Select Settings .

Toggle Only allow calls from contacts to ring on this device to On . If someone who isn't in your contact list calls you, Skype will show a missed call from them.
Changing this setting does not apply to incoming voice messages or calls to your Skype Number. Anyone can still leave you a voice message. However, with your Skype Number you can set the option to Allow Skype to block unwanted calls .
