Update, 0825 UTC: Problems fixed; services recovering now.

Update, 0800 UTC: If you’re signed in to Skype, you can continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls, send and receive IMs and transfer files as normal.

Our sincere apologies — we’re having some system problems which mean that calls to landlines and mobiles, sending SMSs and incoming calls to your Skype online number, may not work as expected.

You may also have trouble signing in to Skype both in the software and on the website.

Our teams are working as fast as they can to sort things out. I’ll update this post as soon as I have more news.
