Have someone to talk to
It’s no fun to be alone on Skype – build your contact list and interact with your friends.
The best way to get started on Skype is to spend a little time adding people to your contact list. Then it’s much easier to start calling, instant messaging and making video calls.
Skype Name Your Skype Name is your unique name on Skype – share it to build your contact list.
Presence Use presence settings to let others know about your online availability and see at a glance if your friends are available for a chat.
Add Skype and SkypeOut™ contacts Add contacts who use Skype and those who still use phones and mobiles so you can call everyone easily.
Contact list Manage your contact list and interact with contacts – simply click the contact’s name to see how you can get in touch.
Import contacts Search your address books to find friends and family who are already on Skype and start calling them for free.
Find contacts on MySpace Add your MySpace friends to your Skype contact list so you’ve got even more people to talk to for free.
Update your profile Fill out your profile with all your details so friends can find you. Add additional contact numbers so they can call or text you when you’re not on Skype.
Group your contacts Put your contacts into handy groups so you can easily find and contact the people you are after.
View Outlook® contacts View and call your Microsoft Outlook® contacts quickly and directly from your contact list.
