I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I'm sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

Immigration Canada wanted proof of my wife and I's relationship, so we dumped a packet of printed call logs on them as thick as a novel. Skype certainly served its purpose.
Huh?
I thought Skype was still a widely used thing.
Not really. It’s just called “Teams” now.
I actually had a Skype phone back in the days
Skype you later!
IMO Skype to this day has the best emojis.
Who?
Skype for Business LTSC 2024 is still supported until 2029. You just need to already be running an On-Prem Skype for Business Server and migrate it to the new Subscription Edition come October. I bet it will get really costly for the holdouts.
