Best Posts in Thread: The end of Skype

mytello, I put 5 dollars in and still got 2.3 dollars in. Rang up the UK pension a few time no problem, it's an American company but Not sure about texting and it's cheap.

Skype is closing down in May.

This will include their VOIP service, which I use to phone home and for which I paid up to September - Microsoft has a poor reputation for refunding money.

I have read many accounts of people who paid for expensive services from Microsoft, only to be blocked and then refused refunds. I also read that they block about 1 million accounts per day - so they must get a huge income stream from that!

IMO, good riddance to a useless service by a useless company - however did they get away with providing a cr*p OS??? I know the answer, but still unbelievable.

Now I have to try new ways of phoning the UK and perhaps other companies might step into the gap.

 

I haven't made the transition over to Teams yet, but have heard it is relatively easy. Also read that you can keep your Skype number, but need to look into that a bit more.

Just download the new Teams on the skype page.All your contacts,numbers and your balance will be there for use after may 5..same service different name is all.Already did mine..took a few seconds

 

Thanks very much - I had already checked some alternatives and mytello (plus Rebtel) came out as strong possibilities. So it is really useful to have a favourable opinion from someone who has used mytello.

So if I give your name I already have $2.30 to spend? Great.
