Skype is no longer available on Windows Phone 8.1 devices.

In order to be able to use Skype on a Windows Phone device, this phone must be updated to Windows 10 with at least Anniversary update.

Thanks for replying Ruwim.B!

Yeah. Thought as much when I had to use Windows 10 as the tag for the question.

As you can probably tell I don't keep up much with the upgrades haha

Just realised that my phone also is not available for update to Windows 10 either, so new phone time

Thanks again

 This is just unbelievable when the microsoft brand does not support its own software, Microsoft just keeps on disappointing.

NEVER going to buy  any products from this brand.... Hello Linux!

How to legally steal from thousands of people, just promise the most amazing phone ever and do nothing of the sorts retire from mobile industry 3 year later and just leave the customers who's hard earned money you already have in your sockets, hanging....

You should be ashamed!!!utterly ridiculous.

I noticed there are many apps in the store that don`t work anymore or cannot be downloaded! Just remained there like in an abandoned show-window! Why they don`t care when people paid a lot of money to buy their products?!? And what a misery support is! And why they are running last period to throw away their customers still remained with them using their OS?!? As I knew, these phones still must be supported, they are not even 5 years old!!!
