As a fairly regular SKYPE user, I was searching for a suitable U.S.B. phone to use on my Mac G-4 laptop.This unit, which comes with instructions written clearly, and NOT FOR ENGINEERS ONLY, was easy to set up, and use in a matter of a couple of minutes. The software, which installed rapidly, had no glitches, and guided me through the instructions with no problems.As far as use, it works extremely well, with a nicely lit keyboard, and easy to read keys, both numeric, and those for the various functions.Audio quality is very good, and I actually prefer using this phone, over the often-used USB Headset, with microphone, which obviously is somewhat limiting.It is a well engineered and well made item, that should serve you well, for a very reasonable price.
Simple, inexpensive and works well. I make long distance calls form my laptop where ever I have a network.
It even works over a cellular internet connection very well. 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. 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. 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. $3 a month for the Skype Out service, and life is good. Buy it, you will love it.
Work's great well worth the price. I just wish you didn't need the software.
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 :)
