Hi Sarah!
To my knowledge, Skype to go does not offer a way to call Skype contacts. It
is intended to offer a local way of accessing Skype out. The other caveat to
it is the Skype out contact must be international. To be clear, you can't
use Skype to go to call my US number from the US. If you are in the US, you
can use it to reach me by either my NZ land line number or my NZ skype in
number.
Cheers,
Dave

1 question that strays a bit. lol. but how do you use skype to go to call
skype contacts? not skype out contacts? I've tried and it failed big time
with every one I've tried.
Take care.

Hi!
Yes, this is accurate.
While you can still use Skype to freely dial US toll free numbers, you
can no longer do so with Skype to go. I recently became aware of this,
and it knocked me back a little until I found another way to make the
call. The combination of a slow internet connection and Skype is often
not doncucive to a reliably clear, phone connection, even though Skype to
Skype calls are consistently fine. This has caused me to result to using
Skype to go for my calls with better results, until the other day when I
tried to use it to reach a toll free number in the US. I just found an
alternative number that wasn't toll free , and made the call successfully
using Skype to go anyway, but thought others here should be alerted.
Clearly Skype isn't going to shout this from the rooftops, but I believe
we still need to know.
