Now that Skype will shut down, i see a good chance to geht my family to switch to a better solution. In order to even have the chance to be accepted instead of just switching to teams i think it has to check the following goals:
- easy to use
- reliable
- direkt calling (called device will just ring)
- multi paltform (iOS, Android, iPad, Windws)
- group calls
- free to use (unfortunately)
I tried:
- Jami: unfortunatly was unreliable in my first two device test
- Jisti Meet: no direct calling
- Signal (already failed to convince all family members a view years back switching from Whatsapp, mabye this can be an new chance. But Videocalling infortunately is too often unreliable)

Signal has worked fine for me
I moved my family successfully to Signal a few years ago, and so far I’ve only very rarely encountered issues with video calls
Threema is a one time payment, then it’s “free” forever. You can get some google play gift cards and offer them to your family. It looks reliable and it has group calls.
