Use Skype to dial a phone number

You can use Skype to make an international or domestic call to a phone number. The number you call does not need to be associated with a contact.

You can choose to use Skype for all calls to phone numbers, or to be prompted whether to use Skype or a connected HP webOS smartphone for a given call (see Set your dialing method).

Calls to phone 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

&Video Calls, 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 account.
