Creating a new Skype account

Skype. You can create a new Skype account using your computer, or you can do so on
your GE 31591 phone.
Skype name can be 6-32 characters. You can use any mix of upper- and lower-case
characters, numbers and punctuation marks. You cannot use spaces and your name
cannot begin with a number or punctuation mark. If the name is already in use, you
will be prompted to try another name.
Passwords can be 6-20 characters. You can use any mix of upper- and lower-case
characters, numbers and punctuation marks. You cannot use spaces, your password
cannot begin with a number or punctuation mark, and you cannot use your Skype

For more information on entering Skype name and password, refer to the Character
