If you install the Skype application on your computer and if you use one of
the more common email management applications, you can either point Skype to
your email application and it will search the email addresses and look for
registered Skype users. It will then give you the option to send them a
note requesting that their details be added to your contacts list.

Once they have approved this, their contact details will be added to your
Skype account, which you can access from any Skype-enabled phone or
application.

Thanks - that's what I was missing. I suspected that I probably needed to
install the Skype application on my PC, but I wasn't sure. I'll give it a
go!

Yes, I'd seen that - but couldn't find the Directory tab! The email I
received after setting up my account on the phone simply said "log on to
your Skype account" - which I did - using my browser - but it didn't tell me
that I also needed the Skype application on my PC.

Ian, I have the version preloaded when I bought the phone
Skype tm for 3 Ver. 2.9.12
Can you please tell me what version you have, (Options - About)?
And assuming it is higher, can you please make a call and tell
me if the keypad still sends DTMF tones to the other party, and
also if the tones still repeat while a key is held down.
Really would appreciate this info. Thanks.

Wot he said

Which would become more apparent if you load Skype on your PC,
and then be able to full read Skype help
