One of the best P2P software at the time. It was so simple and effective and allowed people to call real phones with Skype credit.

A genius product ripped my Microsoft. Have you used Microsoft Teams recently? Bad UI, hard to configure external hardware and good level of incompatibility, missing the good old "Echo / Sound Test Service". At a point I even installed Skype of my old Android but was sucking up too much battery.

Not just "of the time" - if you need to call international numbers as of 2025, there's no good replacement for Skype from earlier this year.
