Using Skype Speed-Dial

Assigning a Speed-Dial Number

Use your computer to set a Skype speed-dial number.

1. Double-click the Skype icon in your system tray to open the Skype program.

2. In your Contacts list, right-click a contact and select Set Speed-Dial.

3. Enter a 1- or 2-digit speed-dial number for the contact and click OK.

Speed-Dialling

To call a contact using the Skype speed-dial number:

1. On the handset, press

.

2. Enter the speed-dial number that you set in the Skype program.

3. Press .

Skype calls the contact associated with the speed-dial number.

Note:If you omit pressing

when speed-dialling, the call may still go through Skype. However, in some

countries, if the speed-dial number matches an emergency number, an emergency call will be made

instead of a Skype call. It is always a good practice to press

before entering the speed dial number.
