As Skype’s May 2025<\/span> retirement looms, Call.com invites users to seamlessly transition \u2013 offering imported chats & media, phone number porting, and a platform supercharged by a recent $7M<\/span>-backed acquisition and 500,000+ user base.<\/p>\n

LONDON<\/span><\/span>, April 17, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Call.com, a rising global communications platform, today affirmed its position as the leading alternative for Skype users facing the imminent shutdown of Skype’s consumer service. With Microsoft retiring Skype in May 2025<\/span>, Call.com is inviting users to join its network with a seamless migration experience. Users can bring along their Skype history and even their phone numbers, ensuring communication continuity.<\/p>\n

To make the switch effortless, Call.com offers:<\/b><\/p>\n

– Import of Skype conversations and media: Users can transfer chat histories and media files using Microsoft’s export tool.
– Phone number porting: North American\u00a0Skype users can port their numbers to Call.com, avoiding service disruption.<\/p>\n

These features, alongside Call.com’s familiar free voice\/video calling and messaging, aim to ease the transition for millions. “Skype has been a trusted staple for global communication for years,” said Rolf Larsen<\/span>, CEO of Call.com. “Our mission is to empower users. We ensure that moving to Call.com brings continuity, enhanced privacy, and a platform built for the future.”<\/p>\n

Strategic Growth and Acquisition<\/b><\/p>\n

Call.com recently acquired Vyke Holding Limited, a London<\/span>-based VoIP pioneer, in a deal funded by over $7 million<\/span> from Norwegian investment firm Centennial AS (owned by Endre R\u00f8sj\u00f8). This boosted Call.com’s active user base to more than 500,000, including over 250,000 paying customers \u2013 a strong signal of market trust and viability.<\/p>\n

Vyke’s legacy \u2013 being the first mobile VoIP app pre-loaded on a Nokia phone in 2006 \u2013 strengthens Call.com’s credibility. The acquisition brings decades of experience to Call.com’s platform, now enhanced with virtual mobile numbers, multi-device support, and privacy-first features.<\/p>\n

A Premium Brand for a Global Audience<\/b><\/p>\n

Call.com operates on the ultra-premium Call.com domain, acquired for $1.6 million<\/span> in 2022. This authoritative name signals global ambition and instantly builds trust. It anchors the company’s mission to become a top-tier brand in global communication.<\/p>\n

Future-Ready for Skype Users<\/b><\/p>\n

More than a replacement, Call.com offers an upgrade for users and businesses. With its intuitive design and telecom-grade features, the platform is scaling fast to welcome new users with uncompromised quality and security.<\/p>\n

“This is more than a migration \u2013 it’s a chance to redefine global communication,” said CEO Rolf Larsen<\/span>. “We stand on the shoulders of a VoIP pioneer and carry that legacy forward with a modern twist. Call.com is built to empower users with freedom, continuity, and innovation.”<\/p>\n
