Subject: Upgrade from Messenger to Skype
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 07:58:20 +0000
Keep chatting with all your Messenger contacts.
Hello,
Starting April 8th, we will begin upgrading customers from Messenger to Skype. The process will take a
few weeks to complete. April 8th is the first day you may be required to upgrade. This is a bit later than
the March 15th date we previously mentioned to some of you as we wanted to give you more time to
make the transition.
To keep chatting with your Messenger contacts, simply upgrade to the latest version of Skype using the
instructions below and sign in using a Microsoft account (this is the same ID you use to sign into
Messenger). Once signed in, your contacts will already be there. You'll be able to instant message and
make video calls with them just like before, and start discovering new ways of staying in touch, including
Skype on your mobile or tablet.

Yours sincerely,

Is this happening everywhere?
We are retiring Messenger globally with the exception of mainland China.
What can you get in Skype?
• Instant message, share files and contacts; send funny emoticons, access your chat history from
virtually anywhere and even send a message to your contacts when they're offline
• Instant message, video and audio call from more devices: PC, Mac, Windows Phone, iPhone,
iPad, Android mobile, Kindle Fire and other devices
• Instant message and video call with your Facebook friends
• Group video call with up to ten friends at once'
• And that's just the start - there's so much to explore on Skype
Upgrade now
So, what's happening between now and the upgrade?
Messenger will continue to work as you know it today. If you are signed in with Messenger on your
Windows and Mac desktops" you will see a banner notification to upgrade. When you click on the
banner, an installer window will open with the request to upgrade, this will take you through our installer
flow, to install Skype and automatically uninstall Messenger.
So, what's happening after the upgrade?
Messenger users on Windows and Mac desktops" will not be able to sign in and will only be able to
upgrade to Skype. If you attempt to sign in, a notification will appear, and if you continue, you will be
taken through our installer flow, to install Skype and automatically uninstall Messenger at the same time.
Can I upgrade to Skype on my mobile or tablet?
Yes. Skype is available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone 8. While you can still use
Messenger on your mobile until a future date, we encourage you to download the latest version of
Skype on your mobile or tablet. You will be able to sign into Skype on your iPhone, iPad, Android,
Windows Phone 8 mobile apps with your Microsoft account over the next few weeks.
Where can I ask questions or provide feedback?
