I'm not interested in forming :"links" or creating "groups" or lists of favourites, just open the site, select the keyboard option and dial the number, which I may never need to use again, as I have with Skype for over 20 years. ( yes, I have had to occasionally top up my account, but 0800 numbers to the USA from my NZ base were free anyway, on Skype ) I have for long objected to Microsoft forever changing everything, if it wasn't broke why fix it ? This is a disaster, to my US wife and myself at least,

Any suggestions please ?
The closest to Skype that I know of, and have known quite a few people using it in preference to Skype, is Viber.
