Missing Skype calls on mobile device

Copper Contributor

When my phone is active and I have the Skype app up, I can receive calls just fine.  However, if my phone has been inactive for a period, and I'm not in the Skype app, then the Skype status changes to "Away" and I miss any incoming calls.

 

I would expect to recieve Skype calls whether I'm activly in the Skype app or not.

 

I've remove the app/reinstalled it, and get the same result.  I've also tried it on multiple phones and OS's and get the same result.

 

Phone: iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, and Samsun Galaxy S7

Software: iOS 10, and Android 6.0.1

Agree, the app is hit and miss for me as well on inbound calls and IM's.

Can anyone from Microsoft speak to this?  This issue persist after multiple updates to the Skype for Business App.  It is a completely unusable solution on a mobile phone at this point.

 

I opened a support case with Microsoft, but the tech I was dealing with was completely incompetent and unfamiliar with both Skype and the iOS phone I was on.

Any news on this topic?

 

I do see issues with iOS client.
