Rating: - Great
Simple, inexpensive and works well. I make long distance calls form my laptop where ever I have a network.
Rating: - Great, great, great. Just cut my cell bill in half.
I was a little skeptical about trying a Skype handset, I've had poor luck with any headsets I've tried and just wanted something as simple and portable as possible. This won me over. The installation is quick and painless (Vista users - download the latest drivers from Philips), the sound quality is fantastic, and its small and light enough to keep in my laptop bag. It even works over a cellular internet connection very well. My cell bill has been pushing $180 a month, and this will cut it by at least half since most of my calls are outgoing. $3 a month for the Skype Out service, and life is good. ... Read More
Rating: - Work's great!
Work's great well worth the price. I just wish you didn't need the software.
Rating: - Works as advertised
It works, and my wife is pleased because now she is using it for Skype as it were the line phone.
I know there are some wireless VOIP phones, but I needed something I didn't need to recharge or lose in any room, the ringtone is loud enough to hear it in the second story while the computer is downstairs.
I haven't tried with MSN or Yahoo, but if you have Skype, there is no reason to try other IMs :)
Rating: - Best phone for Skype
I recommend this phone for using Skype to everyone. This is probably the best quality phone for the lowest price. Usually I expect cheaper things to have some drawbacks, so I was surprised when the sound quality and volume for this phone was great.
