Editors’ Notes
From the new baby to the latest sales figures, Skype makes sharing our big news better. Anyone can start calling, texting, and video-conferencing—or even dialing landlines—thanks to the intuitive design. With zillions of Skype users to connect to, it’s one of the most useful apps on our iPhone and Apple Watch.
Thank you for the last 10 years
Hi, I want to start this by saying I want to send my deepest gratitude & appreciation for Skype over the last 10 years. Me and my fiancé are texting & still having daily text through Skype. We first met & started talking a bit over 10 years ago in 2014, and been using Skype since then. Now you may wonder why don’t we use phone texting like regular people. The story was I did not have a cell phone nor phone number 10 years ago, I had an iPad, so creating a Skype account for free was the best choice I had back then to text, and surprisingly he agreed to create one & we’ve been using Skype together just 2 of us daily text since 2014. For people, texting through Skype as a couple is an odd thing to do, but we don’t think so. We think it makes us different from other, since we the only 2 out of our hundreds of friends using it haha Skype isn’t just an app, it has our daily text & good night video call for the last 10yrs, and we still can’t process the thought of our old friend Skype is being retired this May 2025. It is an extremely sad news for us to know that Skype is being retired, and we for sure miss it a lot. Skype is and will always have a special place in our heart, it sounds silly I know haha but it’s true. Thank you for the team behind Skype that work effortlessly to maintain & run Skype. I do hope that Skype will return one day, even though it just my hope. You did great Skype :) thank you once again, hope to see you again soon!
ONKY SOLUTION WE FOUND!!!
Our family is in a trip for the week atone of the Hocking Hills cabins where there is no cellular service or connections but they do have WiFi. We thought we’d be able to use WiFi calling but it didn’t work. The cabin also has an internet phone but was experiencing difficulties with connecting so we had NO phone.
It wasn’t a huge deal but for safety reasons I prefer to have an emergency line to call out. I downloaded several apps that said we could make calls via WiFi and none worked. I also tried using my business line which we use a digital service provider for and it worked but only twice then kept failing. Our second day here while in my wife’s computer Skype popped up which I had forgotten about. And man was I glad it did because it worked AMAZINGLY! Outside of a lag in the call it was the ONLY things that worked which allowed us to contact the cabin staff regarding the phone and schedule some of the events we wanted to do with the kiddos.
Truly appreciate having Skype!
