Default Dialler for each contact? SGS2

[ca4014]

Greetings all!

Right, I'm new to smartphones, new to Android AND this forum, so please excuse my all-round amateurish cluelessness.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2, on the 3 network in the UK. I'm figuring things out as I go along, and for the most part, managing ;-)

Here's my question:

I installed Skype and want to use it as the default dialler for some contacts - those overseas, calls not included in my tariff, etc. As far as I can gather, I can only set one dialler as the default on my phone, and it applies to all contacts. At the moment I have no default set, and the phone asks each time I ring someone, but I'm just trying to find a slightly more convenient way of doing it. For instance, while driving I can summon up a contact by voice but need to touch the phone to select Skype/ dialler.

Can anyone can suggest a dialler/ contacts manager which will allow this, and is the process of installing a new contacts manager easy and safe? i.e. no risk of losing contacts, etc.?

Many thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light.

Before I even suggest this, I must note that I dont use skype.
So whoever is gonna troll me, dont.

Right, have you tried going into the contact and pushing the menu interface button then mark as default? I should imagine this would work seperately for each contact.

Let me know how you go.

Thanks but no joy, 27. I tried it out but what that allows you to do, is store two or more numbers under the same name, and the.one you set as default is the one that'll be used unless you open the contact and choose which one to dial/ text.

I don't think it's really a Skype issue, rather a case of finding a dialler/ contacts manager which will save the necessary setting for each contact individually.

Anyone else got any ideas?
