Hi Jackie,
 
A Skype phone is just a method of making Skype phone calls away from your
PC.
 
All the best
 
Steve

Thanks Amro.
 
Could I ask another really stupid question please?  What is the difference
between using a microphone for Skype, and a Skype phone?  Is it just so
people can say they are talking on a phone, or is there something else more
pertinent to having one?
 
Many thanks indeed.
 
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
 
Ok. launch Skype. When it's up, it will ask you to sign in using your Skype
name. If you don't have one, you can create a user name and choose a
password from that same dialog box. Now if all goes well and you're signed
in, you need to add or search for Skype users using their Skype names or
email addresses. Both the search and the add users options can be found on
the tools menu. Once you've found the users you're looking for and added
them to your contacts list, just highlight a contact, right click and choose
to start a call, send a message etc.
 
And ah! Don't forget to hook up your microphone first before you start
ringing people! *Smile*
 
This is only a quick run of the prog, go for it and if you're stuck, please
write back...
 
HTH,
Amro

Subject: [access-uk] Using Skype


Hi All
 
I wonder if some of you more knowledgeable on this subject than I could
please tell me how to start using Skype.  I have two nieces who would like
to communicate with me using this method, but I have never used it before.
My Vista laptop appears to have a Skype icon on the Desktop, but I haven't
even launched it before.
 
Apologies if this subject has been covered in depth previously.  But it is
impossible to remember everything when it isn't applicable to you at the
time.
 
Many thanks for any suggestions.  If you would rather Email me off list then
that's fine.
 
Jackie
