Skype problems today - now fixed

By My status Peter Parkes on September 11, 2008.

Between 09:46 GMT and 10:30 GMT, the following Skype features were down:
  • Signing in to Skype
  • Signing in to your account on the Skype website
  • Making calls using Skype credit (SkypeOut)
  • Skype personal online numbers (SkypeIn)
  • Buying Skype credit in Skype for Windows
  • Skype Auto Recharge
  • Recurring payments
  • The Skype store
  • Purchases in the Business Control Panel
The problems have been fixed and systems are being restored. Over the next hour or so, you may still encounter some problems using the features above. We're sorry for the pain this must have caused you, but we're happy to say that things should be back to normal very quickly indeed.
