Re: alternatives to Skype?
Yes, and even better, they have call-in phone numbers in many countries. All call-in numbers take one to the sam conference system. Their free system only permits conferences up to one hour in length, and a maximum of 15 attendees. Their paid service permits unlimited length conferences, and the lowest paid service permits up to 50 attendees (if memory serves). They are not very expensive, and a paid account lasts 30 days per pay period (as of a year ago). I believe they also have annual plans.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
When I downloaded Zoom, I just searched under Zoom in the app store, so if it were available, you would probably have found it. I haven't used Hangouts much, maybe that's another option I should take a look at. I've spent the better part of the day trying to create a custom Voicemail greeting in Skype, including enlisting my sighted husband's help, with no success. I can't even imagine what' those idiots at Microsoft are thinking.

As a matter of fact yes it does. Don’t remember it off hand but what happens is this. The caller dials the phone number and punches in the meating ID you give them. That’s all there is to it.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
I, too, must admit to liking Skype less and less. I use FaceTime quite a lot when speaking with other Apple users and WhatsApp when talking to anyone else. Another app that I use on a weekly basis is Appear.in . It allows you to do screensharing and up to eight people at a time can be in a private chat room. The app can be used for free, but if you buy their premium package (which I have not) you get more bandwidth and probably other options. One advantage one has with appear.in is that you don’t need any special app to use it. It works just by using your Internet browser’s capabilities. I have a question about Zoom: Most of the people I work with are sighted. Does Zoom allow you to do screen sharing and share PowerPoint presentations in real-time?

Hi David and Ray, Does Zoom give you the option of having a phone number that people can call? Thanks very much for the suggestion.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
Hi Kawal, I feel your pain. I have to use Skype for Business at my day job, too, and I don't like it either. I swear Microsoft just ruins everything they touch. The problem with Face time is that it only works with other apple products. I use Skype in my coaching business. So I need a solution that isn't Apple limited.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
Zoom is the up-and-coming teleconferencing app. It works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. It is rather accessible with developers who keep accessibility in mind during development and updates. Several organisations that I communicate or work with use Zoom. I encourage organisations which do not use Zoom to change. Amongst other reasons, Zoom is one of the least expensive apps, yet has a very robust feature set.

alternatives to Skype?
Hi, all, I seem to have kinda sorta resolved the voicemail issue in that I was able to leave myself one and successfully retrieve it. This makes me think that perhaps the person who thought they had left a voice message had called a wrong number. That said, I've been liking Skype less and less since Microsoft bought it. Just curious if anyone is using an alternative app? If so, what? I know about GoogleVoice, but wonder about its longevity, and also have not been happy with the call quality.
