I've had this working in my home for about 6 months now and it works flawlessly. The setup is really easy - just plug it into your dsl/cable modem/router and the electric supply and that's all there is to it! Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Great value for money especially now with the rebate..

Perfect phone system for VoIP. Seamless operation with voicemail and other VoIP functions. Packet 8 now offers 7-digit dialing as well.

Works great. Improved our reception greatly over the prior phone that we were using with our Packet 8 service,

GREAT PRODUCT. I REALLY LIKE IT ONCE GOT IT UP AND RUNNING. IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR A SIMPLE MINDED OLD MAN, BUT I MANAGED.

I was an early adopter and have used this phone now for a few years. It has literally saved me over $25,000 in personal call phone charges when overseas. The Uniden equipment is top notch, the software is stable, sound quality is perfect (95% land line) and customer support for some minor issues was adequate. I also have the 800 number in the USA, and it also works great. This phone and service has been fantastic (especially for the price)and I recommend it to anyone that makes lots of long distance calls.

I already had a voip provider (NOT VONAGE)and I only pay $10/mo. I don't want to change providers. I had voip phones and they were ruined when my house was flooded. So I did a search for voip phones and I came across this model. I didn't see that I had to use a specific voip provider. I wanted a voip phone, not a voip phone and a provider. And the packet8 company that this phone uses, is significantly more expensive than the company I use...itp4you.com. Very disappointed.

I purchased one of these online from Ice Monkey dot com but it was the generic version not the dedicated Packet8 version. However, I ended up sending it back because it would not work at all. I tried it with 2 Qwest DSL modems, an Actiontec GT704-WG on an ADSL network and with an Actiontec Q1000 on a 20Mb VDSL network. The problem was the phone's Ethernet port would not connect with either of the DSL modems, the light for the port would not come on, it wasn't recognized and it wouldn't do anything. If the device is not recognized as being connected to one of the Ethernet ports there is nothing else you can do and it's dead in the water. I found that I could connect a SunRocket VOIP adapter made by InnoMedia in place of this phone and it worked perfectly so I know there was nothing wrong at my end. I'm going to go with the InnoMedia VOIP adapter and a standard Uniden cordless phone.

Very nice seller to deal with. They were prompt in answering any questions I had...I do not hesitate to recommend them. :)

I am completely happy with this phone, good sound quality, in base and remote. Very user friendly.

I CHECKED THE OTHER REVIEWS (THE BAD ONE'S) AND I THINK SOME OF THEIR PROBLEM'S ARE POOR INTERNET CONNECTION'S BUT LOOKS LIKE VONAGE HAS INPROVED A LITTLE TOO. I DID HAVE A PROBLEM THE FIRST DAY ,TWO OF US HAD THE SAME NUMBER. THE SOUND IS BETTER THAN MY PHONE COMPANY.I HAVE HAD IT OVER A MONTH NOW AND I LIKE IT. WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS NO JUNK PHONES CALLS,I KNOW THE LOCAL PHONES CONPANY GIVES OUT MY PHONE NUMBER ,HEHE THEY DON'T KNOW MY NEW PHONE NUMBER AND I PLAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. BE CAREFULL WHO YOU GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO.
