Do not quite understand your second question, but you may Italki message me and tell me your Skype. You may tell me your question via Skype.

So, if you are a long way from the time you will change, you might say "when." If you will immediately change, then use "while."

In that instance, "when" is used in future tense, "while" is used in present tense.
