Have someone to talk to
It’s no fun being alone – 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 you've got a handy list of people to start calling, instant messaging and making free video calls to.
Skype Name Your Skype Name is your unique name on Skype – share it to build your contact list.
Status Use your status settings to let others know about your online availability, and see at a glance if your friends are available for a chat.
Add Skype contacts and phone numbers Save contacts who use Skype and others using phones and mobiles so you can click-to-call instead of having to search for a name or type in a number.
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.
Organise your contacts Sort your contacts into handy categories 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.
Remember, the more people that join you on Skype means the more people you can talk to for free. Don’t forget you can always meet new people using Public IMs.
