Unfortunately because most people either don't care or somehow believe it has no effect on them...... oh and because they have got used to the "convenience" .....

Walk away and take the dogs with you?

When you posted that it is Buddha day now - tomorrow (Monday) is just a holiday but should be no booze ban.

Your right that they appear a tad smaller however if I was playing devils advocate......I don't think that is how you measure a waistband. How much material goes around to the back and perhaps it is stretchy...........maybe "stretching " things a bit here ...... As others have clearly said why would you buy an unknown brand online - and just before you are due to go away......

Sorry I am feeling a little antagonistic but please enlighten me as to which specific "financial companies" fall within your definition from your OP as a "boiler room'...............in terms of posters on here having issues with them..........

Really do not understand why you are defending him. Next we will be into semantics about what is fake or not...........

Are you saying DWP same as HMRC? If yes then that is a different answer to what @CharlieH suggested. For example HMRC have known for many years that I live in Thailand but I have yet to claim my State Pension.

If you are referring to a Thai bank when was the last time you spoke to one of their hotlines? My interactions with the SCB call centre suggests they speak and understand English in sufficient depth that I can only call your post "politely" misguided...... If you mean a "financial company" like Wise or Revolut then I have no experience.

I asked this question twice - in an online form and to a person - no answer to the form and and the person I asked was so unsure I still do not know for sure..... You have just reminded me to ask again.

Not sure I understand your question. What exactly are you looking for that hasn't been mentioned in one of the various Skype threads currently or recently running?

I may well be wrong but I would have to disagree that Skype was in any way a similar "competitor" to Microsoft at that time - and certainly not a rival - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedy2ygy50do Remember Microsoft bought it from basically private equity owners (ebay still had a 30% stake).

That is one of either the funniest or most naive statements I have read for a while especially considering their recent history with the upgrade from Windows 10 to 11....... Sorry if I am being harsh but that seems like nonsense. On what basis? Skype was bought over 10 years ago and has been superseded by alternatives, one of which they have suggested you can transfer to along with your contacts. The fact that some functionality is different is, IMHO, neither here nor there as far as your statement is concerned.

If you haven't looked at the link below it may help you understand the theory at least. Unfortunately almost none of the info you provided in the first post is that relevant......saying that I don't necessarily disagree with the first reply above..... Even if you only read the first page it should give you a basic understanding.

No you haven't missed anything. If you have no credit now then you will not be able to call landlines via Teams/Skype web portal. Along with many people you need to find another service.

Says who? He has an account which presumably is functioning? Contact CS of said bank if the bank account staff are saying that.
