I didn?t have a headset or speakers. I had technical problems or other restrictions not related to Skype (e.g. internet access). I have read that Skype is not secure. I find that using Skype didn?t save me any/much money. I am uninstalling Skype to upgrade to the latest version of Skype Money on my Skype account is/was missing. None of my friends used Skype even after I tried to get them to start using Skype It is not convenient to use because I don?t want to turn my computer on to make personal calls. The call quality was not what I expected. I had technical problems (other than bad call quality) or received error messages from Skype.

The causes fall into four broad buckets: Problematic perceptions of Skype’s product and web experience, social behavior (too few people you want) and antisocial behavior (too many people you don’t want), gear missing, limited, or just not working third-party interference (employer, networks, ISPs) Have you dropped Skype?
