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.

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.

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?

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.

Since trustpilot removed my last honest… Since trustpilot removed my last honest review of skype I refer readers to their overal rating, less than two stars. You see microsoft that owns skype is too powerful for a little place like sitejabber to publish negative reviews even if they are true. Likely to be my last review on this site, not an honest site,imo. And they want to track and ID you because you cannot post without logging into your personal email. Try sitejabber, much better.
