How it Works
All you need to make calls with the Wi-Fi Phone is an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network with high-speed Internet access. The Wi-Fi Phone is a standalone device that does not require a computer to use. You can use it at home, hotels, offices, airports, Internet cafes, school campuses, or just about anywhere there is a wireless connection available. In addition, with a growing number of Wi-Fi hotspots and metropolitan areas deploying low-cost or free high-speed wireless Internet connection, you have more places available to make and receive VoIP calls. Simply connect to a wireless network and make phone calls just like you would on a mobile phone.
Because the Wi-Fi Phone uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) it is ready to be used with an Internet (VoIP) phone service plan. For accessing secure wireless networks, the Wi-Fi Phone supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. Plus, with features like echo cancellation, packet delay compensation, and lost packet recovery, you can expect the voice quality from the Wi-Fi Phone to be similar to traditional phone calls.
Intelligent Design
The Wi-Fi Phone includes a large, bright color LCD screen that displays call information such as call history, address book entries, and caller ID numbers. The device also supports several other convenient calling features including redial, mute, and hold. If you use a cell phone, you'll feel right at home with the D-Link Wi-Fi Phone. Two soft keys and four directional keys make it easy to navigate the phone's intuitive interface. There are also dedicated keys for volume, call send/end/cancel, and redial/hold. Meanwhile, a rechargeable 900 mAh lithium-ion battery keeps you talking for hours before the next charge. You can choose either the DPH-540 in sleek black or the DPH-541 in stylish silver.
What's in the Box
Wi-Fi Phone, li-ion rechargeable battery, USB cable, charger, quick installation guide, and CD-ROM with product documentation.

This review is from: D-Link DPH-541 802.11g/b Wi-Fi VoIP Phone (Silver ) (Personal Computers)
Great phone when you get it to work, manual terrible. very hard to understand and worst of all if the battery dies there is no way of getting a spare. If you contac a dealer he will sell you the phone but for batteries you will be referred to D-Link. On the other hand, no one in D-Link has a clue on where you can get a battery.Sad situation for a relatively expensive good product

I have this phone for some months. And I can say, THIS PHONE IS VERY BAD!!!No matter what firmware version do you have, the phone always says the battery is at 100%. Suddenly, the phone dies because it got run out of battery, and if you can see the battery meter just before the phone goes off, IT STILL SAYS 100%!!!! I never had a phone that could be SO UNSTABLE!!!! I think the original manufacturer didn't use any hardware codec to accelerate audio coding/decoding to cut costs, so the main CPU does it all. I think the OS runs the "connecting to the AP" process, or "coding/decoding audio" process in realtime. As the CPU phone seems to be slow, it only can run this processes, so the phone can FREEZE during a call, for example. The phone can't EVEN REACT TO THE BUTTONS!!!! I.e: you cannot send DTMF or end the call easily. This flaw doesn't happen always but it's annoying. The roaming SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK if the roaming requires to change to another ESSID. Almost 90% of all cases the phone can connect to the new AP, but the phone can't register to the SIP proxy. You must RESTART the phone. Luckily, in the Tools menu, you can reset the phone choosing "RESTART". Not only the software has design flaws in the behaviour, but has another flaws in other areas. Some things I remember: - If you make a call from the Call Log or the Phonebook, it inserts garbage in the number dialed. For example: if I try to dial 124 from the Call Log, the phone shows "124p" when dials. Fortunately, I can filter the garbage in Asterisk, but this is a simple case. If I dialed from a large number, say, 9-1-305-XXXXXXX, it inserts 5 or 8 random characters (not only ASCII!!!). What a shame.... - If any IP information is entered with a DNS name, when you need to establish a call, or receive, the phone waits until the DNS gives the answer. Someone could say "that's normal" but the main problem is THE PHONE HANGS DURING 4-8 SECONDS!!!! If you put IP numbers, the problem disappears immediately. - The people that wrote the manual doesn't know the phone very well. The phone has two buttons (one labeled "||" and another with two arrows turning clockwise and counterclockwise). In the manual, THERE ISN'T A SINGLE REFERENCE to this two buttons. In the layout phone explanation, this two buttons are intentionally ignored. I only discovered the || button holds the call, the meaning of the second button is still a mistery for me. - Closing or opening the phone only makes a tone play, but the phone ignores it: if you are talking and you close the phone, the call isn't terminated. And, if the phone is ringing, you can't answer the call opening it. Sadly, as you can see, the phone has software errors. Surprisingly, the hardware works perfectly: you can charge the phone with any mini-USB charger. I use a Motorola and works flawlessly. You can charge it with a USB port, and doesn't need any driver. Audio sounds excellent, and react VERY WELL when the phone begins to lose incoming RTP packets, sounds like a cellphone losing signal. Because of that, I rate the phone as 1 star. The design flaws in the software made me think the software wasn't tested thoroughly. All the bugs can be solved easily, but seems the original manufacturer didn't know the meaning of the word "debug" (the phone is a D-Link-rebadged, because the phone is made by a Japanese manufacturer). I will phase out this phone, So I prefer to use a Nokia E71 that has GSM/UMTS connectivity and can made SIP/VoIP calls, all in only one phone.

This review is from: D-Link DPH-541 802.11g/b Wi-Fi VoIP Phone (Silver ) (Personal Computers)
The battery cover removed easily and inserting the battery was a breeze. After creating a mandatory password for networking, my Dlink DPH-541 immediately found my router and accepted an IP (you must remember to enter your security key, if any, and to turn off MAC filtering if it's been turned on). All I had to do was enter my SIP provider's info to receive inbound calls and make outbound calls, all in less than 30 minutes.This phone only works with providers that don't have audio codec conflicts when all codecs must coexist in the queue. That's because the DPH-541 does not have a means of removing conflicting codecs from the queue. It's best to test your SIP provider's compatibility by placing its SIP credentials into a free softphone first to see if inbound calls can be heard without having to remove any codecs from the queue. There is no Keep-Alive feature with the DPH-541, so if your VOIP provider or PBX service does not periodically send a Keep-Alive ping you'll find that the phone stops receiving calls after an hour or so, even when registered. Lastly, I found that you can't go clicking the buttons on this phone as quickly as you would on a cellphone or it might lock up, in which case you'll need to remove and reinsert the battery.
