A problem with Skype’s status system has been fixed on Monday night and the services fully restored.
Skype service had been suspended on Monday evening but just after midnight on Tuesday, Skype said services had been fully restored. In a statement, Skype-owner Microsoft said it had “detected an issue with the status settings” on Skype that show if someone is online or not.
In addition, said Microsoft, all the contacts of affected users would show as offline meaning they would not be able to call those people.
Many Skype users in the UK, Australia and Japan have all reported problems.
Skype support staff acknowledged the issue in a tweet and said the firm was working on a “quick fix”. It also apologized for the inconvenience being caused.
