Hello Doug, Herein lies the problem after the number has been dialed. In my installed copy of Skype 4.1, I am not easily able to enter DTMF tones after placing an outgoing or answering an incoming call. I know the docs say the dialpad is supposed to open automatically, but this just doesn't seem to be happening for me. I can use [mt or Insert+F8 then select Dialpad, but there's got to be a better way?

Dial a contact by pressing Enter if you've set up Enter to dial, or by AppKey and then Call otherwise. Dial a number not in your contact list by choosing Call Phones from the View menu and entering the number followed by Enter. Once connected either way, dial digits just by typing them. The dial pad should go active immediately when you connect. JAWS says "selected" in front of the contact that is selected. Arrows in Skype contact and conversation lists do not change the selection, because this would be slow. The selected contact is the one whose info is shown in Default view. Pressing Space on a contact will select it. On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 06:59:20PM +0300, Andre Polykanine wrote: Hi everyone, Sorry for bothering you, I know that had been discussed earlier but... I still don't understand how to call landline phones in Skype 4.1. So, my questions are: 1. How can I call a number that is in my contacts? Say, I'd like to get info about my credit card. So I should press Enter on the contact, then I'm asked to enter the card number. How do I manage to do that? 2. How do I call a number that is not on my contact list? And one more question off topic: what does the "Selected" message mean? For instance, my wife's contact is very often selected here. Thanks a lot! -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile; Wlm&MSN: arthaelon @ yandex.ru; Jabber: arthaelon @ jabber.org Yahoo! messenger: andre.polykanine; ICQ: 191749952 Twitter: m_elensule Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
