I'm a bit confused. I have never seen a Skype version that allowed you to call an account from itself, regardless of how many machines were logged into that account at once. All Skype versions will of course allow you to call yourself if you log into two different accounts on different machines and then call one machine/account from another.

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.
