Skype

I have a windows phone 8 and a surface pro 2.  I have yet to figure out how to get my email.outlook.com contacts imported into Skype.  I have yet to figure out how to actually use Skype on my windows phone 8 using my Outlook.com contacts list.  Ironically there is an import contact feature for applications I have never heard of including Facebook but no Oulook.com.  I  have yet to see any integration between my windows phone 8 and Surface pro.  Skype is not very intuitive.. It appears there is a version of Skype pre loaded on my Surface pro 2 that is less functional than the Skype for Desktop.  Where can I learn about the differences?  Why is this so difficult?  If I log in with my primary email.outlook.com on all my devices shouldn't I see the same thing regarding features and options? I also cannot reach anyone regarding tech support... I despise searching through hundreds of logged comments on other problems and search is not feasible.  HELP
