Skype is an effective means of communication service that lets you interact with anyone from all over the world. It allows you to make voice and video calls to your contacts and also chat with them using text messages as well. One of the important features of Skype is that it allows you to call a phone number (non-skype users) as well. In order to message someone on Skype, you have to add them as a contact on Skype. After adding someone on Skype, you can keep them on your contact list or remove them if the chat is closed. Like adding someone, you can easily delete a contact on Skype.
Unlike other apps, there is a trash option available to store your deleted contacts. Once contact is removed, they won’t get any notification but they will not be able to chat with you.
