Move From Skype to Sayfone in 10 Minutes [Step-by-Step]

When Microsoft finally pulled the plug on Skype, millions of us were left wondering what’s next. If you relied on it for international calls, the search for a Skype replacement may feel like déjà vu - installing yet another app, re-adding contacts, resetting caller ID.

The good news: you can move from Skype to Sayfone in under 10 minutes. No bloated bundles, no monthly subscription, just fast calls that work. Here’s your action plan.

Here’s how to move from Skype to Sayfone in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Backup What You Need from Skype

Even if you’re done with Skype, don’t leave empty-handed:

• Visit Skype's export page.
• Download your conversations and files archive.
• Save it to your desktop for reference.

This keeps your old records in case you ever need them.

Step 2: Sign Up on Sayfone

• Visit Sayfone.com.
• Click Get Started.
• Click Sign Up. Enter your details (email + password).
• Confirm your account.

Done - no app store, no installer.

Step 3: Choose Caller ID (Private or Public)

This is where Sayfone gives you options Skype never did:

• Private number: If you want anonymity, calls show up as “Private.”
• Public number: Pick a verified number so friends, family, or clients recognize you instantly.

Toggle anytime in your dashboard.

Step 4: Add Credits

Sayfone runs on a pay-as-you-go model.

• Log into your account.
• Click Add Credits.
• Choose how much to top up (start small if you’re testing).

No subscription renewals. No surprises.

Step 5: Place a Test Call

• Enter any number (domestic or international).
• Hit Call.
• Confirm audio clarity, caller ID preference, and credit deduction.

That’s your live proof you’ve fully migrated.

Common Gotchas to Avoid

• Leaving Skype subscriptions active: Log into your Microsoft account and cancel auto-renewals.
• Confusion about contacts: Sayfone doesn’t import them. Just dial numbers directly - simple and universal.
• Caller ID mismatch: If you’re testing public caller ID, verify your number in settings first.
