To Skype fans in and around London:

Do you live in or around London? Interested in visiting Skype and meeting with the team?

Whether you’re new to Skype or a grizzled veteran, we want to talk with you about what you like and what we could do better. It’s more than just a focus group, as we would like your input over several months (don’t worry, it won’t require that much time from you).

We’ll invite you to our offices a few times so our relationship can grow, and soon we’ll be finishing each other’s sentences.

If this sounds like fun, go ahead and send an email to “voices ‘at’ skype.net”.

    This sounds a good idea, I’d spare some time for this as I believe the Skype is great for the over 50′s like me.

    Count me in.

  2. thickey said 2765 days ago

    Yes please count me in also. This is about the 4th time such a request has been made, I have said yes to them all. Perhaps not many people in the London area read this?

    Hi, I’m a Skype user living and working around London. I use skype for my business and it has revolutionised how me and my staff work. I would really like to participate in the Skype “focus” group.

    Skype is too fat. I hope someone listens. Main window size is too restrictive. Also the icons are ridicululously large almost childlike. I preferred the look of skype before version 11200 Sent in suggestions and sizing issue hasn’t changed. please fix the sizing and too many info windows also make it like v 11200 or earlier nice and simple and sizeable to whatever you want.

    Please sent me or place somewhere in your site your address and your telephone number in London, because I want to contact with your company.

    I’d be interested. We’re using Skype in a small but global business (have even talked on a flight between London and Singapore!). Have a few ideas of how the service can be further improved (eg. voice mail forwarded by email, etc)

    As a longtime Skype user, I would like to be involved in developing the product farther. Please could you include me in your list. Thanks

    I’ve been to a focus group in London and have used Skype extensively with my girlfriend ever since. Mainly to make long distance calls to China or across Europe. Calling to Mobile phones has still been a bit expensive, but also used Skype for some very international conference calls, where the sound quality was excellent. SkypeIn, Call Forwarding and Voicemail are all doing a great job, but especially the Voicemail feature has proven useful again and again. It’s just much easier to leave a message this way than writing it down in an email. Can’t wait for the next release and hope it includes some of the features I hope it does. Keep up the good work and please include me in some beta testing! I’m just looking for a job in Munich, but might be back in London soon.

    count me in

  13. constantineg said 2761 days ago

    sign me up – I’d very much like to take part. Travel a great deal, and Skype has proved invaluable. I’ve put a lot of people on to it.

  14. handlinger said 2761 days ago

    As a new user I am very impressed by the soundquality and how easy it is to use.
    I’m in.

  15. davidlovelyjohnson said 2761 days ago

    count me in

  16. omarmiah said 2758 days ago

    Sounds good.
    Count me in.

  17. aquincey said 2758 days ago

    After re-reading the article I noticed this:

    ‘If this sounds like fun, go ahead and send an email to “voices ‘at’ skype.net”.’

    That means saying “count me in” doesn’t get you in on this. You have to email them at that email address (written like that to avoid spam harvesters grabbing the email address by the way)

    Peace to all

    I live in London – SkypeOut is great. However, Voice Mail has never worked and I paid dearly for it (upload error when I try to record greeting, even though I signed in lower case; Now I have an invalid port despite ticking and unticking alternate ports.) When I call my SKYPEIn number it goes straight to an automated voicemail message and no voice mail. £30 wasted at this point (£10 for voice mail and £20 for SkypeIn) Like my new Linksys cordless phone with Skype.

    I live in London have been using Skype from Almost day 1 and used ir for a logn time but then moved to other platforms as the industry changed and they offered things skype did not at the time, now back on Skype as it’s offering things the other don’t – lie the skype casts – which however lacks any kind of way to tell who’s actually talking. You need a graphic equalizer type indicator next to each person’s name so you can figure out who’s speaking. But Yeah I’d love to give you guys some of my thoughts .. one of the last companies that listened to my advice tripled their customer signup’s in just 24 hours… cos I saw things they missed.
