A Guide To Skype

Bambino — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 20:55:27 GMT

I tell a lot of people to call customer service on the 0800 number using Skype, and when I saw this, I thought maybe some people don't actually know how to use it, so here's a tutorial. It's good for video chats too:

Thank you @Bambino

As someone who is knows nothing of anything techy and runs from anything geeky, I want to say how much I appreciate you posting this and what a useful guide this is.

I`m going to work through it and hopefully be able to set up a Skype account as another way to keep in touch.

I also think this should go into the list of Community guides @Bambino @Marjo @Martin-O2 ?

Excellent easy to use guide.

Even a complete non-geek technophobe like me has managed to follow it and yep I`m on [well I think I am] on Skype...

As @Cleoriff and @jonsie said this guide should definitely be in the Guides @Martin-O2 @Marjo

Installed Skype on my iPhone but couldn't get notifications.. all I had to do was go to

settings > notifications > Skype

& switch them off, then on again.. (a known foible apparently)

You can call on mobile though people seem to have more success using Skype. Maybe the system doesn't cut off on Skype.
