absolutely useless absolute thieves. they will block brand new accounts as soon as it's funded. do not deposit to your skype credits or buy subscriptions from them as your money will be wasted.

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.

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.

Skype is great product for audio calls Skype is great product for audio calls when the group of participants is not too large otherwise its gives audio voice issues. It is an average for video communications. Skype works nice for one to one communication but bad for more number of participants.

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.
