no matter what I do to this number. skype tries to call romainia. I have tried 1-206-xxx-xxxx and My dialing options are set to add a 1 to all ten digit numbers and delete area code for local calls.

For Skype, there is no concept of local and long distance phoen calls. All US and Canada numbers are 10 digits, with a 1 at the beginning. 1 is the country code for US and Canada.

Please do not set “remove local area code”. This option is mostly for analog phone lines. If it is set, it will remove 1-206 from the 11 digit phone number. And that’s why it calls Romania.

Just set “add 1 to 10 digit phone number. And specify 10 digit or 11 digit phone number to call.
