how can I get free skype credit?
03/02/2012 by maxkitty · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by AlbertAzose03/02/2012
1. Go to the Skype website promotions page at www.skype.com. In the upper-right corner of the home page, you will find a search field.
2. Enter the word "promotions" and view the search results. The list presented will include archives of past promotions. Archive links should not be ignored. Search past promotions to get a feel for how Skype offers free talk time. Notice that free credits are often associated with new VoIP gear like phones, headsets and webcam.
3. Although the promotions shown in the archives have long since expired, the companies shown roll out new products regularly, so visiting these manufacturer websites may yield fresh Skype credits with a purchase of their gear.
4. Be persistent. Check back with Skype's website often. Skype promotions are often short-lived and less frequent due to their overwhelming popularity. However, you can find amazing deals if you are diligent. For example, Mac users were treated to 10,000 minutes of free access to test the Skype 2.8 software beta release for the Mac.
5. Visit on line coupon sites. This might be your last resort, as Skype credits through online coupons are rare, and the coupon codes listed at these sites are often unreliable.
6. Consider an unlimited calling plan. Is the time you spend chasing down free credits worth more than $2.95 a month? If so, consider changing from a pay-as-you-go plan to a monthly subscription. Skype is popular because their long-distance subscription plans are among the lowest available.

03/02/2012 by wawaslope · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by Kimplex03/02/2012
1. Open your Skype software on your computer via your Skype desktop icon or your Start menu.
2. Log in to Skype with your user name and password.
3. Click the "Conference" button, which is at the very top of the window. Alternatively, you can go to "Tools" then "Create a Conference Call."
4. Enter the topic of your conference call conversation at the top of the new window that opens up.
5. Invite the two contacts to your conference call. Select them from your list of contacts on the left side of the open window and click "Add" to add them to the call. Alternatively, you can press "Ctrl" (control) to select both names at the same time, and then add them. As you add each contact, you will see the names appear in the "Conference Participants" list on the right side of your screen.
6. Click the "Start" button when you have all your desired contact names in the "Conference Participants" list. Doing so will call both contacts at the same time. You will see a conference tab with the names of the participants being added as they join. This may take a few moments.
7. Use any of Skype's other regular features during your conference call, just as you would during a regular call. For example, you can click both of your contacts' icons to view their profiles. Or right-click them to access advanced options, such as Hang Up, Start Chat, Mute, Hold and Send File.
8. Click the big red button to end the conference call, which will cut off all connections with both contacts and yourself. If you hit the button by accident before the call is done, a window will pop up asking you if you are sure you want to end the call.

how to check if a contact has blocked me on skype?
03/02/2012 by SallyPainting · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by JavyTechGuy03/02/2012
1. Launch "Skype" and sign in with your username and password. When your contact list loads, check the icon beside a contact's name. If a person has blocked you, the icon may turn from the gray "x" icon or green check mark to a gray question mark. This means the person isn't sharing his information with you, which is a sign of being deleted or blocked.
2. Click the person's name to open a new chat window and send an instant message. Since a person who has blocked you will no longer be able to see any communication from you, the message will either be returned as undelivered or may simply be shown as processing indefinitely. This likely means you've been blocked.
3. Check the person's profile picture. If you've been blocked, you'll no longer see a personalized profile picture, but the stock "Skype" avatar. This means the contact has stopped sharing personal information with you.
4. Add your findings to less-measurable signs that you might be blocked, such as a sudden change in your frequency of communication with a certain person, a recent argument or fallout or simply not hearing from the friend for a long time. When combined with some of the more concrete signs, you can decide whether or not a contact has blocked you.
