PLEASE SKYPE!!! MICROSOFT!! DON`T CLOSE SKYPE ON 3...

It is really unfair and sad.
I have been using skype on 3uk for more than 2 years and It was promissed to be free forever/
But now SKYPE!! MICROSOFT!!!! is going to close the service!! that it was promised to be free forever. Now i will have to use standard skype at the mobile that charges the data and the 3g quality is not very good.
Adverts are always lies, skype forever free...lies....
I am going to unsubscribe from my premium account with Skype.

I am also not happy about this. Three are blaming Microsoft, but it should be fairly simple to allow the Skype app to be unmetered and work even on pay as you go but for all other internet traffic to be charged in the usual way on the Three Network.

    Hello, Dr.Cely28, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, confirming many such scams and schemes are circulating around the internet.  It seems no legitimate business is immune from being spoofed.  If in doubt, always contact the company's customer service team to investigate.
    One of my other favourite places to check the veracity of these claims - some of which are beyond extraordinary! - is www.snopes.com They do a fabulous job of tracking urban legends and other ridiculousness.

  • Public Information on Skype/Microsoft Merger Windo...

    Why is it that I can't edit on my profile what Skype deems "Public Information", which I deem private, to private or only visible for my contacts, like on Facebook, with a drop-down box, such as my gender, birthday date, city I come from etc...? Also why is it that ALL contacts are allowed to see your home or mobile numbers? Shouldn't they also have a drop-down box so that I am able to mark that as private. I should have the right to decide and to choose what to do with this confidential information. Otherwise I won't add in this information on my profile, as I don't feel that the service is now fully secure with my details. 
    I am sure others feel the same. 
    Kind Regards

    Hi, SelMaca, and welcome to the Community!
    You may find it surprising that I agree with you!  I have very few "pet peeves" with Skype; however I, too, wish Skype would enable users to determine for themselves what personal information is viewable as public, contacts-only, or private.  Maybe in a future edition.  For the time being, I leave all settings as blank or not specified.
    Best regards,

  • I DON'T WANT SKYPE FULL SCREEN

    How do I get it off full screen!?

    I'm very disappointed -- this solution is no longer viable. I just received an e-mail from Skype (pasted below) saying that the desktop version isn't going to work anymore starting next week. I use Skype for work and often have to keep Word and Excel documents open at the same time; I downloaded the desktop version because I'm not able to do that with the silly Windows 8 app that opens full screen. I know it's not Skype's fault that Windows 8 is so horrible, but they don't need to take away the solution to the problem by deactivating the desktop version. Please don't deactivate it! Here's the e-mail I received.  
    It looks like you’ve signed into two Skype for Windows apps ‒ Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for modern Windows ‒ on your Windows 8 device.
    We’re simplifying your experience down to one app that you can use either with your mouse and keyboard or with touch. Going forward you’ll only need to use the Skype for Windows desktop app. This app has more features to help you stay connected like screen sharing and group video calling. Also, your chat conversations (from the last 30 days) and all your contacts will appear as normal.
    Note: From 7 July, 2015 you’ll no longer be able to sign into the Skype for modern Windows app.You are misreading it by 180 degrees.  It clearly states that it is the Skype for modern Windows app that is retiring not the Skype for Windows Desktop app.  

  • Have Microsoft password but need SKYPE password to...

    Hi It seems my skype account got hacked. as I have a strange email as main email in my account.
    So I went on and changed my password ( Microsoft password) and wanted to updated and delete the wrong information in my skype account.  But the skype system requires me to now log on with my SKYPE PASSWORT not my Microsoft password.  But evidently I forgot it or the hacker changed it.
    Creating a new account is not an option for me as I use the number for business and its on many handed out name cards.
    How can I change my SKYPE password in this case?
    How can I secure the money which is in the account?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Merge 1 microsoft account with 2 skype accounts

    Hi 
    I have my main microsoft account and 2 skype accounts (personal and work)  and I beleive what I want to achieve is in the interest of both me and microsoft but I have not seen a solution for this
    My question is this:
    Is there any plans to be able to merge 1 microsoft account with multiple skype accounts?
    Idealy this would mean that I could have 1 central profile (Microsoft) 
    and depending if I was at work or at home I could sign in with my respective skype accounts and have different skype friends lists. Without an easy way of doing this I will not be able to get rid of redundant information.
    A great feature addition to this would be that anyone that requested me to add them , If I had the accounts merged under 1 MS account, I could get an option to that skype profile I would add them (all, personal or work)

    (un)fortunately microsoft is not google and doesn't want any kind of single sign in as it seems, there is no way to do this, you have to make login-logout fests.

  • Using skype to canada... firefox cuts me offor closes skype..........why?

    only happens when I skype family in Canada...starts telling me poor signal then it seems to close skype down and tell me I am off line........
    Dont have a problem with skype within the UK
    This problem started in the last 8 weeks...

    I would suspect that your Anti-Virus application blocked that download. Have you tried downloading it using IE?
    As far as Firefox and Skype, Firefox doesn't "use" Skype, and Skype doesn't need Firefox to work. But there is a problem with the '''Skype Toolbar extension for Firefox''' causing all sorts of problems for many Firefox users. Currently the Skype extension is '''blocklisted''' by Mozilla due to all the crashes is it responsible for in 3.6.13 and the 4.0betas. <br />
    http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/01/20/blocking-the-skype-toolbar-in-firefox/ <br />
    Fifth on the Blocklist. <br />
    https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ <br />
    That extension has a long history with causing problems in Firefox. <br />

  • Cannot close skype network connection

    i do not appear to be able to close skype's network connection.
    i log off from skype yet under control panel/network connections skype connection shows as active and locked, i appear to not have relevant permissions to shut down the connection as it was created by someone other than the admin (me)
    im so not happy about the situation that i choise to uninstal skype as a las resort to remove the connection and will not choose to reinstal at any time in the future if this is not resolved.
    i see no reason for the connection to remain beyond the operation of the skype programme
    can anyone assist with advice on how to close the connection without having to resort to an uninstal?

    Check the following to verify your AirPort configuration:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

    I don't understand all can somebody email me an answer and solution
    Thank you
    My email is. [e-mail removed for privacy and security]

    Hi, C43, and welcome to the Community,
    Skype does not permit the transfer of credit, subscriptions, or features from one account to another.  Cancel or request a refund of credit on an account you do not wish to use it, and purchase new credit and subscriptions for the account where you will use it.
    That said, just to add a note of clarification: I trust you know that you can use the same Skype account on any platform or operating system where Skype is available.  A Skype account can "travel" with you if you sign on from computer or a mobile device.
    Regards,
    Elaine
