Why can’t I make Skype calls?

Skype is a widely used video calling application that enables global connectivity but may encounter accessibility hurdles. In some regions, access to Skype is restricted to promote local communication services or to maintain oversight of international communications. Additionally, educational and corporate environments might block Skype to minimize distractions and optimize network usage. These limitations can be particularly challenging for individuals who depend on Skype for professional meetings or to maintain contact with loved ones across distances.

Lantern provides an effective solution to navigate these obstacles and unlock Skype from any location. By routing your connection through Lantern's extensive network, you can circumvent barriers and ensure seamless audio and video communication on Skype. Whether you're facing geographical restrictions or network constraints, Lantern enables you to stay connected with your professional network and family, ensuring uninterrupted communication.
