Overall Satisfaction with Skype

My organization is quite small (I'm a sole proprietor) and so I use it for international audio calls when I'm traveling abroad. It helps me maintain critical lines of communication whenever I need them. I use it instead of an assortment of other similar products and find that it does what it's designed to.
  • International calls
  • Reliable backbone
  • Simple interface
  • Even more streamlining interface.
  • Improved cost transparency.
  • More secure sign in process.
  • Keeps me in touch with clients.
  • Easy to use so I don't need to waste time..
  • Available when I'm abroad.
  • Zoom
I've also used Zoom and Apple FaceTime to audio and video calls when traveling or when working from home on the road. I actually like them all a lot, but I find Skype to be the most useful for when I'm out of the country and I need to make an audio call to someone in another country.

Would you buy Skype again?

Yes

It is nearly perfect for the type of international calling that I use it for when I find myself out of the country. It is also good for domestic calls when I'm at home. I also use it when clients suggest it as their preferred means of communication since I try and meet their preferences whenever reasonably possible.
