I guess its time to give other players a try and see how they fare:

Someone recommended me a US based company, called, DAMAKA. I downloaded their app yesterday and it has worked out really well for me. I have friends and business contacts in other parts of the world… so we needed to move on to some other app… damaka’s the one for me!

I have almost 75% of my buddies moved over to damaka…. except a few die-hard skype lovers, they all love this app. It has all the feature you will need at-work or at-home…

You’re spot on with the Skype boggle. Their lack of transparency should be a chapter in a book on poor customer communication practices. Why on earth will it take until Monday for them to offer a clear explanation?

I’ve also had people tell me that I shouldn’t complain about something that’s free. That’s a very weak argument. After all, I don’t pay for the air I breath yet I have the right to complain about pollution.

In any case, here’s the latest theory on why Skype failed:

We have lost the ability to use Skype in the middle of august having used it successfully for 3 years.
After numerous emails back and forth, Skype still cannot resolve the problem of not being able to speak or be be heard normally as before. Sending SMS is OK, dialing works but can take up to 30 seconds to connect, voice conversation is very delayed, echos and indecipherable robot like.
Now it appears that Skype have given up with us.
