You are not the only user experiencing this problem as you can see here.

Here's a quote from a Skype admin:

"We have confirmed the trouble with the DTMF tones.

They indeed seem to brake middle of the call.

We are working on fixing it."

DTMF stands for Dual-Tone Multi-frequency, or just a nerd way to say dial pad tones.


Nerds need love too...
