Skype Focus Group

Are you new Skype user? If so then we need your help.

We are looking for a group of volunteers to take part in a focus group in the London area to help us make Skype even better, in return you’ll be reward with goodies for giving up your time.

To take part you need to be a fairly new user and only used Skype for a short time.

If you are interested in taking part, send an email to
“research ‘at’ skype.net” and they will get back to you with more details.

    Unfortunately I don’t live in London as I’d love to say a few things about your website. The VoIP technology is great but you really need to get a HCI person to look at the layout of your site. I’ve spent the last 20 mintues going around in circles trying to spend money with you.

  2. dvandreev said 2774 days ago

    It’s very nice idea. We hope it will make Skype Development more quicker and stable. We are interesting in help for Skype. If it’s possible we would try it too. But also we would like to know about all new features of future versions of Skype (also SkypeAPI). If you would have any ideas about us please contact me…

    I am a new Skype user, but unfortunately from India, I use Skpe quiet extensively, Its been a boon for me and my wife who is currently studying in Sanjose, Costa Rica. Though many people have heard about skype in India, I guess we need to spread more awarness. I would be happy to be a part of any feedback program.

    Hola:

    Compre el otro dia 10€ para usarlos en skypeout pero todavia no me han puesto el credito en mi cuenta. Me gustaria q alguien me indicase el tiempo q tardan en ponerlo, por q ya van cinco dias y no puedo realizar llamadas. Si alguien sabe donde tengo q mandar un correo para q me lo revisen se lo agradeceria.
    Por favor contestarme a mi cuenta de correo porq no se usar muy bien estas cosas y lo mas seguro es q no pueda ver las respuestas q me mandais.
    Mi correo es i.queipo@gmail.com

    Un saludo y gracias

    Hi, i’ve been introduced to skype just today, apparently some sort of webcast will be done with a few other people and skype was the option.

    Looks like a very easy way to talk to everyone.

  6. andywraith said 2765 days ago

    Hi, does skype do filesharing (not sending) and audio at the same time??

  7. chrischapman191 said 2760 days ago

    hi, i live in london and just started using skype myself. i have recently married a polish girl and we now use skype on a fairly regular basis to speak with her family and friends. although we both work long hours we would be interested in hearing more from you and also having our say. i am in the forces so would be interested in learning more from you as the british army seems to be decades behind in the use of voip

  8. asiaibob said 2760 days ago

    We too are an Anglo-polish couple but living in France. We are saving loads of money by using Skype to ring Poland over any other form of phone system. We even save money on ringing the UK too. We have a local website which first alerted me to Skype and now whenever we read about people wanting to know about phone systems we always suggest they look at Skype. We would also be happy to fill in surveys about this service

    Hi
    I like to be in the focus group but I live in Sweden. Is that a problem? I have recently bought a VoIP phone and it works great with Skype. I have friends in US and family members in Spain and Norway. Skype will definitely reduce the phone bill

  12. charlierichmond said 2754 days ago

    I’m in London!! And I sent an email asking to join the focus group (as requested ) but if I’m not chosen I’d like to say that the new ‘import contacts’ tool that scrapes the Outlook addressbook for names is fairly effective (finds a lot of bogus names though…) but it doesn’t pick up any phone numbers to add to skype out!!!

    In my case, this is a major omission since I import all my mobile phone numbers into that same addressbook as a backup/reload/update function and I’ve got over 500 phone numbers in there…. it would be very handy to have them automatically in skype…. Charlie

  13. charlierichmond said 2754 days ago

    And….. what is a trackback????

  14. mattpeddlesden said 2753 days ago

    I live and work in London, and we’re looking to see how the Skype technology is going to affect the world of two-factor telephone based authentication. Would be fantastic to get in touch with you folk directly for an exchange of ideas.

    Matt.

  15. carydc said 2753 days ago

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to get my Skype Out Configured. It requires credit to be setup for it to do out calling to my phone or cell phone. I have tried numerous times to add money to the account to no avail. The system keeps giving me security errors and denying me entrance to the page where I can add the money so there is the ability to out call and forward my skype calls to my phone where ever.

    Has Anyone had this issue and how did they get it resolved?

  16. alexander_c_ehmann said 2753 days ago

    Just joined Skype as of yesterday so I am happy to give my views should you still want them. Thanks

    Hi Guys and girls I recently found this* unwanted message on my Skype. Good Idea to shut down when you are not around.
    I could not find the right people to send it to at Skype so I thought I would give you all the chance of first refusal.

    Good day

    I am Mr. Pascal Dufrasne, Branch Manager of BNP
    Paribas Singapore, Private Bank, 20 Collyer Quay Tung
    Centre Singapore 049319. I have proposition for you.
    An american Oil consultant/contractor with the
    Singapore Solid Minerals Corporation, {Mr.Glenn . B.
    Hatleberg} made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
    for twelve calendar months, valued at US$3,750,000.00
    (Three Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand
    Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I
    sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
    but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder
    and finally we discovered from his
    contract employers, the Singapore Solid Minerals
    Corporation that Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg died in a
    plane crash along with his wife, Barbara Hatleberg in
    febuary 2000,

    http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/.

    On further investigation, I found out that he died
    without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
    next of kin have been fruitless as Mr.Glenn . B.
    Hatleberg did not declare any kin or relations in all
    his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
    paper work in my Bank.

    This sum of US$3,750,000.00 is still sitting in my
    Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
    principal sum at the end of each year.
    No one will ever come forward to claim it. According
    to Laws of Singapore, at the expiration of 5 (five)
    years which is this year, the money
    will revert to the ownership of the Government if
    nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my
    proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
    stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg
    so that the fruits of this old man’s labor will not
    get into the hands of some corrupt government
    officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide
    immediately your full names and address so that the
    attorney will prepare the necessary
    documents and affidavits that will put you in place as
    the next of kin.

    We shall employ the services of an attorney for
    drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain
    the necessary documents in your favor for
    the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world
    that you will provide will then facilitate the
    transfer of this money to you as the
    beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into
    your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for
    me and 30% for you.
    There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
    transaction will be done by the attorney and my
    position as the Branch Manager
    guarantees the successful execution of this
    transaction. If you are interested, please reply
    immediately via the private email addresses below. Upon
    you

    dear friends,I started to use skype 4 days ago,and think it is fantastic,it is a small problem however.I have several friends that also use skype,but they only have one computer,my be it would be a good idea to have more accounts on the same computer,so that people that are sharing a flat or so could have their own account?

  23. soniabarini said 2745 days ago

    Eu sou assinante Skype.
    Logo depois de ter feito minha assinatura e comprado créditos (10 EUROS), recebi um e-mail da Skype informando meus dados como abaixo:
    ” SKYPE: soniabarini barini
    Skype Name: soniabarini
    Number: 9589042
    Your verification code is:
    soniabarini.20050819.c6746

    Total amount: 10.00 Euros
    Current Status: DELIVERED”
    Cheguei a fazer algumas ligações. Mas, há alguns dias, quando tento fazer um chamado, a ligação não se completa e recebo a msg
    “Seu crédito acabou. Clique aqui para comprar mais crédito”
    e ao tentar comprar mais créditos, recebo a msg abaixo:
    “Compre Crédito Skype
    Se adicionar Crédito Skype à sua conta poderá facilmente comprar serviços e conteúdo Skype, incluindo SkypeOut, uma maneira boa e bastante económica de fazer chamadas a partir do Skype para os amigos que ainda usam linhas fixas tradicionais ou telemóveis.

You have to spend some of Skype Credits before you can buy more.

    O saldo de crédito perde a validade após 180 dias de inactividade. Consulte as Condições de Serviço para informações adicionais.”

    CONCLUSÃO: não sei o que fazer para continuar usando o Skype. Além de tudo, não quero perder meu saldo restante.

    Hola a todos, supuestamente he pedido comprado una tarjeta por valor de $10.00 de llamada por el sistema skype para llamar a La Paz-Bolivia a un teléfono fijo. Después de esta acción me ha salido una página donde dice:
    Titular de la cuenta Global Collect BV… y otros datos y me dan mi “código de clasificación:…” y… otros datos, también me dicen “Usa el número de referencia de pago:..” .
    Me pregunta es: cómo pago los $ 10.00? y ¿Cómo llamo al número del teléfono al quiero llamar?
    Gracias por la ayuda,

    Tive um problema com virus no computador e tive de reinstalar programas, inclusive o skype. Ao reinstalar o skype fiquei registrado como jose.amaral.sobrinho2 e perdi com isto os créditos que já havia comprado como jose.amaral.sobrinho1. Comprei mais créditos, mas fui informado por e-mail que o skype rejeitou a compra por questão de segurança. Como faço para ter novamente os créditos que tinha como jose.amaral.sobrinho1 antes de reinstalar o skype e se não for possível, como comprar mais créditos com o cartão de crédito visa como jose.amaral.sobrinho2?
