your XFINITY and Skype address books and delete contacts from both.
• When you block a contact from calling or messaging you via Skype on XFINITY, the change is also
reected on your XFINITY and Skype contacts online.
Helpful Hints for Available Contacts
• If contacts set their status to Do Not Disturb, this is just a way to let you know that they would
prefer not to be contacted at the moment. However, they will still appear in your Available contacts
list and you can still call or message them. Learn more about statuses in Update Your Status on
pages 37-38.
