My elderly grandmother who lives in the Bay Area uses Skype daily to talk to her sister in Hungary. I bought her an iPad a few years ago and loaded $50 of credits on it. I check her balance when I visit and occasionally top it off. Now I need to set up a monthly subscription??

As an aside, Skype has a terrible iPad app for accessibility. My grandmother can’t see very well anymore and needs the font to be increased a lot. The iPad Skype app doesn’t do well at large font levels. The interface spills out all over itself and it’s unusable. Microsoft badly needs usability testing.

Maybe web.skype.com will be better? Just a guess.

Anyway, that's how I use Skype when I still have to use it. Which is about once a month.

I didn’t know that existed. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Serious question: why not use FaceTime Audio (or something similar) these days?

Because the other side is on a land-line

Correct.
