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.
Some of us live overseas and need to make official calls to government agencies and companies from time to time.
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.
