I purchased this because I just felt the need to know about consumer IP telephony for myself. The equipment provides all the advancements and advantages you would need to get a satisfactory consumer IP telephony experience - namely, full duplex sound accomplished with speaker-near-ear and microphone-near-mouth no gimmick technology. An incredibly thoughtful (or well-researched) feature is the cordless mobility. It is so much nicer to move away from the computer when having extended conversations (at a substantially discounted per-minute rate, or even free!) and to sit on a couch or comfortable chair. The very simplicity of this phone's implementation and the very manufacturer of it, gives you the impression that this might be something big - just remember that you need bandwidth to really appreciate the current state. Downsides? You have to "hunt" for a provider, or so it seems, until you begin to realize that most instant messenger applications now have links to IP providers, so you can bring up your IM and just click 'call'. I was disappointed that AT&T did not link you right into a portal they owned however. I would like to see how they would package, or price, offerings. Another potential downside is that there is no speaker out jack (though there is a headphone out which is intended only for that function), so using your regular speakers will generally have to be an either/or proposition. Overall, if you want to tip your toe into IP telephony, this is definitely a great first step towards a satisfactory experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my yahoo voice chat, June 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: AT&T 6100 Cordless Voice-Over-Internet Telephone (Mica) (Office Product)

I use yahoo voice chat to talk to my parents in another country. Before buying this phone, I had to sit clost to the pc and talk to them, so cannot do anything except sitting near the pc.
After buying this phone, I am mobile, I can roam around in my house with the cordless.
I am greatly impressed with the audio quality.
I purchased immediately 1 more phone, and I am planning to send it to my parents so that they need not wear the headphone mic to talk to me.
My mom can talk to me while she is cooking or gardening.
I am surprised why a good product like this is discontinued. I think telephone manufactures do not want to promote voip. I can't think of any other reason why this has not become popular.

Go grab one immediately before it goes out of stock ! ! !

I'm new to the whole VoIP thing, but I've been using skype for several weeks. It worked great through my speakers and microphone, but I bought this so I can have more privacy and be able to roam around the house. It works flawlessly. The sound quality is as good as a landline. And for 1.9 cents a minute to a landline in Europe, I'd recommend this to anyone.
