My name’s Alex Chen. For years I ran international workshops and client calls exclusively on Skype’s pay-per-minute service—until one morning in May 2025, when Skype quietly killed classic outbound/inbound calling. My bank verifications, customer support sessions, and late-night demos all ground to a halt.
Frustrated by endless app installs and confusing subscription bundles, I set out to build a simple browser-only dialer that does everything Skype did—and a bit more:
• **Outbound calls** to any mobile or landline in 200+ countries, from $0.02/min
• **Inbound calls** via local virtual numbers (DIDs) you can buy in-app—ring and answer right in your browser
• **Zero setup**: no downloads, no plugins, just WebRTC in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari
• **Pay-as-you-go**: no contracts, no hidden fees, credit never expires
