What are alternatives to Skype for calling landlines in Germany from Thailand at low cost?

@Darren *********

You smugly said "practically any phone app", and then you come up with the most obvious Google Voice, which is not available outside of US lmao

Must have plenty of customers eh? Especially with such cool website 5555

@en***

and actually, I’ve got plenty of customers because of my seriously cool website. Jealous?

@Darren *********

jealous after what you presented about yourself? Not really 😂😂😂

enjoy your sad life pal

@en***

so Google voice is not available outside of the US? Then how have I been using it in Southeast Asia for the past 10 years? And since English is not your first language, I’ll explain further. I said I’ll give you one app the rest you can Google. Reading is fundamental.

@Darren *********

just how do you call your bank

@Glenn ****

I dial their number 

@Darren *********

I stand corrected, you quite clearly are absolute king of this kind of stuff. Ps, still 21st century

@Robert **********************

not a king. I’m just not stupid.

@Darren *********

still it's the 21st century

He's a buffoon. Also, I'm late to the party, but did he edit his comment several times to try and save face? A buffoon and a maroon.

I’ve been using Google Voice for years. There are also several other options. Google it.

@Alison *******

you were confusing technologies. One is a phone number and the other is a communication software. Microsoft teams is an application that you have to login by email. You do not need a phone number or use a phone number when you use teams. If you want a phone number there are many services that can give you a phone number. Perhaps you should look at an eSIM. It’s a software version of a phone SIM. You can create tons of fake numbers all getting forwarded to you.

@Wayne *******

OK. So I was off two years.

@Pablo *******

never heard of them. Any good? Skype only cost me 4 usd per month for my needs. Basically I just needed usa mobile number for two factor authentication for my usa banks and the occasional call to usa gov office or bank

@Mel *****

Yola is working well for me here in Thailand for calls to USA. Next month I will be in the states for a visit. I will put Yola to the test.

@Pablo *******

it allows sms text from banks for two factor authorisation ?

i am not sure yet ?

@Elías *******

no I meant it is in the news today.

They stopped the “buy credit” and introduced “monthly subscriptions” but today it was announced that Skype (except Skype Business) is being terminated in the next couple of months. 🤷‍♂️

@Sue *********

I can't even sign in to Teams currently
