It used to be a really good app It used to be a really good app, but the moment it became a part of Microsoft everything went wrong. First the interface, which is unbearable, then weird policies like security policy which no-one can understand and lastly user management, where you never know if you are looking in your phone book and looking for a Skype user ... Relatively simple and easy task, isn't it? But Microsoft (again) made it totally wrong - like everything.

I keep going round in circles with… I keep going round in circles with passcodes and being able to put money on my account t9 use. I go through forgotten passcode. Then I cannot remember the old email address and it does not allow me to receive codes by my phone number as it loops me. Tel 07825 323 211

Customer Service Non-Existent I had a subscription to make unlimited calls to the US (landlines) for over 5 years and it worked perfectly until recently. The past few months I have been unable to connect to a US landline without any explanation or customer service help. Skype makes it impossible to get in contact with tech support and disconnect the service. I kept getting charged monthly for a service I am not able to use. So happy to finally cancel my subscription and go with another provider. Good riddance.

Poor customer support/do not use Skype unless you have to I have found Skype good until you have a problem and loose your account. It is impossible to get any useful help on their chat line or through recover your account. Customer support is useless and you loose your credit. I have spent over eight hours trying to resolve this.

Microsoft Filth Skype gets worse day by day. The app UI is completely unusable. Call quality is terrible - even on the fastest connection. They are unable to notify you when credit gets low so you are just cut off when credit runs out. Lazy, filthy Microsoft scum are unable to think rationally or act decently.
