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?

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.

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.

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.
