Haven't seen it this bad.
It really started last night. I was up around 3 AM EDT or so talking with my son on the trusty Vonage softphones and I noticed the Skype taskbar icon trying to reconnect. |

Thanks for all the replies. I found out the same response right after I left the message.
I sent a company wide message because at least half of my users are using it to help us save on our phone bills. |

Thank the lord, no. My wife has a co-worker that got stuck in that mess. I have no idea if it is all working or not. I will have to ask. |

Of course happens the exact time I install a new router, meaning I spent an hour trying to figure out what crazy firewall setting was blocking Skype..... Then testing Skype on my PPC phone and realizing it was a system wide issue. |

my Skype closed by itself. I just restarted it, and was "online" for about 30 seconds. My green changed back to gray, where now it sits.
EDIT: Oops! It just closed again. 9,000,000 people world-wide .. HOSED! Our old friend noodler would be proud! |

You know, I have taken advantage of this Skype outage to really try out Gizmo. I use it with Grand Central for incoming, but hadn't used the call out feature before today.
Jeebus, what a letdown.
Call out calls don't, well, call out. I was unable to get a single call to dial out. I got nothing at all but dead air. When someone called my GC number Gizmo rang and answered just fine but would not call out. Wasted $10 on that sucker.
To the fine people at Skype; get the freaking wheels back on the tracks and lets get this thing moving again. PLEASE! |

Skype still not working here... 6 AM EST. Is this a problem with the new software? version 3.5.0.202 is what I'm using and right after downloading it recently this problem started for me. Not sure whether it's that or just an overall system problem affecting their 10 gazillion users now worldwide. |

Not working here this morning either (7:57am Eastern Time). This is way too long! There must be a WHOLE lot of people going nuts right now. (Both on their end and ours). |

It's been working for me since around 11 or so last night. It doesn't tell you how long you have been on so I don't know that it held up overnight, but I made several calls last night and 2 this morning. It's working. |

Mine just sat trying to connect when I tried it this morning. (Haven't used it in a while).
I'll give it another shot later (I'm headed out for a while).
Thanks for the heads up. |

Mine had been trying to reconnect since yesterday. Just shut it down and restarted. Connected an works fine. |
|

Uh, yeah. Now that I am at my office no Skype. Itsallgood though. I got my Vonage softphone and my $10 credit at Gizmo. Skype will be back. I get a tremendous amount of value out of the $8.85 a quarter that I give them. |

As of 11:00am Eastern Time, I am not getting any connection. I don't know if anyone else is having this, but my client will try for about 5 minutes or so and then crash. It might be my version, I don't know. |
