Chapter 4: Managing Contacts

Your Skype Contacts display all the names you can make calls to. If you are new to Skype and have just created a new account, your Contacts will be empty. You need to find the names of users and add them to your list.

Skype protects the privacy of users by requiring contact details that are added to Contacts. When you want to add a contact to your list, a contact details request is sent to the user. The user can accept or deny the request. When 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.

Skype allows you to also block Contacts that you have previously shared details with. When you block a contact, you will always appear offline to them and they will not be able to call you.
