Understandable choice, given that Skype is pretty much redundant with Teams. Back in 2004-2005 Skype was really hyped because of free voice calls through the Internet, but few days later several other messaging apps incorporated that feature; Skype’s thunder was stolen. Also its inconsistent branding was a problem: there was Skype for Business that later became Lync, ultimately becoming Teams. Skype kind of became forgotten and obsolete.

        Likely so. But even my 78-year-old mom got rid of her landline a few years ago. That’s a niche use case in 2025.

            Fair point. There was actually an interesting loophole 15 years ago where calling my uncles in Zuerich (+41 1) made it a local information call and thus not charged for.
