adding a new skype account?

I am trying to add skype to my ipad2 and as soon sa you touch the icon is asks for user name and password. i don,t have a skype account so i can,t go further. how do you add a new skype account or am i sol?

thanks, steel

go to skype.com and create an account.

never thought of that but went on my laptop and created an account then used that account info and that worked.

thanks again, steel
