The plus sign is a shortcut for the full country code I think. I forget the longer way to do it, maybe 01101?

If it is should it be written out or will the plus sign do. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com] On Behalf Of Doug Lee Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:55 PM To: skypeenglish at emissives.com Subject: [Skypeenglish] A tip for calling non-contacts in Skype 4.0 Not sure if this works in Skype 3, but in Skype 4.0 beta3, you can call a phone number from any chat window by typing /call in front of it. Notice the slash. For example, /call +13125551212 would call 312-555-1212, which is probably still a Chicago area information number. A warning though: At least in Skype 4.0 beta, if you do that when a call is already active, you'll get two simultaneously active calls, but they will not be conferenced together. You will hear both, both will hear you, but neither will hear the other. -- Doug Lee dgl at dlee.org http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group doug.lee at ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "Characters live to be noticed.
