- Go to Skype.com to get started. If you look in
the upper hand right corner of the page that pops up you should see a
light blue "Join Skype" button with blue writing. Click on that.
- 2Enter your personal information.Don't worry, all of the information is confidential unless it clearly states that it will be displayed or given to the public, or if you give your explicit permission to do so.
- You are also given the opportunity to create a Facebook login, which
uses your Facebook information to create your Skype account.

- 3Enter in your basic profile information. Include your birthdate, gender, country, city, native language, and your phone number if you desire. Note that the fields with asterisks—Country and Language—are the only required fields. All others are optional.
- Be sure to choose the appropriate country. If you're an international traveler, choose the country that where you will be using the application most frequently. When choosing a password it is a good idea to keep changing it until it says "Password:Good" in green below the password box. A "Medium" password works fine, but a "Good" password is best. In fact, if your password is too weak, you will not be allowed to continue.
- 4Select your usage pattern. Skype requests that you choose whether you will use Skype primarily for work, or for personal conversations. This is optional, of course.
- 5Create your Skype user name and password. Have a care when you create your user name. You will not be able to change or delete this in the future, so avoid creating a Skype Name such as "biteMe" or "LuvsBongs, " as these will forever be associated with you.
- Enter in your password. Your password must be at least 6 standard characters, and also must include at least 1 number. Skype's password checker is very strict, so if your password does not pass muster, you must enter a stronger one that rates at least a medium on their scale.
- 6Finish the process. Tell Skype how you want them to contact you. If you chose to have them text you, they will do so and ask you to confirm. By default, email is selected. Enter in the scribbled spam-blocker code, and presuming that you agree with their terms and conditions, press the green I agree—Continue button
- 7Sign up for Skype Credits. If you will be making frequent conference calls, conversing internationally, or wish to send text messages overseas, you can add Skype Credits to your account—for a small fee! If you're not interested, click Continue.
- 8That's it! You'll be presented with this login screen where you can sign in, find your friends, and start Skyping!
