Numbers automatically redialled.

Keeps dialling till you get through.

Let Skype do your dialling

Auto Redial is simple to use. If the number is busy, you will see a message telling you that the number will be redialled again in 60 seconds. Another alert will pop up five seconds before redialling. These alerts also give you the option to cancel the redial.

If the number is still busy, the process will be repeated up to 10 times.
