To call a U.S. number with Skype, it will need to be in this format:
+1AAANNNNNNN where AAA is the area code and NNNNNNN is the actual number. The '+' is also required - it is added automatically by the Skype desktop clients.

What I find is that if I am initiating a Skypeout (Skype -> Landline/Mobile) call, I need to use the dialing pad. Apparently contact cards cannot be saved with the requisite '+' in front.

Hope this helps.
