What replaced Skype for calling phone numbers?
Short answer
Skype shut down in May 2025, and Microsoft Teams, where users were moved, does not sell pay-as-you-go calls to ordinary phone numbers. TwinPhone does what Skype Credit did: it calls landlines and mobiles in 145+ countries from a browser, $0.02 a minute to the US and Canada, with no subscription.

What happened to Skype Credit and Skype Number?
Both ended with Skype. Unused Skype Credit could not be moved to Teams, and Skype Numbers could not be kept in the free Teams app.
How is TwinPhone like SkypeOut?
You top up a balance ($10 minimum), call any phone number and pay per minute, with the rate shown before the call connects. A US or Canadian number, from $3.19/month, replaces a Skype Number for receiving calls (how to replace a Skype Number). It runs in the browser, so there is no client to install. If you used Skype to reach a US bank, the IRS or an airline on a 1-800 line, those toll-free numbers ring the same way, at the US rate, time on hold included (how to call US toll-free numbers from abroad).
