skype4pidgin has never supported it. Among all the plenty of protocol implementations that exist for Pidgin, only the XMPP one seems to support calls (and even it is often incompatible with other XMPP clients). The reason is simple: calling is much harder to implement than texting.

It was being worked on but there has been no update for a couple of years #349
