why can?t skype directly access my contacts

Hi,
i was using iphone 5s and have now switched to lumia 735. On iphone i could easily access a number in my contact directly via skype even if the person isn't my skype friend but in Lumia i can't do that. i have to write the number down and then enter it on skype. can anyone please offer some advice or any other function i have to download.

Welcome to Windows Central.

In your official Skype App, swipe over to "People". In that page, you should see either "All", "Skype" or "Available" beside a small blue circle that has a small white "v" or "down arrow" inside. Tap on that - then select "All". This will show you all of your contacts in your People Hub that can be contacted through Skype through their mobile number or Skype account.
