I use Viber to call my friends & family in the USA, $1.99/mo.

I use WhatsApp to call friends in other countries.

Can call +1 800 numbers using Viber, which is important to me. 

Whatsapp chares your personal information with Meta. So that is not an option for me.

The same everyone else wants, the closest thing to Skype, and that's Viber. 

 

Can you name another product that is as close to Skype as Viber is?

Viber is a monthly subscription so for people like me making only a few landline calls a quarter it works out quite expensive; Skype for many years was a simple top-up when empty subscription which was for me much cheaper. Granted they changed to monthly subscription in recent months but my old credit lasted just long enough.

Yes, but Yolla do not offer an unlimited paid call subscription. 

Who cares, only need to ring my bank now and then.

Can you do free voice / video calls? 

No video calls. Free calls within US and Canada (maybe more if your # is in another country). Use Facebook Messenger for free calls and video calls. The other party has to be on your friend list.
