This has been an ongoing and escalating trend for a month or two.

Im not sure if its relevant or related but people frequently have trouble getting through to me on Skype when they call from their phones. I will not be upgrading to Windows 10 because it sucks so much. All software, both OS and Skype, are up to date. I have never been able to get the Windows 8.1 App version of Skype to work. I do not use the instant messaging, so that is irrelevant to me.

Regardless, I can neither make phone calls nor receive phone calls on any of my devices, regardless of how I access Skype. Across each of these three devices I can log into the Skype Web client just fine, but I am repeatedly listed as unavailable even when I change it it will automatically change back. Basically freezes up trying to check my password. On my HP laptop, however, with Windows 8.1, the Skype downloaded program (not the Win App) simply will not log in whatsoever. On my Microsoft Surface with Windows 8.1 (Skype downloaded program, not the Windows App) and on my iPod Touch 4th gen, I can log into Skype just fine and am correctly listed as logged in and available. As of 8:00 PM UTC, from Washington State, I still cannot access my Skype services.
