Hi Clare!
Call it anti social. Not only do I use the Skype testing service, I
recommend it to others. It's always the first thing I teach after installing
Skype, largely because some people either don't know anyone else to call or
don't want to use the search facility to find them.
Being able to call myself between two different machines was useful to me in
different areas. It told me how the audio was working, which of course, the
Skype testing service would have shown me, but it told me how much latency
there was, which the Skype testing service would not do. So you see there is
method to my madness.
If I don't like the sound of a microphone, if I am in a connected call, I
can change it and learn the difference more quickly than using the Skype
testing service. It is one solution, not the only.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi!
I know this may perhaps seem a strange question to you, David, but why do
you need to call yourself to test Skype, when you can test Skype with its
own call testing service? If you have Skype 3, choose "Skype test call"
from your contact list, and if you use Skype 4, choose "Echo / Sound test
service". Calling that testing service was the first thing I learned to do
when I first got my own Skype two years ago, and I thought everybody knew
about that.
Bye for now, and happy skyping, preferably to other people! (Smile).
From Clare

Subject: [Skypeenglish] You can no longer call yourself
Hi!
I'm not sure when this changed. I used to call myself to test Skype on a
new machine.
I don't have a new machine to test tonight. I had other reasons for
calling myself, but the long and the short is that I no longer can. The
only way I can do it is sign into Skype on one or other machine with a
different username.
Don't believe I've read that here anywhere before, so thought I'd mention
it.
Cheers,
Dave
