It seems like a very underrated feature but Skype's overseas calling feature was great and the 60 mins I get each month with 365 was really nice. Them getting rid of that basically made Skype useless.
I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.
Do your credits still exist? I was under the impression that they phased out the credit system.
Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.
Oh that's neat, hope you can use them up soon or get a reimbursement of some sort. They just announced formally that they're shutting the service down.
