WikiHow page on How to Use Skype Safely correctly notes: “By default, Skype restricts the privacy settings of users under 16 years old to ensure maximum protection.” However, it does not elaborate on what those restrictions are. I have a skype number i use to host a radio show. Neither could I find any mention of it in Skype’s Even the first tier of Skype tech support did not come up with it as a possibility. Our initial online searches revealed no mention of this matter. If it’s designed to comfort parents, wouldn’t you want them to know about it? I remain perplexed as to why Skype keeps this Privacy settings restriction for minors such a secret. Next, when she tried again to change her Privacy settings, they survived a restart. So she went back and changed the birthdate in her Profile. Unfortunately, the date she entered made her a minor. Skype Numbers are available in a wide variety of area codes, and in several countries/regions. It turned out that my friend had not wanted to reveal her true birthdate when setting up her Skype profile. Select the country you want the Skype Number for, and you will be given. This restriction is meant to protect minors from predator and fraudulent phone calls. Youll be prompted to sign in if you arent already.
