That is one component part.<br>
The other is that you can subscribe to cheap subcriptions to
unlimited calls for geographic regions - that's calls to telephone
numbers in any part of the world. In business, the telephone is
still important and being able to place such calls from anywhere
with an Internet is good. Agreed, roaming deals with mobile
providers have eaten a bit of this, but recently mobile phone
operators have actually tightened their roaming conditions, so Skype
might still have some time to live.<br>
<br>
The other thing I was wondering about was a post from Dev in
December about Skype Truevoice.

Has anyone actually used this? What is it like?<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>

<span><span style="color:rgb(19,19,19)">At its
height, Skype – a telecommunications app
founded by Scandinavian entrepreneurs Niklas
Zennström and Janus Friis, and Estonian
engineers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, Jaan
Tallinn and Toivo Annus – had 560 million
registered users. In 2005, just two years
after its launch, the app was acquired by
eBay. Later, a majority stake was sold to
private equity firm Silver Lake. Microsoft
then acquired Skype in 2011 for $8.5
billion. While it was revolutionary in its
time, Skype’s journey has been full of ups
and downs. Now that Microsoft has rival
Teams, the future of Skype is uncertain.
