Make a Call With Skype
The Skype interface offers access to your contacts, calls, and other features.
What You Need to Run Skype on Your iPad and iPhone
You’ll need to go to the App Store and download the Skype app on your iPhone or iPad. You’ll also need a free Skype account, which you can register for on the Skype website. Skype is tied to your Microsoft account login, so if you have a Microsoft account, you have a Skype username and password. If you use a Skype account on other computers and other platforms, it will work perfectly on your iPad and iPhone. Use the integrated microphone and speaker of your device or pair a Bluetooth headset to it. You’ll also want to ensure good internet connectivity through your iPad’s or iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection or mobile data plan.
Add New Contacts to Skype
When you have Skype contacts in your contact list, tap their names to call, video call, or send messages to them. These contacts are automatically imported to your iPad or iPhone if you use an existing Skype account on which they are found. You can always enter new contacts in your list, either by entering their names manually. Tap the people icon in the upper-right corner of the Contacts list, or search for contacts to add using the search bar in the Contacts tab.
