5 artists in 5 locations waiting for your words
To celebrate Skype being mobile we’re inviting you to unleash your message in wild and wonderful ways. We’ve set up five artists across the globe to help transform your personal messages into outdoor art.
This very minute, messages from people like you are being sculpted into trees in Turkey, taken to the streets of Tokyo, turned into contemporary art in the USA, set free in the Australian Outback and re-imagined by street performers in Barcelona.
Each artist has the Skype application on their mobile phone – all you have to do is call one of them, leave a voice message and then have your message unleashed into the great outdoors. Whether it’s a well-wishing note to NASA for the Shuttle launch, an appeal to stop cuts at Leeds University, or just a reminder to write home, their creative minds will turn your message into a work of art.
We’re already taking over a thousand calls every day, so get yours in quickly – and watch the video above for some more inspiration 
Little cheating?
Why do you not say that Phil Hansen in USA is using a Motorola Droid/Milestone? (You can see that in the Videos). For all other artists, you named the phone.
Kleiner Betrug?
Warum schreiben Sie auf der Website nicht das Phil Hansen aus den USA ein Motorola Droid/Milestone benutzt? Bei allen anderen Künstlern steht das Modell dabei.
Dear Mr. Silverman
I wanted to post this blog and tell you about my personal experience with your customer service department. I spoke with Rita. On April 17, of this year my skype credit was almost $10 USD. I have had an unlimited account with your company for 1 year and have been satisfied with my service. I purchased that credit on February 9, 2010 and at that time I also went under my payment options and changed my credit card information.
On Feb 14 of this year skype tried to run an automatic renewal charge and it failed. I found out today (by my own research Rita was no help at all) that skype tried to renew my acct with my old credit card information which had since been closed.
Today I went online and renewed my unlimited plan manually because my phone quit working and i could not make a call.
The reason I IM’ed customer service was to find out why my renewal didnt go thru and also to get a credit for the $10 that your company had been using up in my acct thru per minute charges. Rita kindly told me that she was not authorized to fix the incorrect charges on my acct even though Skype tried to authorize the charges on the wrong card. She was more than happy to cancel my account all together though and refund the brand new unlimited plan i just paid for.
Mr. Silverman here is my question. Why would you lose a paying customer over a $10 charge that was your companies error, Instead of just fixing it and apologizing? I was so frustrated by your customer service that i agreed with her and let her close my account. She happily refunded the $35 yearly subscription but refused to fix the $10 billing error.
Mr. Silverman I was satisfied with your technical service so much so that I cancelled my unlimited long distance on my home phone and was using your service exclusively on my I-phone. Mr. Silverman you need to give your customer support agents more authority to fix your companies billing issues and keep the good paying customer you have. This was my first call to your customer support and unfortunately it will probably be my last. I want to give my money to a company who actually treats its customers who have issues with as much respect and ease as the ones it just signed up.
