Skype Discount Codes April 2024

Are you looking to make phone calls or video calls through the internet to other countries? Skype is one of the first services that offered this service, launching in 2003. Since then, it has been grown to become synonymous with VoIP in general. It has also been one of the most-high profile acquisitions in the past decade, being acquired by Microsoft and became a division of the company in May 2011 for US$ 8.5 billion.

Skype is presently the only VoIP service provider with a hybrid client-server and peer-to-peer system, offering a great balance of speed, efficiency and security. Despite being banned by some educational, home, government and corporate networks, Skype has become incredibly popular, and for good reason.

Skype offers an almost unrivalled level of usability and features, and is incredibly easy to use as well. Most of its services are, in fact, free, but credits and subscriptions are necessary to call other non-Skype devices. As of 2013, 300 million users use Skype, with 4.9 million daily active users.
