Editors’ Notes
From the new baby to the latest sales figures, Skype makes sharing our big news better. Anyone can start calling, texting and video-conferencing—or even dialing landlines—thanks to the intuitive design. With zillions of Skype users to connect to, it’s one of the most useful apps on our iPhone and Apple Watch.
Skype credit problem
I loaded my Skype with £10 credit to make important texts to my family. But nothing was loaded into my account. Trying to phone Skype is impossible. So not user friendly there for a start. Texting a customer advisor was the other option. But a customer advisor can only help you to the extent what tools the employer provides them to help. I this case it was none what so ever. I was told they was unable to provide me with emergency credit and when I asked if I would be compensated for this 24 hr ongoing issue so far, I had no answer for that again. It is sad when such a big company can not help out its customers in a way that they should be helped and answered for monies they have paid and prompt service they should be give. I appreciate there are technical difficulties. But the provider should compensate Skype and Skype should compensate its customers even if its a £5.00 to say sorry for an on going 24 hr issue so far
Great
I have to be honest with myself that this was the best time of year for my kids and my family and my friends and my friends and my friends to have fun with because they are all in school together I am very happy that they have been together and that I have a good time and that they have the same birthday and I have been so blessed and happy to be together and that is a great gift for them to be able and I love them to the absolute most but they do have their flaws but they don’t want them in my family they don’t know what to think of them because I know that they’re not happy with their life so they have been very much like I don’t think I am very much of it was a very hard decision that they have to do with their parents that is what I’m very sad to see you and I’m sorry for your parents are so sad to hear about the kids and I’m so very proud that they have been so very sorry that they have been very much in
