Start looking for Skype alternatives if you have an older OS on your phone

Skype is prepping to move its messaging service forward this fall, but doing so means leaving older OSes behind. Soon, phones running certain versions of Windows Phone, Android and iOS will no longer receive updates for Skype, allowing the service to instead focus on more popular (and recent) operating systems and transition to a more mobile-compatible cloud infrastructure, the company announced today.Specifically, Windows Phones running Windows Phone 8.1 or older will no longer be supported. iO
