1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - Major Driver/Software Issues, September 21, 2009

By	John M. Beerman "John" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this device for about 6 weeks now and the drivers for this device makes it border-line unusable. To use this with a computer, you must install the Yealink software (Skypemate) which runs in the background as a service. However, this software is poorly coded and also contains a memory leak. This program will crash without warning once the memory leak gets too large (this may only be an issue if you leave your computer on all the time). Also, this program often times crashed while running. (cutting off a phone conversation minutes into it)

I checked online and this is a common problem. I have tried both an older version of Skype (3) with an older driver(included on the CD) for this device and the newest version of Skype (4) with their newest driver (downloaded from their website) and still have had problems. I have tried this on two computers (one with a completely fresh installation) running Vista Pro 32-bit with all service packs.

I will be buying a different phone/adapter for use with Skype as I am tired of having the adapter drop the phone call after talking for 4 min, or not accept incoming calls at all since the program crashed. Also, enabling the CID functionality causes the device to not work at all.

The hardware itself is rock-solid and if they released a well tested, good driver, this would be a steal. Too bad Yealink has not invested money into decent software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, September 1, 2009

You can use skype as if it was a regular phone line, without using the comp. Just leave the comp turned on and all you need is the phone with caller id and speed dials . The only problem is when you want to use all the features you have to use skype older version, but this is a skype problem and not this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Skype, May 15, 2009

By	Dian Enriquez "Dian Enriquez" (West Palm Beach, FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product works great with skype, but if you try to use it with X-lite you will get line noise and the other person will have a hard time hearing you.
