•If you press E, R or any other key that displays both a letter and a number, you see both matching names and numbers onscreen.

•If your company uses Microsoft Exchange Server with a Global Address List (GAL), entering the contact search information returns matching results from the GAL as well. GAL results appear with the icon next to the name.

Dial a Skype contact

If you set up a Skype account on your smartphone (see Create or sign in to a Skype account), you can use Skype to call other Skype users.

To call a Skype contact, you must have an entry for the person in Contacts with a Skype ID (see Contacts). Calls to other Skype users are free of charge.

NOTE You can participate in a conference call, but you cannot initiate a Skype conference call from your smartphone.

Use Skype to dial an international number

If you set up a Skype account on your smartphone (see Create or sign in to a Skype account), you can use Skype to make international calls. The numbers you call do not need to be associated with a contact.

You can choose to use Skype for all international calls, or to be prompted whether to use Skype or your wireless service provider account for a given call (see Set your international dialling method).

Calls to international numbers are subject to Skype charges and require a Skype credit balance.

TIP To check if you have a Skype credit balance, do the following: Open Phone, open the application menu and tap Check Skype Credit. If you don’t see this menu item, it means you are not logged into your Skype mobile account. Do this instead: Open Phone, open the application menu, and tap Preferences & Accounts. Under Accounts, tap Skype and tap Sign In. Your Skype credit balance appears under Skype Credit.
