Skype

I stopped using Skype a few years ago and this is why. I was getting one friend request after another from these so called women that kept sending me links to join porn websites. Blocking and reporting was not working as they just kept on coming. Read the Skype forum and other people were having these same issues but staff weren't listening and only closed the threads. In the end I got so annoyed and fed up with it, I quit Skype.

Terrible IM program unreliable. Cannot change computers-you will not be able to login. If you travel you skype will be unavailable to you since they automatically identify you as a hacker and block your account. Spy on your chat and will delete your account for promoting other im programs. Corrupt, incompetent company with bad user interface and poor support.

Skype is valuable in business, It permits individuals to work from the home, it has numerous accommodating highlights including bunch video considering that saves a great deal of movement time and cash for the organizations, organizations can speak with associates, and it assists the organizations with conveying bunch gatherings from better places.
Easy to use.
Easy maintenance.
Easy to connect to another person.

Positive reviews must be from skype employees or those who use it on one device only and are technically ignorant.

Skype is basically spyware. It spies on your browser activity, recording and tracing it while u use skype instant messaging.

Run by microsuck they will delete your account for criticizing them in your private skype messages.

Slow to load and sign in. Frequent login problems. Cannot change devices or account will be blocked-another spyware feature.

Try line. It's better. In fact there are many IM programs that are better than skype.

I remember in the begining...
These Skype ONLY webcams...
Boi oh boi did i get ripped of by Skype Hype
I never liked it and or the idea of it.
Now though, i can accept the idea,
But again. It won't offer canadian numbers
And is an app only call thing. So wifi needed.
Textnow does the same for free. And offers Service providing for around 20~40$ so...
Just sad they also are not in canada yet id pick it up over my landline
But skype to me. Remains just an overhyped brand like facebook.
It was indeed the one that launched the whole crave so ill give it credit to that

Is it just me? I've scoured the skype website to see if I can chat or call support and can find nothing. Every time I try to weave my way through the "Contact us" category to an actual person I end up back in the same Groundhog day of their virtual agent trying to guess(badly) at what my problem is. It SHOULD NOT BE THIS HARD. I ordered a monthly international credit for 200 minutes to Nicarague, assuming this would be more or less a 30 day thing, for $30. Turns our it expired at the end of THAT month... 3 days later. It also never worked. I'm trying to call to rectify the situation and it seems impossible. If anyone knows the fast track will you please share it with me?

I needed to switch my phone supplier as Skype did not integrate with my new CRM and it did not work most of the time either (they blamed my WiFi, but all other communication systems work fine).

I followed the full switching procedure several times together with the new telecoms provider but Skype have been extremely unhelpful, refusing to provide the details we need, leaving us to have to keep guessing and use trial & error.

After nearly 6 months of trying to get this resolved, I have had to cancel the Skype contract and lose the phone number too. Not ideal for my business, but I cannot spend any more time chasing them up.

When you need to contact them, it takes a significant amount of time waiting in queues and then waiting for each response as the support operators assist multiple people at a time. They then never get back to you when they promise (despite telling them I don't believe they will get back to me - they insisted they definitely will and make promises which they inevitably always break).

Taking this service has been a big mistake.

Like everything else they touch microsuck ruined skype. It's hacked, u cannot maintain the same id/account. It's slow as molasses and they are dishonest, charging me for phone credits I did not approve after lying that they would not be imposed for several weeks. Bunch of wankers, I hope they are getting good salaries for their scam product. There is no limit what people will do to keep a job, they will work for liars and scammers and pretenders. U cannot keep the same skype id if you change computers without going through a bunch of bureaucratic crap verification procedures that usually fail. Their interface is very user unfriendly and you must stumble around wasting a lot of time trying to figure out how their crap program works or doesn't. Hopefully Trump will break up some of these consumer abusive companies, and now would not be anytime too soon. Started by a thief, billy boy gates and descending into a big incompetent company that, after years and years STILL cannot produce a good OS and is becoming more and more abusive with its totalitarian spying on your net activities. Really, these people should be in prison, not making money on the net. Sitejabber must be in cahoots with MS, since you cannot use a proxy to post here and you must enable javascript so they can track and profile you and maybe even ID you.

Skype is such a cornerstone of online communication nowadays that it's almost entirely useless to write a review for it. Everyone knows about it. That is why it's completely buffling that for the last several months Skype completely neglected the ever-worsening problem with its mobile app for Android. Put it simply - it doesn't work. Constantly crashing mid action, drops calls, and randomly shuts down. Worst of all, the issue is not being publically adressed by the company on the forums. Whatsapp's announced video calling feature can't get here soon enough.

I use Skype pretty much every day. When I turn video on, sometimes the voice and movie doesnt come together. Its not always though its frustrating. But I like the message icon. Its so cute.
