Numbers automatically redialled.

Keeps dialling till you get through.

Note: this feature is not available in the latest version of Skype for Windows.

Let Skype do your dialling

Auto Redial is simple to use. If the number is busy, you will see a message telling you that Skype will redial the number 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, Skype will repeat this process up to 10 times.
