Try using Jitsi, it's opensource and you don't have to install anything.
Can you reactivate them? https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10378/how-do-i-reactivate-skype-credit

You only need to pay to dial phone numbers. Not to use the free voice and video chat.
That being said, Skype is owned by Microsoft and they have come out recently that they are recording everything you say over skype and will terminate all your Microsoft accounts if you say something they disagree with.

But like why would you need to put money into it? Just do the free video chats.

They pay for calling phone numbers. I still have some credits in it. It was the cheapest option when I needed to make some phone calls to Buttfuckistan
