How to Port Phone Numbers Into Skype

Skype, the free, Internet-based phone service, is a great way to consolidate your contacts. Skype not only organizes your contacts' phone numbers, it also lets you call them if you have an Internet connection. You can call any of your contacts by clicking on the contact you want. If your contacts have Skype accounts, you can call them for free. If you need to dial them, it will cost you a small fee.

Instructions

1. Open Skype.

2. Select "Contacts" and then "Import Contacts" from the main menu to open the Import Contacts dialog box.

3. Mark the contact list you want to import to Skype.

4. Mark "Only search for phone numbers" if you want to import phone numbers only.

5. Click the "Search" button. Skype will open the applications to get to their respective contact lists. A list of contacts you can import will open.

6. Mark the "Contacts" you want to import. Click "Uncheck All" if you want to clear all the check marks and select only certain contacts. The button toggles to "Check All" if all the check boxes are empty.

7. Click the "Add Contacts" button to import them. You will see a confirmation message telling you how many contacts it added.
