Mobile and web communication technology has seemingly been growing day by day. What is available on one platform is also accessible on another. This fashion begins with the arrival of smartphones, and then there was no stopping!
All the popular chat clients have developed apps so that users can communicate on the small screen of their smartphones. But for this, they have to create an account by registering their email ids and mobile numbers. Skype has done something unique by allowing users to make Skype calls without creating an account.
This certainly captures attention of all, who don’t want to share their personal information like mobile numbers and email ids (just to avoid carpet-bombing from marketing agencies and service providers).
One of the biggest benefits of Skype calls without creating an account is that users are not supposed to download any app or software on their mobile or laptop. They can send messages, enjoy video calls, group chat, voice calls, share photos and files, and send emoticons and mojis on their web browsers.
