I purchased this product to use as my office phone with Skype while I work at home with my baby. I was worried that such a cheap phone would not work well, especially with a wireless connection. But I have had absolutely no problems. There is a relatively lengthly cord attached to the phone, & it's more comfortable to hold then my cell phone. Nice display. The only complaints I have with it is the Skype interface/settings, but that isn't the phones fault. I do wish some of the phone settings themselves were easier to discern by the graphics. I'll have to look at the manual to figure them out. All in all a good phone, especially for the price.

so far i haven't had any problems with this phone. the software surprisingly integrated easily. the phone is lighter than i had expected, and i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. all functions are clear and user friendly. the only problem i have is that the little rubber thingy on the side of the phone that's supposed to cover an input for headphones is really flimsy and kinda annoying, so i just cut it off. i got it for 22 bucks, and certainly can't complain. i wanted to experiment with a peripheral for using skype, before investing in more expensive hardware, and am pleased.

At first I had some problems installing the software on my 1st computer. I am running Windows XP Home SP3. Because of a Windows update, the autorun feature on my computer is turned off. I went to My Computer and double clicked on the CD. No problem after that. The phone comes with 10 different ringtones but only 5 different sounds. 1 sound is either loud or soft. It has a long cord attached to the phone about 6 foot in length. The sound quality is very good. I would recommend this to my friends.

This is a great phone that can be used with any computers & laptops without having to install the softwear

I bought this when last in the states and wish I could return it - but not worth the shipping
* Does not play well with others - constantly screwing up settings and if you use it will minimize the Skype window.
* Poor user manual - looks like an after thought
* No support on the web page
* The concept is great -- The performance sucks !!! - I suspect the problem is the software - I am using a Thinkpad and XP and it just does not work well at all

BOTTOM LINE - DO NOT BUY

I use it for MSN Messenger and about every third time I use it, the phone crashes my PC. The MS message is "driver issues." Tried updating phone driver, but didn't fix the problem. Phone does work though and you can't beat free PC to PC calls anywhere in the world.

Changed my mind about SKYPE. I love it! The SKYPE service center does respond quickly. They may be closed over the weekends. That may explain why I did not get a response the next day. I think this VOIP is taking off faster than expected and they were backed up on the staff. I was over charged for some reason, but they reimbursed the overcharges. They settled my complaints and questions to my satisfaction. When I purchased the phone, I knew nothing at all about SKYPE or if could even get it. So I purchased the cheapest phone I could just to see if I could use it. I do not live in a metro area with the latest technology-sometimes things takes a year, OR TEN, OR TWENTY before it hits Lafayette LA.

Here is one thing I found out. If anyone is having trouble with the other person hearing or breaking up, plug it into a different USB. I thought all USB's were the same.

Software is incredibly easy and fast.


I am very happy with Amazons service and selections on items unavailable in stores. I do not like the hassle looking for parking place, store moving things around from the last time I spent 30 minutes looking, being followed by store managers and clerks, asking if you need help when the clerk needs help finding out where everything is herself-Amazon is resolving that problem. Amazon, you are changing the way people are shopping.

I would like to see Amazon put all items on the prime membership agreement.
