Setting up a Skype Contact List
Your Contact List displays all of the names you can make calls to. If you have an existing Skype account, your Contact List is automatically downloaded when you sign in. If you are a new Skype user, your Contact List is empty and you will need to set up a Contact List.
When you add a name to your list, an authorization request is sent to the user. This is to protect the privacy of all users. The user can accept or deny your request. If 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 and they can view yours, if you have created your personal profile.
