Life after Skype

[FrankPintor]

I was recommended to use the MobileVoip client (apps for iOS and Android) with a Lowratevoip account / credit. Just signed up, I'll see how it goes.

Very helpful. Thank you for posting.

I am in the process of signing up for Sonetel....but they want a 'signed' document and a Skype receipt. We will see.....

I think that sounds great depending on the frequency/length of your calls. For me Skype was great because it was unlimited SMS and calls to landlines/toll free numbers. My calls with my dad and relatives would put me at over $100 a month on that scheme, though, which I can't afford.

I hope someone truly comes up with a comparable service that also includes the 2 factor authentication texts I need to be able to receive. I've sorted through a lot of options and none seem to offer me the exact service Skype did for a price I can afford. I think Yolla might work while I'm trying to sort through all the options for something more long-term though. Thanks so much for listing it here for us!

I like Yolla so far

I switched to Tello last month. Everything was easy and works fine, including 2FA SMS.

That was the other service I was looking into. Knowing the 2FA SMS works is a relief. Did you port a Skype number over to them?

I ported from another cell service. No problem.
