Now You Don't Have to Be In Front of the Computer to Call Skype [Posted on 2008-09-24] One of the biggest problem people are having with this phone is from the supplied batteries. Batteries included are really cheap and bad quality. Even if you charge it for 14 hours, they hold charge barely. Replace them right away.
Once you installed the phone, it will automatically sync the time and the Skype directory to your handset. You can also call numbers not in the directory by pressing 00 first.
Pros:
-Uses ordinary batteries
-Good range. Works even outside the house, at the lawn.
-Speakerphone function is superb.
-Affordable. Most wireless Skype phone are in the 100$ range
Rooms for Improvement:
-Not Vista ready
-Needs a bigger LCD screen.It is hard to navigate your directory with only 3 lines of text
-Replace supplied battery with better quality batteries
-Needs to be able to save a phone number using the phone without typing them first on your PC.
-No volume control
Not bad for under $50 [Posted on 2008-09-25] Little technical hiccups to start, but works well. And cheap relative to other products on the market.
Works wonderfully!! [Posted on 2008-09-25] I admit I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the negative reviews, but at the price I thought it was worth a shot. I installed the software without a hitch (Windows XP), charged it for the recommended 14 hours, and made my first call this morning. The sound was incredible, no problems whatsoever, very easy to use. The USB station is at one end of the house and I'm at the other with no signal loss at all. I've got SkypeOut as well as SkypeIn (for a whopping $7/month) and it works beautifully, I'm able to make and receive calls with no problem, it has caller ID on it, and a Skype voicemail indicator as well, so it really is completely separate from the PC. Wonderful product!!
This is a great product from linksys [Posted on 2008-09-27] I've had this phone for nearly a month, and it is great, The connection with the base works very fine most of the time, Just like in three or four occasions I the phone didn't sense the base, so I had to turn off and then turn on again the phone, this works fine for me.
It doesn't has a lot of options to customize, but for my pursposes, I didn't regret that so much.
Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-09-29] Have patience to follow the installation steps, and the results would be wonderful... Great quality phone.
