True Blue Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) There is now a new issue using the contact list for making telephone calls to China. I will explain it in a nutshell. Old version (version 1.2)- set up China contacts with phone number including 86 country code. Set up US contacts with US area code.Make call by selecting a contact. If you select a China contact, call would go through as noted in the phone number with Country code. If you select a US contact (determined by area code) SKYPE would automatically insert a +1 before the call and call would go through. New version (version 1.3)- set up China contacts with phone number including 86 country code. Set up US contacts with US area code.Make call by selecting a contact. If you select a China contact, call will NO LONGER GO THROUGH based on the phone number with Country code as a +1 is now AUTOMATICALLY INSERTED before the calling number. If you select a US contact (determined by area code) SKYPE would automatically insert a +1 before the call and call will go through as before Has anyone found a way to fix this? It is a pain to hand dial Chinese phone numbers. Edited January 24, 2010 by True Blue (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Happy to say SKYPE got back to me. There is a simple fix and it works like a charm For contacts in China (or another country) edit the phone number to put a + sign before the number (e.g. +861234567890) For US contacts leave as area code and phone number (e.g. (212)555-1212 Problem solved!
