How do I make a call using Skype ver 6.22.60.107?

I've used Skype for years, but this update that I just got a few minutes ago has me stumped. How do I make phone calls with this thing? The option to make calls is greyed out. I can call my contacts, but I don't see a way to dial numbers.
Note: I'm using the latest version of Skype for Windows on my Windows 7 Pro desktop computer.
Edit: I figured it out. I couldn't see the cursor, because the text box is the same color as the banner around it.

  • Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

    I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

    See this thread:

    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • Can iphone 4 make video calls using skype over 3g?

    Hello,can i make video calls on iphone 4 using skype over 3g network?

    Yes, Skype can make video calls over 3G. You do NOT need to jailbreak your phone. I believe the previous poster thought you were asking about FaceTime which does not work over 3G.

  • Please help, Unable to make a call using Skype

    On 10/19/12 I reactivated our Skype credit of $9.69 and received an email confirming that the credit was reactivated.  However, whenever we log on to Skype the Profile Completeness bar gets stuck at 50% and the Make A Call button is never displayed, even though our current credit is correctly displayed as $9.69.

    I have the same problem .....  This skype, without customer service truly is not worth
    the trouble.  I wish they would dispense with all the options and hire a few humans to
    perform customer service.  I have credit, changed my password and still just get propaganda
    of new services when I try to make a basic call.........Lovely huh!!

  • I cannot make phone calls using Skype

    Hello,
    I have a subscription to call numbers in Argentina. I've been using that plan for a long time. I need to call a number that I called many times in the past but my Skype account is not working. Please help me. I need to call this number today. I checked my account and my subscription is active. It says that I have 400 minutes left.  Thank you

    Hi,
    If you purchase the same subscription again it will only extend it, it doesn't add more minutes to your account.
    If you have Ghana 120minutes then no matter how many times you purchase it within 30 days you still have only 120minutes during this 30 days.
    Your minutes will be reset:
    Ghana 120 min Sept 5, 2011
    Ghana 60 min Sept 22, 2011

  • I can't make a call using skype to go number

    when I dial it - there is voice message saying - "the number is vacant, please call your own directory inquire service for further information".
    what I am doing wrong? How should I use it? Should I call it through the country code or plain?

    Hello,
    You must always prefix your dial string with the international country access code (+1 for USA, +44 for UK etc.).
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • How can I make a call from iPad

    How can I make a call from IPad

    Oh, you have to get the iPhone app.
    Seriously, though .... you are aware that it's not a telephone, right? Any calls you make will be using VOIP and any of the apps and/or services (Skype, Google Talk, etc., etc.) which support that. Some of those are US-only, all have various restrictions and cost structures.

  • Urgent : Mystery Calls using Skype

    Hi,
    As i would like to use Skype to make mystery calls to test competence of my call centre support, I have a few questions:
    Example:
    I call using Skype from Singapore to China Call Centre, what is the phone number that will appear at the receiver's phone?
    Is this number the same for every call, no matter to which country?
    Or no number will appear?
    This is very important as I am using it for mystery calls.
    Thank you in anticipation.
    Rgds,
    KTY 

    You need to set the callerID on the Skype accounting page, so that the specific Skype online number is able to show on the caller's phone.

  • How Can I make redirect caller from agent to any branch IVR?

    I have IPCC Enterprise Edition (ICM 5.0, IVR 3.1)
    How can I make redirect caller from agent to chosen branch IVR, and send with call any variable to IVR (e.g. account number).
    Regards
    Krzysztof

    I would suggest that post-routing should not be used. The way to go is to use translation routing applications. Although post-routing is easy to set up, almost all deployments require translation routing. I can't think of anything good to say about post routing, other than it's trivial to configure.
    You want the main route point to be on the CM_PIM.RC for a number of reasons. You can check to see which of your IVRs are on line, and/or to do load balancing. If calls don't need to go to the IVR if agents are ready, you can have an LAA Select node immediately, and then translation route. Even if you just have one IVR, translation routing will enable you to do RONA more easily.
    You need to bite the bullet and learn translation routing. If you do it that way, peripheral variables attached to the call remain unaffected whether the call is under the control of the CM_PIM.RC or the IVR_PIM.RC. This is exactly what you want.
    There is no need, in my opinion, to go to an external database. In your IVR, decisions made by the caller (e.g. which "skill" they want) set peripheral variables. When the call comes out of this script you check the peripheral variable, and depending on the value do a queue to the appropriate skill group and run external script (BasicQ.aef).
    Separate the intelligence gathering IVR script from the Queuing script. Allow ICM to make the routing decisions.
