How to ring another Skype user from the Contact/Contact person card

Find the contact/contact person you want to call.
Select the telephone number, e.g. the Skype number, in the Telephone field.
Click on the telephone icon.
Accept that the user 'Mamut' should be allowed to call, should you be asked about this.

An outgoing call is set up. The status for the call can be followed in the Skype calls window.

Note! In order to call a land line or mobile number via Skype the number must be registered with 0044 or +44 in front of the number. (For international numbers the country code is used for the specific country). You also need to purchase Skype credit in order to be able to call land lines or mobile telephone numbers.

How to accept a Skype phone call

When someone calls you, the Skype calls window will open as well as a separate Skype window.

Answer/Open: You answer the phone. If the number or name for the incoming caller is registered for a contact, the respective contact card will open.

Open: Opens the contact card for the involved contact, but does not answer the call.

Cancel/Hang up: Ends the call.

Mamut searches for the involved contact by Skype number/Skype name.

Initialisation: By default Skype links itself to the Windows startup. Additionally, Skype will automatically start up when you start up your Mamut program. If you have temporarily closed Skype you cannot initiate a Skype call from Mamut; you need to start Skype first.
