SkypeOut, a for-pay feature of the Skype service, allows you to use Skype to call any landline or mobile phone, anywhere in the world.
Instructions
1. Activate the SkypeOut service. Double-check your Skype account to make sure you have SkypeOut activated.
2. Pick someone to call. Make sure you have your friend's phone number, the country your friend currently resides in and (so you can check whether you have enough credit to complete the call) an estimate of how long the call will last.
3. Using Skype's sound-test feature "echo123" (see link below), test your computer's sound settings. This will ensure that you have good quality sound for your call.
4. Visit the Skype Web site (see link below) to find the code for the country or region for the person you are calling. This page also offers guidance on dialing.
5. Open the "Dial" tab (the blue telephone icon) in your Skype window and type the telephone number into the phone number field, or use the keypad to enter it. The number must be entered in the following way: "+" + "country code" + "number." "00" or "011" can be used before the country code as well.
6. Press the green button with the phone icon to place your call.
