We’ve been listening to your feedback and are working to bring some of the most-requested features from Skype version 7 to version 8. To ensure customers have an uninterrupted Skype experience as we do this, Skype version 7 will continue to work for a
limited time. Stay tuned for updates on the final date for version 7. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to update now to avoid any future inconvenience.
Using 5.3.0.1 the keypad works in making the initial call but if I try to use the keypad after the call connects, for example a meeting id or an extension nothing happens. In 4.3 you could hear the tone from the keypress - in 5.3 nothing. It just does
not appear to work.
I hope that Skype will fix this soon! It is a disaster! An obvious defect with the new update, I suspect, as it used to work. Without the ability to use the keypad during a call Skype is useless for many purposes.

Keypad did not let me enter pin numbers or select menu options yesterday. Work day was ruined and stressful, had to revert to mobile with poor internal signal

I think they fixed it -- I'm using 7.38.0.101 and it worked for me.
Unfortunately the update came in the middle of an important call with no warning. I really don't appreciate that they would break my call with no warning and then make me wait minutes for the update to install before I could resume my call. Besides that,
they didn't apparently notify anyone of the fix. Not very professional in my opinion.
A friend of mine said that Viber is a good alternative. Anybody here use it?

The dial-pad worked fine for me in version 5.3.0.1, however yesterday I updated to 5.4.0.1 and the dial-pad no longer works. I am running on OpenSUSE 42.2.
