When setting up my account must I use my real mobile number?

[ Edited ]

Hi there,

 

I want to use skpe for personal calls Skype to skype, but I do not want to provide my personal mobile number when I sign up. Is this a necessity or can skpe provide me with a number? I kind of want my personal mobile number to be private. Is there a way to do this or must I have to provide the current mobile number.

 

If I do is there a way to keep it hidden? Or are there any suggestions as to how to keep it private.

 

Also when someone calls my main number, will Skype become the default program for calls? Or can the Android call manager be the default. I only want to use skpe when I am making a skype to skype call, and for incoming calls I may choose to use the Adroid call manager, or may choose to use skype, am I given this option as to which to use when making or recieving calls?

Thanks!
