This is a great Ask HN, I'm excited to read any input the community has to provide. To be totally honest though, I didn't realize Skype was still a separate service.

I'm not personally aware of any SIP / VOIP solution that would include specific Apps and such - love to know more!

I don’t need something as vertically integrated as Skype: I’d be totally happy to install a generic soft phone app if I can get SIP service from somebody. I’d be happy with some non-SIP protocol too.

To Skype’s credit the customer journey of setting up the account and paying for the service is great (10x faster than getting a cell activated), it’s the calls that are going downhill.
