The more the merrier

It’s easy to add more people to your contact list.

Add friends and family who use Skype to your contact list by using the easy-to-use search function. Then you can make free Skype-to-Skype calls, chat away with instant messages and send text messages – but that’s just the start.

Add people who don’t have Skype

Don’t limit yourself to just friends and family who already use Skype. Add contacts’ telephone numbers to your contact list (as opposed to Skype contacts who have Skype installed) – you can then call their phone or cell phone at pretty cheap rates with SkypeOut™. This means you can call anyone, anywhere in the world at great low rates.
