What happened to Skype? This used to be a well functioning phone app that was a reasonably priced alternative worldwide when other phone services failed. Now it seems to be a Social Media wannabe that can't place a phone call. You can't even edit a contact entry. If MS wants to get into the Social Media game why didn't you just create an app instead of ruining this one? Weren't apps your core business?

Disgusted If it weren't for my job requiring the use Skype, I would stop using it FOREVER. You repeatedly ban and block accounts without any valid reason. I attempted to reach out to the chat support, but they claimed it wasn't their department. Despite filling out forms and sending emails over the past 3 months, I have NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE RESPONSE. I have thoroughly reviewed your policy, and I am not violating any terms. No contacts are being added, no bulk messaging, no spam, and no scams are involved. Despite creating new accounts, you persistently ban me. Yesterday, I wasn't even using Skype when you blocked me again. You must stop relying on bots; Hire more humans; there's NO ONE to contact about the issue. The chat support is utterly USELESS, to say the least. They disregard the problem description, respond with copy-and-paste messages, avoid my questions, and purposefully miss the point. It's like talking in a loop, repeatedly explaining the same thing to someone who isn't reading anyway. Frankly, I am embarrassed for you.

Utter crap platform/service....wholly… Utter crap platform/service....wholly useless,in too many ways to mention! But one has to wonder about the HR professionals ability to recruit people who can design/service such software/app.Given up on it.

I just downloaded the new version and didn't like it. I just downloaded the new version, December 2023, version 8.11. I use Skype daily and I'm largely happy with it but this new version promptly changed my name and my Skype ID and lost the funds I have against my account. Fortunately it installed alongside the old version so I was able to uninstall it promptly and revert to the more reliable older version. Stop trying to improve something that's fine as it is.

Don't by skype credit, it's a scam I bought skype credit today. My credit card balance was charged, but skype mobile app show processing... then it got error and no credit added to my Skype account. Also, there's no way to content Skype's support. No email, no hotline and online help page is just like FAQ which just say check the payment, check the balance blah blah blah... I found no way to get my money back nor get the credit that I bought.
