Re: Dualphone
no, you WERE informed. You just didn't understand the information.
Microsoft's problem here is that they should have looked at the API logs, built a list of accounts that were still using it, and sent a reminder message that stated "four years ago we told you that we were going to stop supporting the buggy pre-Microsoft peer-to-peer API and you are still using it. Don't be surprised if that old equipment stops without warning, and here is a place you can buy modern equipment"
As for your claim of it being a "Skype branded phone listed for sale on the Skype website" -- the Skype store was shut down in April 2015 so exactly where on the Skype website do you find it listed for sale? They don't have ANY hardware on their site, just software.
