I had to do some searching for this before I found it so I figured it may be of use to anyone else doing a search on how to do 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 instead:
<a href=”callto:+445559338790″>Call me on Skype!</a>
Simply replace +445559338790 in the code above 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.
Thanks for the help!
I can’t understand your Skype name! can you please post it to me…
You are the man! I was looking all over for this!
This was really helpfull!
Sorry if I excidently skyped you! :-)

Thanks a lot. This really helped me out.
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?
The post was of great help! Thank you!
Having same problem with “+” being replaced with “%2b” in links, anyone know how to solve this? same result with + character entity
Regards,
Thanks for the tip! I was searching everywhere!
Thanks, man. This is just what I was looking for.
Me too – cannot for the life of me figure out how to add the plus sign…
Beware of the Blog type quotation marks “. They will mess up your code.
Sorry, not supported with linux, any tips? Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address… etc
It’s really helpful to me. Thanks
using ?chat at the end instead initiates an IM conversation. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to have a link simply to add the contact
