If I could give zero I would If I could give zero I would. You pay money into your account to make calls when travelling. You return to your account to see what balance you have, lo and behold the balance is zero and you have NO WAY of finding out where it has gone. These people are thieves. Don't waste your money on this rubbish, use another voip app. The only reason I used it in the first place was that the people I wanted to contact were on it. Nope, Nope, No!

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.

LGBTQ HARRASSEMENT LGBTQ: stop harrassing me and others on Skype for invites to chat! This morning when I jumpstarted my PC, there was an invitation to join this group. I do not want to hear from depraved individuals, leave me alone, you should be sued for breaking into my private page - all of you! Go spread your brand of filth elsewhere!

interface to improve The windows interface of Skype is a nightmare. Everytime I spend a few dozen seconds to find the dialpad. Useless options like The "meet now" and "Get your skype number" which I will never use are really to invasive. It's not the cheaper voip call application but the call quality is usually good

Good for audio calls I'm satisfied with the quality of audio calls. I don't use video though. Skype comes in handy if you have a remote job and need to collaborate with your colleagues. As for other purposes, the features may not be enough. For example, if I was giving private or group classes, I would probably prefer a video conferencing platform instead. But it's up to you, I remember Skype language lessons were extremely popular before the pandemic. Anyway, what you definitely can't do on Skype is send large files. There's a limit of 300MB.
