Can't you work it out? Pointless having a subscription when you call a few times a year

Yeah in that case, I will work it out really quick for you. If only a couple of times a year, just use your phone with the providers promo codes for international calls. I guess it will not ruin you, if you ain´t a guy that need to turn every baht.

Skype service has taken a dive ever since MS bought the service.  I switched to Vyke and very happy with it.

Some issues now with Skype might be due to Skype is now owned by Microsoft. As the story goes, MS introduced Team as a competitor to Skype but Skype remained much more popular.  So it might be a business strategy by MS purchase of Skype to establish practices that would drive Skype users to use Team.

 

MS became the owner of Skype in 2011, that is 13 years ago

You do know that they bought it back in 2011 which was about 4/5 years before Teams was initially tested?

I don't disagree that they may want to try and kill it off if they can get people to move to Teams however.

Oh yeah! Sure it is. Microsoft does everything wrong. They must just do that, as most of there products and software as well as applications are top rated all over the world. Just because a few like you do not like Microsoft, does not make it true. Just make it silly!
