I'm desperate: What is a Skype alternative that doesn't suck and isn't iMessage?

The Japanese/Korean LINE messenger?

Pretty much WhatsApp like, chat client with video call, stickers, emoji, that sort of thing. Fairly popular all over Asia.

Been using it for 10+ years.

It has the same issue of needing a phone number. I actually have to use it daily myself since I live in Japan, and think it is a bad app (plus it has a lot of useless feature bloat).

Some of the stickers are nice though

l have swapped and reinstalled on many phones. I only need to use email address and PW to sign in.
