Calling Skype contacts on Skype is always free - but to call a mobile phone or landline through Skype requires Skype Credit or a subscription.
- Find the person you want to call from your Contacts
list.
- Select the contact you want to call, and then select the audio
or video
button. If you want to make a group call, simply add another participant.
- If the person you want to make an audio call to has a Skype Number or landline added to their account, you have the option to call that number using Skype Credit or your Skype subscription.
- At the end of a call, select the end call
button to hang up.
Tip: You can also quickly turn any chat into a call - just select the audio
or video
button from your chat.
Note: If you've synced your mobile address book with your Skype contact list, you can also make Skype calls right from your device's contact list. Just tap the Skype button next to the person you want to call. (Available in Skype on Android (6.0+), iPhone and iPad).
