I dont want to use a mobile phone number

If you want to create an account, without creating a new email click here, and then click "Use your email instead"
-
for chatting with employees while at work.

@momurda Any chance you'd be willing to use anything other than skype. It really sucks.

There are a plethora of options for that... OpenFire, RocketChat, and a few others too.

@DustinB3403 Yes i know, but the company has been using it for a long time. We just hired a few new people, i cannot make them skype accounts like the others here have.
-
@momurda It is pretty much only used as a chat client between us, but people do use it for talking with friends/others while working as well.
would be totally ok with using our email domain as the account. But we cant do that either because we arent using Office365/Live/Hotmail/Whatever. You used to be able to make an account associated with an email address not owned by MS.

Welcome to the new, awful world of Skype.

Hope MS likes hundreds of millions of throwaway email addresses. Cause that's what they are forcing people to do with this stuff.

Helps them claim more users than they really have.

They already get that from all the users of MS Office Keycards. I have one client that only wants Office 20XX Home & Business. Well they want Word, Excel, and Outlook. So Home & Business is the best choice of MS Office product licenses.
Sadly I have yet to convince them to use any other product.
But It does mean I create a new random outlook.com email address each time.
