Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link Skype USB Phone Adapter
Customer Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical this product and so cheap under $10, but when I install properly,and hook up with Ooma and regular cordless phone Panasonic, Wow I love it. Install drivers from D-Link website.
I'm using Ooma and Skype, It will save your money for long distance especially calling to other country.
I upgraded my Skype newest one (3.8.0.188), no problem at all.
Tips: If you want dial long distance (other country) make sure on VOIP mode(press ##)and then press 00+country code+area code+phone number+press *
For Local press 001+area code+phone number+press *
Make sure on Skype online you selected right country you will dialing first.
I will recommended this product for who using Skype.
Customer Review: Noobie doofs don't pay attention, buy a cell phone.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just installed the software that came with the adapter. NO problems at all. Anyone with basic knowledge of computers will have no problems either. The only thing to watch is when Skype recognizes the adapter is to allow it to access your Skype account. It appears in the Skype window in underlined blue (like a url link) in the upper left hand corner. People that had issues probably didn't see the permission link.
Sound quality excellent and is working perfectly. Plus once installed you only have to pick up the landline and then click your contact in Skype and it dials it for you. Nearly idiot proof which may say something about the previous reviewers that rated it lower.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Very much satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
I was little skeptical since I wanted to configure this device on my windows vista desktop. After reading few positive feedbacks about using on vista, I decided to give it a try.
Installing DPH-50U was a breeze and absolutely no hassles of any types. I just did one simple google search for latest drivers for Vista. Downloaded them from dlink support site. Installed as per instruction and device was up and running. Then I connected my Motorola cordless phone to it and subscribed for skype in ($18 for 3 months) and I was ready with my new landline phone.
Skype call quality is very good. And DPH-50U installation was amazingly simple and straightforward.
Overall, I am very satisfied.
Customer Review: This item worked out of the box
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying I read all the reviews, and on other sites too. I was nervous about this solution since I had attempted another Skype wifi product some years ago, namely the CIT 200.
The DHP-50U allowed me to use my existing cordless phone network which kept the expenses down while keeping my household happy, since their learning and comfort zones were not challenged. Sure, it is not the same as a traditional AT&T/Bell dial tone phone.
Again, this product worked right out of the box, no extraordinary measures.
NOTE: I am not using the PSTN features of the phone, just the Skype / USB portion. Also, I would also prefer the adapter run on Linux.
Customer Review: Happy user
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks to everyone's reviews, I didn't mess around. I went straight to D-Link's website and downloaded the new driver. No problems at all. I use this skype adapter in conjuction with GE 28128EE2 Dect 6.0 Series Cell Fusion Phone which links to my cell phone by bluetooth. I got rid of my landline and feel very high tech.
It's worth noting that the sound quality improved when I started using this device compared to when I used Skype with a headset. So not only does it make Skype easier to use but improves sound quality. Does this happen to everybody?
