Creating a Skype Name and Password

Each Skype account has a unique Skype Name with a password. If your Skype Name is the same
as another Skype user it will not be accepted. Follow these guidelines:

Characters: You can use uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and punctuation
marks. You cannot use spaces. You cannot start your Skype Name or password with a number
or punctuation mark.

Length: You can use 6-30 characters for your Skype Name, and 4-20 characters for your
password.

Unique Password: You cannot use your Skype Name as a password.”

Standby Display

Note: After you have created your Skype Name, it is strongly recommended that you

register an email address for your Skype Name on the Skype website. This will
allow Skype to generate a new password for you in the event that you lose your
password. Go to

www.skype.com

and sign in to your account. Then, follow the

provided instructions for registering an email address for your account.

Your phone is in standby mode when it is idle. It shows your
Skype status icon, your Skype Name, the handset number, the
system time, the signal icon, and the battery icon.
