Chapter 4: Managing Contacts

Your Skype Contacts display all the names you can make calls to. If you are new

to Skype and have just created a new account, your Contacts will be empty. You

need to find the names of users and add them to your list.

Skype protects the privacy of users by requiring contact details that are added

to Contacts. When you want to add a contact to your list, a contact details

request is sent to the user. The user can accept or deny the request. When a

request is accepted, you can see when the contact is online and make calls to

them. You can also view their personal profile details.

Skype allows you to also block Contacts that you have previously shared details

with. When you block a contact, you will always appear offline to them and they

will not be able to call you.

Adding a Contact

To add a new contact name to your Contacts, you can either search for the name

or enter the name directly. Follow these steps:

1. Press the Left Soft Key to select the menu and use the Navigation key to

scroll down and select “Add Contact.”

2. From the Add Contact menu, select “Skype” to set up a Skype name.
