Speed-Dial a Skype Contact (Mac)
You can dial any of your Skype Contacts directly from the phone's keypad using a speed-dial key sequence.
First, in Skype you need to rename the Skype Contact so that it begins with a two digit number. For example, Skype contact "Nastassia" is renamed "12 Nastassia".
Likewise, change any other Skype Contacts' names to begin with unique two digit numbers.
Then when you want to call a Skype Contact from your phone's keypad, just dial the two digit number you have assigned to that Contact, and press
to place the call.
For example to call "12 Nastassia", dial: 12 then press 
Put a Call on Hold

key. You can resume the call by pressing the
key again. To make a call while you have a call in progress:

- From the P1K Skype Phone's keypad, use the RIGHT / LEFT keys to toggle between the two calls. The current call is placed on hold and the call on hold is resumed
