I think that the existing credit is still useable until they shut down Skype. I still have a Viber account but I only use it for one friend who does not want to change to something else. Strangely she only uses it for me so I don't understand her lack of logic.

I have used Viber Out in the past and found it OK but I really wanted to reduce the number of messaging apps that I use. As things stand I will probably buy some Viber Out credit and switch to Viber for making international calls.

The general consensus is that Teams is rubish and what I have seen of it so far seems to confirm that. Besides, as far as possible, I am trying to avoid using American products. Unfortunately the triumvirate of Microsoft, Google, and Apple are difficult to avoid as far as personal use operating systems are involved.

Regarding instant messaging, as I have mentioned in the past, Telegram remains my favourite for several reasons.

Now I need to find a way of reducing my dependence on Amazon (too damned convenient ); after all I don't want to be a parasite on America mad2 hide
