothing was done about my problem. To make things worse EVERY FREAKING DAY I get an email from SKYPE saying that my subscription was/will be cancelled or expired due to payment problems. REALLY!? Isn't it enough?!

  • MayCoelho51 May.Coelho (@MayCoelho51) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport @Microsoft I don't think it's fair I'm being treated like a hostage of a service you don't let me use. I will be charged monthly on my credit card while I can't even open my Skype account. I want a resolution and not more forms to fill. Been there, done that

  • dnl020 The digital (@dnl020) reported

  • steve_magruder Steve **ONLY 70% OF KY ADULTS VAXXED?!!** Magruder (@steve_magruder) reported

    How come @Skype doesn't know about or has fixed the longstanding issue of their tray icon disappearing in Windows 10? Old unfixed bugs piss me off.

  • MaksimKonoplya2 Maksim Konoplyanko (@MaksimKonoplya2) reported

    @Skype help me close my account. My number has changed and I can’t log on and I’m being charged 2.99 for a subscription.

  • BrandiMaroney SHOELADY101 (@BrandiMaroney) reported

    @Skype I am having the worst experience with Skype… I have canceled payment and subscriptions and yet I’m still charge… And can’t get into my account and no one will help me!

  • JustinMac_84 Justin Macleod (@JustinMac_84) reported

    @WilfSplodNokit @Angua3Carrot @Skype I submitted feedback and they offered me an article to check. Trouble-shooting consisted of check internet connection, check you're signed in, check notification settings, restart skype. 🙄I've done all that, keyboard navigation definitely broken.

  • WilfSplodNokit Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    @JustinMac_84 Are you another one who had their @Skype broken by that stupid company who doesn't understand access for screen reader users?

  • Nacken000 Näcken (@Nacken000) reported

    @Skype You guys ever going to fix the fact that we can't use video calls? After the billions of updates, you broke everything on the android app. How do you screw up this badly when you're a multi-billion dollar company?
