Post-Skype calling
Teams replaced Skype for meetings. FiraPhone replaces the dial pad.
Microsoft retired Skype on May 5, 2025. The gap is not another chat app; it is a clean way to call landlines and mobiles when the other person only has a phone number.

Built around the old Skype job
Open a dial pad, enter a real phone number, see the rate, and call. No meeting room, tenant setup, or enterprise phone system to configure first.
Browser-first by default
A laptop and microphone are enough. That matters for remote workers, families abroad, and support teams that do not want another desktop app rollout.
Simple enough for personal calls
Prepaid credit keeps costs predictable for people calling relatives, clinics, banks, suppliers, and customers across borders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers. If you can't find what you're looking for, contact our support team.
FiraPhone is designed to replace the Skype dial pad job: calling landlines and mobiles from a computer. It is not trying to replace every Skype chat, meeting, or community feature. If you need quick paid calls to real phone numbers from a browser, that is the core use case.
FiraPhone uses WebRTC technology to enable voice calls directly from your web browser. Simply allow microphone access, enter the number you want to call, and click call. No downloads or installations required - it works on current versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Our listed destination rates start at £0.02/minute. You can view the current standard rate for each supported destination on the pricing page and use the calculator before adding balance. All pricing is in GBP (£).
No contracts whatsoever! FiraPhone is completely pay-as-you-go. Simply add prepaid calling balance when you need it and use it whenever you want. Unused balance remains available as long as your account is active.
Adding balance is easy. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely via Stripe. Choose from prepaid packages starting at £5.
Inbound virtual numbers are availability-request only right now. Sign in and use Dashboard > Virtual Numbers to request the country you need; support will follow up before any number is assigned or monthly charge is applied.
Call quality depends on your device, microphone, browser, internet connection, and the carrier route to the destination. For best results, use a stable connection, allow microphone access, and use headphones where possible.
Your connection to FiraPhone and the call media are encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols (TLS and SRTP). Note that once a call reaches the traditional phone network (PSTN), standard carrier handling applies, so calls are not end-to-end encrypted. FiraPhone does not record calls in the standard outbound calling flow.
You can reach us by email and via the live chat assistant on the site. We also have a help center with guides and FAQs. We aim to answer most questions within one business day.
