Ipevo Skype Desktop Phone Review - ProjectGadget.com

That's the whole point. Having a desktop Skype phone that is connected to the internet via ethernet is superior to wireless for call quality. You should have both a wireless Skype solution and a hard line version if you use Skype alot. For me, I make international calls and need the consistency of a phone like this. Otherwise you hear echos and experience call drop outs on a wifi phone like the netgear for example. In addition call can be affected by router placement in wireless.

I was more interested in a cordless (not necessarily wifi) phone that also works as a landline phone- but they are all so expensive. Nice review anyways.

In that case pick up a Logitech Skype cordless phone. Worked good for me and used in the office. Has a distance of 150', good battery life and sound. Should be $75 or so and appreciate the feedback on the review. Always trying to make them better.

Not a problem, just also want to mention an alternative to Skype- ooma, you might have heard of them; you spend $250 once and its free lifetime service(although you may or may not be able to use it internationally). It uses you internet to make VOIP calls and works independently from your computer. I have had it since 08 and have had a very good experience, although recently the internet on computers and gaming consoles gets disconnected whenever someone uses the phone. BTW I am not affiliated.

By Internationally, I mean taking their whole "ooma hub" overseas to make free calls. You can make international calls from your house. And it also supports 911.

thanks for the tip, i already have unlimited calls in us and canada with verizon fios so skype is really for international. I like the one time fee you mentioned.

Thanks for the info but that phone still needs a computer to work. I think I will settle for either Phillips VOIP 841 or RTX Dualphone 3088.

If you need to be wireless and can use wi-fi the only phone to get is the IPEVO S0-20 as everyone has raved about it. I haven't tried it personally but check that out. Let me know if you get the others. thx
