Microsoft doesn’t support Skype for Windows Phone 7

Everybody who installs software on Windows Phone 7 personal mobile devices for won’t be authorized.

In few weeks, Microsoft is going to stop supporting Skype for Windows Phone 7 devices. According to the technical support program site, software will not be available "in any form" for the seventh version of mobile platform.

In the report, the company warns that users who have already installed Skype on their mobile devices running Windows Phone 7 will no longer be able to go through the authorization process in service.

According to Microsoft, the reason for the refusal to renovate the support program for Windows Phone 7 is the desire “to provide users with a better version of Skype”. For that reason, the company is permanently retiring all Skype apps for Windows Phone 7.

In particular, they want to improve the information security methods, functionality and protection of each user data.

It is known that the owners of the devices, based on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1, as well as other mobile operating systems will be able to continue the program.

OUR POINT
Windows Phone 7 is rather new OS and still holds the ground for many users worldwide. Microsoft pushing their customers to update the old version. Therefore, the end users will get the new functionalities and better support for their devices. At the same time, while they aggressively make this changes,  the users, who are very loyal to Skype might consider changing it. SafeUM will be an excellent alternative.
