It never says that RTX, Netgear, Topcom, Phillips or whoever manufacturer might be, that owns the software inside.

Following their logic on Skype support, whenever for ex, we have problems with any piece of software, we should claim with hardware manufacturer??!!

Where can we escalate this issue?

The problem got fixed in my case, on both Netgear phones. Before signing in I chose "don't remember password for automatic sign in" and after a few attempts it simply signed in. I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but it worked.

I can log in (painfully) but can't make a call. Have you tried making a call?

[GTEDevelopments]

Can anybody answer how we get through to Skype to fix this problem urgently.  We rely on these phones for our business and have a call contract in place which we can obviously no longer use so it is affecting our business badly.

How do we get this escalated????????????????

I got skype support to log this as an error yesterday, got a email today from them (my SPH200D phone just connected yesterday about 15:00, praying it stays that way ! :-

We also had a problem over this past weekend with our Netgear SPH200d not logging in to Skype. However, today it shows up as logged in and we are now receiving calls again. Anyone else experiencing a return of service?
