Chapter 4: Managing Contacts
Your Skype contact list displays all the names you can make calls to. If you are
new to Skype and have just created a new account, your contact list 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 authorization of names that are
added to a contact list. When you want to add a contact to your list, an
Authorization 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 authorized.
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 contact list, 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.
2. Use the Navigation key to scroll down and select “Add
Contact.”
3. From the Add Contact menu, select “Skype” to set up
a Skype name, or “Skype Out Number” to set up a
Skype Out name and number.
