A problem with Skype's status system has been fixed, after many people were unable to use the service.
Reports about Skype being unavailable started at about 09:00 BST on Monday in the UK.
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.
The problem locked many people's status as offline - stopping them making calls even though they were connected.
