Make a Call


There are four ways to make a call using Skype:

  • Select a Skype Name to highlight it, and click the big green Call button to initiate a call.

    This assumes that you have already added the name of the person to your Skype Contacts list or have identified the contact using Search.

  • Double-click a Skype Name in the Skype Contacts list.

    This assumes that you have already added the name of the person you wish to call to your Skype Contacts list. If your Skype preferences are set to initiate a call when you double-click, the call will be initiated. Otherwise, a chat window will open, and you need to click the big green Call button. To change your preferences, see "Set Your Preferences" earlier in this chapter.

  • Right-click a Skype Name, and select? Call from the context menu. (Mac users: Control-click a Skype Name and select Call from the context menu.)

    This assumes that you have already added the name of the person to your Skype Contacts list or have identified the contact using Search.

  • Type a Skype Name or conventional phone number, and click the big green Call button.

    You can make calls to traditional phone numbers if you have purchased SkypeOut credit. For more information, see the following section.
