How to Change Your Skype Name

• Answer:

  Skype is a commonly used Internet-based program that allows you to call other Skype users, anywhere in the world, for free. You can also call house and cell phones provided you have some money in your Skype account. Installing and setting up Skype is a fairly easy process so long as you follow the onscreen instructions; you then only need a microphone and speakers or a headset to begin using Skype. Whenever you are connected to the Internet, either through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, you can call any other online user in your friend list. It is possible to change the real name listed in Skype but not the Skype username. Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Changing Your Username in Skype Log in to your account with your Skype ID and password. Go to "profile" listed under Skype tab. Click on edit profile. Change your real name. Log out of your existing Skype account and click on "Don't have a Skype name?" Since you cannot change the Skype name once you create an account, you need to create a new Skype account. Register yourself with Skype using your real name, new Skype name and email ID. Read the terms and conditions, and then create your account. Changing Your Real Name in Skype Log in to your Skype account. Click the "Skype" tab, and select "Profile" and then "Edit your Profile" from the toolbar at the top. Edit or change your name in the "Full name" box. Select "Update." Log out and log back in to Skype. Tips & Warnings Tip: When you first create your Skype account, you will be asked for both your user name and your real name. Either of these names can be used to find your account, and your user name will be what is displayed in your friends' friend lists. You should try to make your Skype name unique so that your friends can easily find it.
