Skype's days are numbered, as the Skype apps are now warning users that the service will be going away on May 5, and that existing users should migrate to Teams.
You can do this using JMP Chat, which bridges phone numbers to XMPP. Unfortunately, it’s USA and Canada only, for now.
Alternatively, you can use a “SIP Trunk Provider”. For instance, in the UK, Andrews and Arnold offers this service. You can then connect any compatible SIP client (e.g. Gnome Calls).

In the same boat. Not even just old people; I need to call 800 numbers but it would cost me a ton from Japan. Guess I’m doing that Monday night.
I don’t think Skype numbers are supported as well anymore, but many people rely on services for their US banks and stuff for 2fa as well.
Not FOSS but you can check Google Voice and see if the pricing for the country you need to call is convenient
