  • Scarfey88 B S (@Scarfey88) reported

    @Skyebaby8Susan @andr3wmorton @edinburghpaper They clarified this morning nurseries are included in the lock down. Unfortunately pre schoolers can’t be looked after via Skype so it’s back to trying to work and childcare concurrently...

  • ActaNon67624162 ActaNonVerba (@ActaNon67624162) reported

    @FactTank Yea. No kidding! I'm overseas & calling people in the US but bc I'm using Skype or a PAYG service (varies country to country) ppl don't answer bc they don't recognize the number. Hey, answer the damn phone! If you don't like what you hear, hang up! Easy-peasy. Don't be scared.

  • _Jah_Kno_Star Lost and Confused. (@_Jah_Kno_Star) reported

    Me really refuse fa believe Skype/Avast unnecessary browser is what was holding me back from fixing this issue

  • SquidClaude Squiddy (@SquidClaude) reported

    @DrLMRobinson yeah, how am i meant to skype message "no he didn't he's lying, X did that" to my supervisor about my idiot man colleague when he once again tries to bs his way out of trouble

  • Laura722 Laura (@Laura722) reported

    I totally forgot about the extended promo after they didn't upload it last night. Looks good, but I can't help but be disappointed that Sami is going to find out about Allie's **** over Skype or whatever. #Days

  • 0x09F9 Cris (@0x09F9) reported

    Two different routers plugged into the same @MediacomCable cable. Same symptoms. IP for 20 seconds, then no more IP, only L3. Support has so far blamed this on everything that's not a problem in @MediacomCable's IP network. Sorry mom. No @Skype for COVID-Christmas.

  • NinjaGrumps Bubbles 🖤🤍💜 (@NinjaGrumps) reported

    Hey @Skype fix your app cuz it’d crashing on @_GrumpyNSP_ and I

  • brianfharrison Brian F. Harrison, (Ph.D. but not doctor?) 🏳️‍🌈 (@brianfharrison) reported

    Dear @MicrosoftHelps: I can't login to my Skype account and when I try, it says it will send an email to reset my password. No email arrives. When I try to do chat help to speak to a person, I have to login first... but I can't do that... because, that's my problem. Help?!!?

  • MarkSlapinski Mark Slapinski Journalist (@MarkSlapinski) reported

    I'm looking to cover the protest at @PeelPolice HQ, could any of the community members or members from @MaltonMovement talk to me on Skype for 5 - 10 mins? I think I can help you out. #DefundthePolice #Malton

  • MarkSlapinski Mark Slapinski Journalist (@MarkSlapinski) reported

    I'm looking to cover the protest at @PeelPolice HQ, could any of the community members or members from @MaltonMovement let me interview them on Skype for 5 - 10 mins? I'll use it in a video. I think I can help you out. #DefundthePolice #Malton

  • loulauder loulou66 3.5% (@loulauder) reported

    @EleanorRylance If we are in lockdown they will need to negotiate via Zoom/ Skype etc. This last minute change will just run the clock down and either leave with no deal or extend the transition period or cancel altogether

  • GoddessVickyCat Goddess Vicky Cat 😼 (@GoddessVickyCat) reported

    I’d love to choke a beta down til I maxed out its credit card then spit on its face to let it know its useless after that. No money = useless Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE

  • conga_gone Blue Steve (@conga_gone) reported

    @KlotzBets If her family can't understand that's their problem not hers or yours. If they want to gather so badly, let one of them host. It's better to forgo it this year so the gathering next year can include everyone and be bigger and better. There is always zoom or Skype or FaceTime.

  • RushinOnYT rUsHiNNnnN (@RushinOnYT) reported

    @mohashdefat @JakeSucky some skype messages phantomlord sent to his site developer in order to help rig huge jackpots for content (might be slightly wrong, it's been a while)

  • jd_jdwhite01 JDWhite (@jd_jdwhite01) reported

    @99freemind Photoshop isnt good for direct print output. I can help troubleshoot your issue if you need help. Feel free to DM me, or share email, skype, text etc.

  • kajstrife kaj (@kajstrife) reported

    @BitchassMcGrass maybe computer manufacturers are paying Discord, Spotify, Steam, Skype, NordVPN, uTorrent, Blizzard, Origin, and Twitch to clog up memory at login so people think their computer is broken so they buy a new one

  • FernMoniz Fernando (@FernMoniz) reported

    @SkypeSupport My phone does not display the callers, once I move them to top-right corner. Only says +3...if three extra callers. I tried to uninstall and install several times. Please help... I tried with an older version ... same problem. Help !!!

  • dakota_skyexxx dakota_skyexxx ⭐️ incorporated ⭐️ top . 89% on OF (@dakota_skyexxx) reported

    All I need for Xmas is a new laptop- and anyone who wants to buy an Skype show I can do it on my phone - or custom to help.... or donate or even buy me an Xmas gift. I’d be forever grateful.

  • Orkneywren Rhona King (@Orkneywren) reported

    @JoBo1806 Does using Skype/zoom or whatever help? Just have them there to chat while you do daily stuff may help. We're planning family bingo nights in the weeks ahead.

  • hhhenrymercury hhhenrymercury (@hhhenrymercury) reported

    @fixyfics The way Sydney is going we r also gonna be shut down by Christmas,, just skype me boo

  • izzybelle1964 💥 Cheating in not Winning 💥 (@izzybelle1964) reported

    @RaheemKassam I was always intrigued by the sudden popularity of zoom during Covid lockdown. Whatever happened to Skype? Zoom basically came out of nowhere and were how businesses small to large continued to operate during the shut down, so who knows what the CCP learned while easedropping...

  • gingylau laura. (@gingylau) reported

    @dtConfect I completely and utterly agree, I know it's nowhere near the same, could you Skype your parents? Something better than nothing I guess. Boris couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery let alone the country 🙄 anything I can help with give me a shout.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @britandjack i prefer to make fun of how slow it is and have a "not that upset" low grade moan and an excuse not to do zoom or skype. People are far too solution-focussed these days. I prefer to live in the problem and laugh at my predicament

  • Noname75126589 Christopher (@Noname75126589) reported

    @iamtkiam @CheriDiNovo Bro no is out here physically forcing you to stay away from immediate family and to follow the procedure. I'm have a Skype call with grandparents because I still want to see them and they need to see me. I mentioned where it is really new years that is the problem. know your data

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • vivjones10 Viv Jones (@vivjones10) reported

    @CStewartSHS Terrible year. Perhaps if you plan Xmas dinners for the same time you could join together via Skype. Can’t pull the crackers together but you could share the jokes. It will be a different Christmas for many but for many no change. So many people on their own. X

  • lauralarmo Laura Larmo (@lauralarmo) reported

    @catherine_mayer @O2 Do you use Skype? Can that be used for that kind of customer service calls?

  • BellaNutella9 BellaNutella (@BellaNutella9) reported

    @sturdyAlex We’re quite lucky in that I’m a scientist so I’ve been preparing my family for a Skype Christmas since summer, but I am so angry for all the people who Johnson mislead with his false hope. You need to be able to trust the prime minister and he’s let the country down so so badly🤬

    **** you and your problems. Give Me the money and go away. Nothing gets you off than a bratty asian girl flipping you off and telling you to **** off. I deserve it all: $YourMoneyIsMine69 💵 Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE
