Skype's days are numbered, as the Skype apps are now warning users that the service will be going away on May 5, and that existing users should migrate to Teams.
It seems like a very underrated feature but Skype’s overseas calling feature was great and the 60 mins I get each month with 365 was really nice. Them getting rid of that basically made Skype useless.
I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.
Oh that’s neat, hope you can use them up soon or get a reimbursement of some sort. They just announced formally that they’re shutting the service down.

Do your credits still exist? I was under the impression that they phased out the credit system.
Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.
