Yes. Microsoft retired consumer Skype on May 5, 2025, both the free and paid versions. New Skype subscriptions have ended, and Skype Numbers and Skype Credit purchases are no longer available. If you relied on Skype for business calls, you need a real replacement, and Allo is built to be one.
Microsoft points Skype users to Microsoft Teams (Free), a chat and meetings app, or to export their data. Teams is not a business sales phone. Allo is a purpose-built business phone: real numbers, AI on every call, native CRM sync and a full phone system.
To keep a Skype Number you would need to port it out to another carrier before it is gone. Allo helps you port your number and set up your new business line, with human-handled porting usually done in days and free migration.
