      I just choose not to use apps which give backdoor to government agencies.

      Now, how do I avoid Google?

            I stopped using it when I got fed up on thinking what account I had with it after MSN connected with skype I had 2-3 different accounts. But well it's the time when My country sold Skype to MS.

                  It's a shame that Skype Lite isn't available in all countries... But if you download it from somewhere else it works anyway. ;-)

                    And still sucks hard, takes a lot of time to load each time on a high end device.
                    Its still way behind WhatsApp and messenger....

                          Any break down on these numbers? Seems a little high given I don't know of any Asian companies using Skype (internally or working with customers). Maybe all of the phone devices are counted and not actual people?

                              I know of multiple Fortune Global 500 companies who use Skype (for Business) the same way
