Looking for a Skype alternative? Here’s Why Invoco’s Your Best Bet

After nearly two decades of shaping the way we communicate online, Skype is officially shutting down this May. Once the go-to platform for personal and business calls, Skype’s decline has been on the cards for a while—especially with Microsoft’s growing focus on Teams. For users still relying on Skype for VoIP services, this news could be a major disruption… but Invoco can be used as a reliable Skype alternative!

Why Is Skype Shutting Down?

Skype revolutionised communication in the early 2000s, bringing free and low-cost voice and video calling to millions worldwide. But in recent years, Microsoft has shifted its priorities, especially in business environments. As more users have migrated, Skype usage has dwindled, prompting Microsoft to pull the plug in May 2025.

While this move may make sense from a product consolidation standpoint, it leaves many individuals, small businesses, and even some larger organisations scrambling for an alternative. The good news is, we can assist you in keeping your Skype number and setting you up with a custom solution to suit your needs.

Invoco isn’t just another VoIP provider. We’re a full-service virtual telephony platform designed to help businesses streamline their communication, stay agile, and never miss a call.

Here’s how Invoco can help you move forward after Skype:

✅ Keep Your Skype numbers by porting them to us – But act now!

If you’re worried about losing the phone number you’ve had for years, don’t be. Invoco allows you to port your existing Skype numbers, so your clients and customers can still reach you without any confusion – but there’s a catch. Porting must be done before Skype shuts down in May. Once the service is discontinued, those numbers could be lost for good. If your number is important to your business or personal brand, it’s critical to begin the porting process immediately to avoid any disruption or permanent loss. Please bear in mind, we can port the majority of the numbers throughout the UK, however international numbers must be assessed and there is no guarantee we can port your international numbers.

📞 Powerful Call Management

Unlike Skype, Invoco offers advanced call management tools: advanced AI powered metrics, call routing, voicemail-to-email, call recording, call analytics, and more. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or managing a multi-line setup across departments, Invoco puts you in control.

🛠 Easy Setup, No Hardware Required

Invoco is cloud-based and works with softphones, mobile apps, and standard VoIP handsets. That means you can set up your virtual phone system in minutes—no expensive hardware, complicated wiring, or IT headaches. If you can navigate Skype, the Invoco Platform is light work!

🌍 Ideal for Remote Teams

With employees increasingly working from different locations, flexibility is key. Invoco lets your team make and receive calls from anywhere, while still presenting a unified company presence.
