After Skype was deprecated, you can continue to use your existing Skype Credit by using the Skype Web Portal: https://calling.web.skype.com/ which remains open.

I have some Skype credit left and got a message from MS today that it is about to be deactivated. The problem is that my Teams app cannot call telephone numbers. From which website can I safely reinstall Skype on my Windows laptop?
Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams Free | Calls

https://calling.web.skype.com/
Just be sure to sign in to this site with exactly the same account as you have used with Skype.
In the case your credit has expired due to not being used within the last 180 days, your credit can be reactivated using this reactivation site:

2025-12-02T16:27:54.9066667+00:00 Have you signed in to the Skype Dial Pad site with exactly the same account as you have used with Skype?
Can you see your credit available now on the credit reactivation site?
