Why can't I make calls to India from India?

Important: Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available. Sign in to Microsoft Teams Free on any supported device using your Skype credentials and your contacts and chats will automatically be transferred. You will also receive a notification in the Skype app prompting you to take action to migrate your data. Learn more about Skype's retirement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Calling within India from Skype to mobiles and landlines is no longer available.

You can still make free Skype to Skype calls within India, and you can still call mobiles and landlines in India from outside the country (as well as make calls from India to other countries). You can also use any Skype Credit you currently have to send SMS messages to your contacts.

If you've bought a subscription to India specifically to call within the country, we recommend you cancel your subscription to avoid being billed in the future.
