Contact list
Your contact list displays all of the display 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 new to Skype and have just created an account, your contact list will be empty.
You will need to add contacts to your list (page 79).
Skype protects the privacy of users by requiring authorization on names that you wish to
add to your contact list. When you add a name to your list, you can decide whether to send
an authorization request to the user or not. The user can accept or deny the request.
When a request is accepted, you can see when the contact is online. You can also view
their personal profile details.
Important:
LYou can use up to 500 contacts. If you have more than 500 contacts, the handset cannot
be synchronized with your existing contacts, and you need to reduce contacts on your
computer (page 104).
