Skype Messenger has grown in popularity, unaffected by the emergence of new competitors like Viber, Telegram, and WhatsApp in Internet telephony. It can be installed on desktop computers and portable digital devices, offering a free download with an intuitive interface for all users.

To begin using the service, the first step is creating a Skype account. This process requires linking the account to a mobile number, which all users may not prefer.

Providing your number during registration has its advantages and disadvantages. If you lose access to your Skype account, you can recover it without needing to create a new one. Simply use PVAPins to log in and restore your existing Skype account.

Requesting a phone number can deter users who are cautious about sharing personal information online. Unlike many other services that allow account creation without a phone number, Skype’s specific use of the phone number remains ambiguous. It may be used for account linking and targeted advertising purposes.

Using Skype allows you to communicate freely with people worldwide as long as there is an Internet connection available.

Here are the advantages of the service:

•  You can conduct individual and group video calls.
•  Create Skype groups for employees or clients to enhance productivity.

You can create a Skype account and sign up for the service without using a phone number. There are two methods: registration via email and through a virtual number.

Creating a Skype account using email.

To create a Skype account using only an email address, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Microsoft marketplace and select the Skype program to install on your device.

2. Launch Skype.

3. The registration form will appear. Create a unique username and enter it in the provided field.

4. If prompted with a login recognition issue, click on ‘Create an account.

5. Choose to use an existing email account.

6. Enter your email address and set a password for Skype access.

7. Provide your first and last names in the respective fields.

8. A confirmation code will be sent to your email. Enter the code to complete registration.

9. You can create a Skype account without providing a phone number, allowing immediate use of the service after registration.

To create a Skype account using the mobile app, follow these steps:

1. Open the app and navigate to the registration page.

2. Tap on ‘Create account.

3. Select the option to use a valid email address.

4. Enter your email address and tap “Continue”.

5. Choose a password and enter it.

7. Retrieve the verification code from your email and paste it into the required field.

8. Complete the captcha, although this step may not always be necessary.

Once registration in the Skype application is finished, you can add contacts and start chatting. However, it’s incorrect to assume that you can easily bypass the system and avoid providing a phone number. Skype will prompt you through multiple dialog boxes to enter your phone number.

If a user prefers not to disclose their personal contact information in the system but still wants to use Skype, they can opt for a virtual number. Numerous internet services provide this option, with PVAPins offering advantageous terms for phone rentals.

You have the option to select a phone number from over 70 countries, with each number combination costing 2 rubles. Here’s how you can utilize the service.
