Skype is a Microsoft-owned app that provides video calling services to customers around the world. While it is one of the earliest and best-known video calling applications, Skype does not, in fact, offer phone-based customer support for its consumer service. Only Skype for Business accounts have the option of calling Skype customer support.
People contact Skype customer support for a range of reasons, including:
Skype does not provide phone-based customer support. If you are having issues with your Skype service, you'll need to connect with customer service either through the app or Skype's website. Once you are on the customer service page, you'll have to indicate the issue via an interactive menu. From there, you'll be given tips to resolve your problem, with the option of connecting with Skype via live chat.
Many customers who depend on Skype for communication are unhappy with the company's decision to not provide phone-based customer support. Still, they are able to connect with customer service agents via online chat, and many people who use Skype are satisfied with this option.
Because Skype offers digital services, its customer service representatives are able to resolve most issues over the phone. These include problems with using the service, including technical problems within the app, poor connections, and billing issues.
Skype customer service cannot resolve incompatibilities between its app and your computer, mobile device, or other equipment. If you find that an incompatibility exists, you will have to replace, update or repair your device.
Similarly, if you are using Skype with other applications, such as a call recording service, a Skype agent generally will not be able to provide assistance. You'll have to work with the technical support team that services the third-party application.
Note: Suspect that your Skype account has been hacked, take action immediately. Change your password if you still can, let Skype know what happened via live chat. If your credit card information has been compromised, contact your bank immediately.
Since it isn't possible to call Skype, you will need to use its live chat option to connect with a customer service representative. If your communication does not provide you with an acceptable resolution, there are still things you can do to get a question answered or issue addressed.
You came here to see Skype's phone number, the real-time current wait on hold and a way to skip right through the phone lines to get right to a Skype agent.
