‘Call me on Skype’ link

Posted on January 2nd, 2007 in

Had to do some searching for this so it may be of use to anyone else doing a search for the same thing:

<a href=”skype:username?call”>Call me on Skype!</a>

Simply replace username with your Skype username and your done.

If you would like to send people to your direct landline or mobile phone number and call you via Skype then you can use this code:

<a href=”callto:+441159881995“>Call me on my landline or mobile via Skype!</a>

Simply replace +441159881995 with your own phone number and you’re good to go.

Great tip! I found your blog at CSS Mania and started to look around and found this article. Having the skype username this way really simplifies starting a conversation.

Why doesn’t my Skype call link recognise the plus symbol in “..callto:+7..” as it should with “%2b…” and then cannot dial as a result? How do I insert the plus symbol in the link correctly?
