How to Find Skype Users

Skype is a free program that allows you to make voice calls to other Skype users over the Internet. You can also use Skype's paid option to call land telephone lines or mobile phones. Each Skype user has a unique username. They are also listed by their real name (if they choose to give their correct name) and email address. You can search for users through Skype's search option.
