Microsoft recently announced that Skype will be shutting down soon. For many people, this isn’t just the end of an app — it’s the end of an affordable and trusted way to stay connected with loved ones and clients across the globe.
I’ve noticed how much Skype still matters to people who rely on simple, low-cost international calling. Not everyone wants to jump into complex video conferencing tools or modern messaging apps. Some just need an easy way to make calls abroad without the tech headaches.

A New International Calling Service, Built for Simplicity
As a solo developer, I’ve decided to build a new platform focused on exactly that — affordable international calls from your browser to any phone, anywhere in the world.
Here’s what I’m prioritizing:
✅ A user-friendly interface, even for non-tech-savvy users
✅ Straightforward subscription plans at competitive rates
✅ Reliable browser-based calling using Twilio’s infrastructure
✅ No passwords — just simple magic link logins for easy access
Who This Is For
- People who make regular international calls to family and friends
- Small business owners and freelancers managing overseas contacts
- Anyone affected by Skype’s closure looking for a simple alternative
Want Early Access?
I’m currently developing the MVP and would love to involve early users who can share feedback and help shape this project.
