May i speak with a human being urgently

I now have three accounts with skype, two set up in an attempt to close the first. this is absolutely ridiculous.
there is no useful link to be reached on any of your pages, so i spent my day browsing, only to find out that a skype account cannot be closed! this is just so, so wrong, i never heard of anything like that from any other website. probably people don't protest because it just takes too long even to find the page where to protest!
i now understand that my login names will remain but i can delete personal information from profile and hide my screen name. still not sure how to do this in android, but in order to do it i'd have to have my passwords back, and there is no one there to help me get back my passwords!
i use skype sparingly so, one, i forget passwords and, two, i close email accounts. Both these things have happened now, so i tried to guess what my last email address was, and your website tells me that if i did not purchase any credit recently, then even this cannot be traced!
how dare you. how dare you have such fraudulent settings. i don't buy credit because the last time i put credit into my phone and used skype there were no less than 5 pound sterling flying out the window over night and i have no idea where they went and why!
and now, ask me why i want to close my skype accounts...
your defaults are set to Public, so anyone registering in their real name have their name instantly advertied in the "public domain" from where a pornographic website somehow manages to pick up my name and automatically generate a page with embarassing adverts on. this comes up in google searches set to Moderate content so anyone can google my name and see this. as it happens, i am an art historian and this is deeply insulting.
it appears only the seventh down on the list, as my name is rather unique! not many people may have noticed, assuming that it's all about somebody else with the same name.
it's not my job to sort this out with google, on the ridiculous screen of a mobile and with no desktop computer at home. all i need is to close any account, which has thrown my name on the public domain, and this page disappears in only three days from all the searches.
can a support administrator contact me urgently. mon.om

 Dear mon_om,
Skype Premium subscribers are eligible for live chat customer support; a "Day Pass" may also be purchased.  Here is a link to start with: Skype Premium
 The above is outdated information and is no longer relevant as of December 2014.
Regarding your observation that Skype privacy settings default to "public": this is not limited to Skype.  I find most, if not all, website account default settings are set to public, receive e-mail from all 3rd party advertising or marketing "partners," etc.  I am constantly monitoring my accounts to ensure they remain "locked down" and private.  I am not defending these policies; I agree with you.
Please understand that it is not Skype's fault that when you added credit to your account, using a wireless hand-held device or smart phone, some malcontent may have happened to be within short distance of your device and either watched you input the details or used a listening device to steal your log-in details.  IMHO, I would never, ever trust a wireless device as secure or encrypted regarding financial transactions.  Period.  I would strongly recommend you use a computer on a secured network to purchase anything.
In the case of a forgotten password, or other matters requiring contact with Skype Customer Service, Skype defined certain parameters to verify an accountholder's identity and to prove ownership of an account.  More details here: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA109/I-ve-for​gotten-my-password
With all due respect, maintaining our privacy and the integrity of all of our accounts and records as well as our on-line "presence" has become a part-time job for all of us.
Sincerely,
[Removed for privacy]

  • I need a phone number to speak with a human being.

    Does anyone know how I can find a phone number to speak with a real live human being about a software purchase which I've paid for but can't download because they say I haven't provided proof that I'm a teacher (which I have already uploaded twice). I'm so frustrated!!! Trying to be nice and reasonable is getting harder and harder.

    Uploading photos and videos taken on your iPhone to your computer should be quite straightforward. You simply attach your iPhone to the computer with the USB cable that came with your iPhone. The computer should recognize your iPhone as a camera and start its photo handling software.
    There are instructions on exactly how to do this for the PC and Mac here:

  • How do I speak with a human being at Adobe?

    I have been trying to get help with a problem.  I cannot get Photoshop 12 to work on my Windows 7 computer.  I have spent many hours going around in circles and keep winding up in places like this, which I tried yesterday with no luck.  I believe that there must be a simple solution, but I cannot get to anyone who can help me.  There are no telephone numbers or email addresses that I can find in the Contact Us section.  This should not be so difficult.

    I don't know what you tried yesterday but it doesn't appear to have been asking for help since this appears to be your very first posting here.  The same goes for the first responder to your post who appears to have only ever posted the one reply you received.  If you (both) have a problem that you need help with you need to provide the details of the problem so that either a solution can be provided or you can be directed to a better resource for help.
    It's unfortunate that the first responder didn't provide a phone number since there are mentions of phone calls being made, which is one way to talk to someone at Adobe - though it is not likely someone physically at the Adobe headquarters.  I don't know any phone numbers to hand out myself.
    Another option is to chat with someone.  There are different channels available for chat depending on what your problem is.  If one of the following looks like a match for your issue then give it a try.  If none do, then try describing your issue(s) and maybe someone can help.

  • Has anyone else managed to speak to a human being in the App Review team

    I have had my app rejected twice on the basis that they think all the functionality can be incorporated in an epub format even though the epub format explicitly can't support what my app does. But every time I try and contact the team, it is only allowed via email (with very long waits for responses) and I just a standard script response, e.g
    "2.21: Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes store. Apps that are simply a book should be submitted to the iBookstore".
    Even when I appealed I just got the same script back and I keep being told that I can't talk to a human being.
    Has anyone actually managed to speak to a member of staff in the App Review Team and could you give me some advice as to how I can do this. The process has been dragging on and all I need is a 10-minute discussion with a human being,
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Thanks KT.
    I did get a phone call after a few days and it did end up as a useful conversation.
    I do think though that there should be contact numbers so that developers can actually ring a named individual in the App Review Team. I was really surprised that the Apple switchboard said that they were unable to connect incoming callers to specific teams or members of staff. As a Customer Service experience it seems pretty poor.
    Anyway, the member of staff in the Review Team was helpful and we are making some of the suggested changes and resubmitting the App.
    In terms of ePub functionality, it actually can't do everything the App can do as there is no way within an ePub of changing navigation based on whether you are using an iPhone or iPad. There are a lot of things you can do (in fact you can build an HTML5 app within an ePub if you want) but whether an ePub format is appropriate for all the things you can do is another matter. That is a discussion for another day ...

  • I want to speak to a human being not a machine...

    I`ve just about given up, this my last resort.
    How do I get to speak to a "human being" at BT in the UK (not a call centre, I can`t understand a word they are saying........)
    I`ve been on their website and that does not help whatsoever.
    I have an enquiry about an unrecognised outgoing number on my telephone bill.
    . . . it must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship. Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them.

    I understand your frustration about wanting to speak to a human .... been there myself !
    However, regarding your "enquiry" about a logged outgoing phone number ....
    Even if you did manage to get somebody  ... I doubt very much whether they would be able to help you much,
    other than to say ... yep, you made the call, or nope ... you didn't .... but probably the former, as it's all automatic, with no human intervention.  
    Been there as well ....  

  • HT204088 how on earth can I speak to a human being?

    I want to speak with a rep about my billing history.  Now, not tomorrow, or next week.  I've already wasted 45 minutes of my life getting to this stage.  Email me a direct customer service phone number, thank you.
    It shouldn't be this complicated!
    I am frustrated enough to give up being an apple customer.  This is mind numbing!!!!!
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
    You can contact iTunes Support via this link : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption, and chose one of the contact methods that show on that screen.

    We're all just users here like you.  It's also a very bad idea to post personal info like your phone number on a public board like this.  (I've referred this post to a Moderator to have it edited out for your security)

  • Can I please communicate with a human being in New Delhi, India to set up the CC ASAP at my film school? Give me a working phone number in reply. I cannot do this on the web site.

    The numbers listed at adobe.com/in are both completely non-functional. I have a number of questions to ask before we subscribe to the CC for multiple users for our educational institution - among them ways to pay. I cannot get in touch with a real person on line or off line... can someone in sales in New Delhi or Noida contact me at [email protected]?

    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Here is a slightly annotated version of the instruction to file your request with Skype Customer Service, and to receive a reply via e-mail. 
    How can I contact Skype Customer Service?
    Skype offers help and support through:
    The Skype Support website
    The Skype Community
    The Heartbeat blog
    Skype blogs
    Email and Live chat (for eligible customers)
    To get help with the issue you’re experiencing:
    Go to the Support request page.  You will be asked to sign on to the Skype website at this step.
    Select the topic you need help with and the problem you’re experiencing. ... or the closest topic which matches your enquiry.  Some information that might help with your problem is displayed.  These are the FAQ articles pulled from the library for your review.
    If you still feel that the information doesn’t help, scroll down to the bottom of the website page and click the Continue support request button at the bottom of the screen.  This is what the "button" looks like; the button, below, is not a hyperlink.
    Select your contact method. (We recommend that you check our Skype Community first. No need to circle back here, as the Community is where you started!)
    If you chose email, enter your details, describe your problem, and then click Send support request. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.
    We don’t currently provide telephone support.

  • Is there any way to speak to a human being at Firefox concerning an unresolved loading issue?

    I need to S P E A K to a technical person to resolve an issue that has been preventing updating downloads. Your suggestions have all been faithfully followed and have done N O T H I N G to resolve the problem

    Presumably, you're trying to update to v4.0.1. It has proved to be problematical for some people.
    If that is indeed the case, please follow these steps.<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>

  • How do I get my bookmarks back and can I speak with a person?

    I upgraded Firefox and now I cannot get to my bookmarks. Much of my work is in that list. When I click on bookmarks, it asks me to "sign in" to access my google bookmarks. I'm already signed in and still, no access! Can I speak with a human who can help me through this? Are there humans at the other end of a phone who work and trouble shoot issues like this?

    See [[/questions/875112]]
    Google has changed the domain for signing in to accounts.google.com and the Google toolbar is still using the old and longer working www.google.com/accounts domain.
    You will have to update that domain yourself by editing a file used by the Google Toolbar.
    *Go to the extension folder in the Firefox profile folder and find the folder with the Google Toolbar
    *Open up lib\toolbar.js with a plain text editor
    *Replace: www.google.com/accounts with accounts.google.com

    You should not need to have special IP address configurations to manage your devices and software. You can do this in the private network offered by any router, provided all devices being managed are behind that router. If for some reason you need a static IP on the network (such as for the server itself), then you can delegate one to the server in your router, but you dont need a special public IP address configuration from your ISP to set this up and make use of it.
