Never signed up for Skype. Always had questions about its’ security.

I have T-Mobile $30 a month flat rate account (no tax). I get 5gb data and only 100 minutes of talk. I use Skype to make phone calls. You pay for a Skype # that costs $30 a year. Data use is 1 to 3mb per minute of phone call.
5gb is 5 thousand mbs so I get around that 100 minute limit easily. The calls are clear.

Skype works wherever you have a good data connection. I use the T-Mobile minutes only when I do not have that data connection which is not very often.

T-Mobile has more expensive plans but I figure I save at least $40 a month as T-Mobile offers unlimited talk at that price with the 5gb data plan. $80 for unlimited everything plus tax so nearer to $80 and $90 a month.

The only drawback to the $30 plan is that T-Mobile will give preference to the higher paying customers for data connection speed.

This is not unexpected - I knew Skype was in trouble when Microsoft took over...
