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 ?
As others have suggested. I too switched to Viber to connect with landlines, typically banks and tax issues etc as friends and family tend to have WhatsApp and the like. So far Viber has worked OK
