You can make and receive voice, video and text messages from anywhere in the world using Skype. Any two computers or mobile devices connected to the Skype network can connect. Skype only displays the username of the person on the other end of the call, providing you with no way of determining where the call originate from. There could be many reasons why you might want to trace a call made via Skype such as harassing messages or trying to find a missing family member.

In the Skype entry you will see the IP address of the contact listed under “Foreign Address.” Tips Writer Bio
