This brand new version for the IM app is the v5.4.0.4165. Skype is considered one of the most popular instant messaging applications on the market, of course next to other IM giants such as LINE, Viber, WeChat and more. This app can be used for all Android devices.
Skype offers users the possibility of initiating free audio & video calls. This can be done on a landline number and on a cell number. In order for these calls to be free, both users must use Skype, if not they have to pay a small price for the calls.
Besides Android, the app also functions on Microsoft Windows and Linux, Mac and iOS and of course Windows devices. Back in 2003, Skype was initially launched by a man called Dane Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström. Then eBay came along and bought the app for USD $2.6 billion. Afterwards, it was Microsoft’s turn to buy Skype for $8.5 billion. And ever since this acquisition took place, Skype has plenty of advertisements which they propagandize constantly.
