Skype
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- It gives you full data access on Wi-Fi or mobile networks wherever you are, and supports call forwarding apps like Voice or Skype smoothly.
- Try Skype first. Its still working for me (i dont know why)
- I've never run into this issue with my Skype number. I've been using it for 8 years now
- I use Skype because it lets me have a US phone number that can handle 2 factor security from any country with virtually no drawbacks. For someone living abroad who uses US services, it's a godsend, and cheaper than anything else.
- Exactly! I just need a number to receive calls and Skype was perfect for me - low cost and good connectivity.
Cons
- Skype used to be a great option but now that it's dead I'm having trouble finding a good replacement.
- Microsoft had let Skype die. Just switch to a better alternative.
- So I run most of my business of skype but they just removed text messages. Still can't believe it and slowly I think they will start to remove the service.
- I've never seen software go so far off the rails (maybe skype after microsoft bought it?).
- Skype isn’t quite what it used to be, sadly! 😕

Skype, which has been shut down.

Oh and Skype, which is already EOL.
I’ve done language exchanges by text, on Skype and in person. My experiences have been very varied.
