The thing that you're seeing with all the numbers on it is the dialing
pad. You don't have to use that at all unless you want to. you need to
set up your dialing preferences in Skype so you can make calls. For
example in Georgia we have to dial the area code for everyone so I
have local calls set up to dial them without asking. After this is
done you can just type the number in the search field or add them to
your contacts. I also seek the same answers in regards to the Skype
specific phones. I do know you can turn a regular phone into a Skype
phone with a adapter, but maybe others can weigh in.

I just tried to make a call with skype. I was unaware that I had to
select country,. So I dialed the area code and number and got a
foreign automated message. I clicked on the button that just said
space menu button and got select country. So I hit United States, but
when I checked the menu again to make sure it was there, it didn't say
United States. It just said select country again. Is there a way to
make sure it actually recorded my selection before I make the call?
Also, I saw things like 1 button 2 btton 3 button etc and when I tried
to see what they were, all of them said there is no help for this
item. What are all those numbers? And how do I dial the number? Do
I need to put the area code in parenthesies like on my calling list
and the number with dashes (000) 555-9057? Also, I'm not sure if I
asked this and it got lost in the shuffle, but what about Skype phones
and accessibility. Is it worth it for me to get one and could I use
all of it's features? What's the difference between a chordless phone
and a handset? (referring to the Skype phones)
Thanks,
