Skype slowly going away. Need alternatives

So I run most of my business of skype but they just removed text messages. Still can't believe it and slowly I think they will start to remove the service. Does anyone else use something similar except google voice? I heard of the app text & call now but never used. I do have an international plan with verizon but living in bali the phone connection is awful and skype was just so well rounded. Any help please.
