Skype is one of the most famous apps that is used to communicate with others using text, video, and voice calls. You can find a person using Skype ID and invite them to chat with you. If that person accepts your invite, you can start texting or making calls with them. Skype has plenty of features including a conference call feature that allows you to make group calls on Skype.
