Dialing SkypeOut Phone Numbers

 

You can dial any regular phone number (SkypeOut) from the keypad using the following format:

 

00 + country code + area code + phone number + SEND

For example, a phone number in the United States would be dialed:

00 1 310 555 1212 then SEND

 

00	Tells Skype you are making a SkypeOut call
1	Country Code
310	Area Code
555 1212	Phone Number
SEND	Sends the phone number to Skype and places the call

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 SEND to place the call.

 

For example to call "12 Nastassia", dial: 12 then press SEND
