Skype Number Alternative
Looking for a Skype alternative now that Microsoft no longer offers Skype numbers? Get a phone number in any city of choice from $1.79 per month and unlock features Skype never had.
Sonetel provides virtual numbers in 80 countries and already serves paying customers in over 170 countries. It’s the straightforward, budget-friendly alternative.
How Sonetel Compares to Skype
If you’re a long-time Skype user, you know that Skype recently stopped selling new phone numbers and credits. Before that change, a US Skype number typically cost $50/year. In contrast, you can get a US virtual number from Sonetel starting at just $1.79/month—a significant saving over what Skype was charging.
On top of that, Sonetel offers:
- Flexible monthly plans
For more features select the Premium or Business plan. Prices start from $9.95 per month and provide free calls to 40+ countries, free phone numbers, AI services, voice response and more. - AI-driven features
