After the call is connected, access the dial pad by clicking on the 9 white dots arranged in a grid pattern (dial pad icon) located near the "Hangup" button represented by the red handset icon at the bottom of the call window. If this "Dial Pad" icon is not present, select "Show Dial Pad" from the "Call" menu, during the call. This is how to show Skype keypad.
