After serving millions worldwide for nearly two decades, Skype will be officially retired in May 2025. This change affects free and paid users — but not Skype for Business. While Microsoft offers a path to transition users to Microsoft Teams Free, the shift opens up a broader conversation for businesses and individuals looking for a reliable, future-ready communication and collaboration platform.
At FLRS, we’re here to make your move seamless.
What You Need to Know:
• Skype users can switch to Microsoft Teams Free using their existing credentials.
• Chats and contacts will automatically transfer — ensuring continuity.
• Existing calling and Skype Number subscriptions will renew until April 3, 2025.
• After May, the remaining paid users can access the call via Teams Free or the Skype web portal.
• Paid Skype services like Skype Credit will no longer be available to new customers.
