How do I add my family and friends?

We don't have long distance, so Skype is our main way to talk in the US long distance. It is free. However, since DD is in New Zealand we pay under $10 a month and can talk all we want Skype to landline, very cheap for Skype to cell. If we just talked computer to computer it would be free. We used it on the computer on Christmas with the live webcam. It was really neat to be able to see her.

if you search with their email addresses they should show up, you can also search for them with their name or their skype name, they can give it to you, and then you can request that they add you as a contact. You can find the right drop down under tools on the top bar.

I have skype and can talk to my sister and brother in Fl. However if who ever you want to talk to does not have skype you can sign up for $30. a year and talk to anyone on a landline. I love it. Saves $$ on my regular phone bill.
