Skype is a program that essentially turns your computer into a phone and allows you to make calls over the Internet to other Skype users. Because the connection is established over the Web, Skype-to-Skype calls are completely free of charge, and this is why phone companies do not want you to know about Skype. You can use Skype to call people as close by as your neighbors or as far away as someone on the opposite side of the globe. [. . . ] In order to use this feature, simply purchase a headset and plug it into the phone. Then you can use the phone to make and receive Skype calls as you normally do. CHAPTER 6: USING YOUR PHONE 23 Making and Receiving Calls Skype-to-Skype calls are completely free of charge. Making and receiving calls is easy, especially with your NT-W100D because it behaves like a mobile phone. Remember that during any call, you can press to control the phone's volume. Answering and Refusing Skype Calls If it is properly connected and if SkyMagic is running, your phone will always ring when you have an incoming Skype call. You then have the option of either answering the phone and talking to the caller, or refusing it if for some reason you do not want to take the call. This simply hangs up on the caller. Press to answer the call. Press to refuse the call. Calling From Your Contact List In order to call someone from your contact list, you must first add his or her Skype name to your contact list. For instructions about how to add Skype users, refer to Appendix A. Press to display your contacts on the phone screen. to place a call to the desired Skype user. CHAPTER 6: USING YOUR PHONE 24 Calling From Your Call History If you want to call a Skype contact who you spoke to on your phone recently, you can call him or her from your call history rather than having to scroll through all of the people on your contact list. Press to display your call history on the phone screen. 2. Scroll with the same buttons to select an entry. Press to place a call to the desired Skype user. Calling Using Speed Dial If there are Skype contacts whom you talk to frequently, using speed dial is the most convenient way of calling them. Speed dial works on your phone like it does on a mobile or home phone. To call someone using speed dial, you must first assign him or her a speed dial number. For instructions about how to do this, see Appendix B. Use the numbers on your phone to dial the speed dial number of the Skype contact whom you want to call. Your Skype window will open on your computer. Press to place a call to the desired Skype user. CHAPTER 6: USING YOUR PHONE 25 Making SkypeOut Calls SkypeOut is a paid service provided by Skype that lets you call any phone number in the world. Because it uses an Internet connection instead of a phone line, longdistance calling rates are significantly lower. You might want to use SkypeOut if your friends do not have Skype, if they are offline, or if you want to save money on your long-distance calls. To buy Skype Credit to make SkypeOut calls, refer to Appendix C. On your phone, use the button to dial + and then the the country code and phone number you are trying to reach.
