Skype Lite
Skype Lite is a lightweight version of the popular Skype software, specifically designed to meet the needs of the Indian market. It is optimized for use in areas with poor network reception and low 4G data transfer speeds. This version of Skype serves as a useful alternative to other communication platforms like WeChat and WhatsApp.
Basic Tools and Features
Skype Lite functions as a more streamlined version of the standard Skype app. It is faster and more efficient, especially in terms of battery usage. The app includes a feature known as 'Eco Calling' that reduces data consumption while streaming, even supporting video calls. These capabilities were often unavailable with the traditional Skype service in India. Additionally, Skype Lite includes specialized 'bots' tailored to the specific needs of users in this region. The app is available for download via the Google Play Store.
Other Functions
This lightweight version retains the core features of Skype, providing a similar user experience in a more efficient package. Users can also track their data usage across both cellular and Wi-Fi networks, helping them manage their monthly data bills. Currently, Skype Lite is only available to customers in India.
Please note: Skype Lite is currently available exclusively in India.
