I liked the Skype Out function allowing you to call any phone from the Skype app using whatever WiFi or data you could find while traveling.

If anyone’s looking for the same functionality without anything complicated I did some research and ended up with the Viber app. It’s a social network which you don’t have to use at all, and provides the same function as Skype Out to call regular phones.

After Viber was pinged for delivering Pegasus spyware, I switched to RebTel. Works fine.

That wasn't a zero-click infection attempt. You had to actually click on the link to get infected. This could happen on any service that allows you to send links.
