With Skype down what is your alternative?
I'm using a number of different IM clients... but none is close to Skype in terms of reach, hangout probably being the closest one.
Do you have a preferred one?

- ekianjo 11y agoHave you tried Tox ?
- arunc 11y agoWe've been using qTox for quite sometime. Pretty stable for an alpha release. The only feature lacking is the non-persistent groups and group chats.
- mtokunaga 11y agoI would say Hangout is about the best and easiest for us and with external global people we work with and seems closest to Skype in terms of features. We like the desktop sharing and integrates fairly well with both iOS and Androids, can SMS and the most powerful feature to me is to call a user on their phone and add in.

- jhildings 11y agoFor text or voice? For voice Mumble is far much better and stable
