Microsoft Discontinues Skype Number Sales and Credits

Microsoft has quietly stopped allowing users to purchase Skype credit and phone numbers, pushing them towards monthly subscription plans for Skype-to-phone services. This change, which was not officially announced, affects millions of users who relied on Skype's phone functionalities. Existing credits and numbers will still work, but new purchases are halted. This move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to focus on subscription-based services, as Skype faces competition from platforms like WhatsApp and Zoom.
