Have someone to talk to
It’s no fun being alone – build your contact list and interact with your friends.
The best way to get started is to spend a little time adding people to your contact list. Then it’s much easier to start calling, instant messaging and making free video calls.

Presence Use presence settings to let others know about your online availability and see at a glance if your friends are available for a chat.
