Users of Messenger have started receiving emails from the Messenger team urging them to “upgrade to Skype”, stating that April 8th would be the day when people “may be required to upgrade to Skype”, indicating that the upgrade would most likely be forceful and mandatory. Not only that, Microsoft is also pushing for early adopted, enticing them with promises of one month of free calls to select countries in the Latin America on landline and cellular phones.
The upgrade is not a complicated matter at all, and should you wish to jump the bandwagon sooner than later, all you need to do is sign in to the traditional Skype application on your PC with your Microsoft account. Once validated, you will be able to change the contact view to list only your Messenger contacts, Skype ones, or a unified view of all.

The move from Messenger to Skype is being received with somewhat skepticism, but on the face of it, it looks like a logical move. After all, why maintain two platforms that essentially serve the same purpose, when you can deliver the same experience through one. Skype, being the superior of the two, was bound to win, and we’ll wait to see how this move plays out for Microsoft in terms of user feedback.
