Common questions from former Skype users.
Skype-to-Skype calls were free, but Skype itself shut down on May 5, 2025. There's no fully free replacement that calls real phone numbers — every service charges for landline and mobile calls. TwinPhone offers the closest experience: free signup, pay only for the minutes you actually use, with rates from $0.02/min. No subscription, no monthly fee — same model as Skype Credit but cheaper.
Microsoft retired Skype on May 5, 2025, after 22 years of service. Microsoft decided to focus on Microsoft Teams as its primary communication platform. Skype users were given the option to migrate to Teams or find alternative services like TwinPhone for browser-based international calling.
Skype Credit (prepaid balance for calling phones) is gone. TwinPhone uses the same pay-as-you-go model: add $10 credit, call any of 180+ countries from $0.02/min, and your balance lasts until you use it. No expiry on credit. Per-second billing means you only pay for actual call time, not rounded minutes.
Yes. Like Skype, TwinPhone lets you call landlines and mobiles worldwide from your browser. TwinPhone offers cheaper rates (from $0.02/min vs Skype's higher rates), pay-as-you-go pricing (no subscription needed), and works without downloading any software.
Yes — TwinPhone runs entirely in your browser. No installer, no app store, no extension. Open www.twin-phone.com in Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, sign up, and start calling. Same zero-friction experience as Skype's web version, but always available without an account migration.
Skype numbers could not be ported after shutdown. However, you can get a new virtual number from TwinPhone in 13+ countries (US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, and more) for $1.95/month. Share it with your contacts as your new number for international calls.
Yes, TwinPhone's calling feature is very similar to Skype Out (calling real phone numbers from a browser). The difference is TwinPhone uses modern WebRTC technology for better call quality, and offers lower per-minute rates.
Signing up is free, no credit card required. You only pay when you call: add credit from $10, pay $0.02–$0.10/min depending on destination. There's no monthly subscription. Virtual numbers are optional at $1.95/month if you want a dedicated dial-in number.
Microsoft Teams is primarily designed for workplace collaboration (meetings, chat, file sharing). TwinPhone is purpose-built for international calling to real phone numbers — simpler, cheaper, and focused on what Skype users actually need for calling abroad. Teams cannot replace Skype Out functionality; TwinPhone can.
Skype is gone. TwinPhone is here. From $0.02/min, no download needed.
