Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link Skype USB Phone Adapter
Customer Review: Works as described.
Summary: 5 Stars
1. Download and install the latest drivers form DLink website (v. 1.1)
2. If you have a DSL - DO NOT connect it to the same line as your modem connected if you don't have a DSL provider's filter (the big one in the basement, not the little once for each phone)installed. The features like Call Forwarding and Toll Bypass will not work.
3. The manual is not clear about what is the phone # format should be used for Call Forwarding. FYI: 1 + Area Code + ######. No spaces or dashes.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 and the latest version of Skype. Works like a charm (knock on a wood :o) ).
Good luck.
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
[...] Can't complain it. My system is Windows 2000 so I downloaded USRobotic driver following other reviewers suggestions. Dropped after 30 seconds and quite noisy.
I then downloaded the latest software from D-Link. Although the website shows the driver is only for Vista, I still gave it a try. The Vista driver works well in my Windows 2K system. No dropped call and no noise.
I give it 5 stars based on its cost and functionality. It would be great if they have a Skype adaptor in ethernet verion so I don't need to turn on my computer and can re-use my cordless phone.
Customer Review: Great Call Quality!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well I just got my adapter today and I already installed and used it and all I can say is that I LOVE IT !!! call quality are great..
However I follow the instruction in another review, that was not to used the CD-RM that came in the package. What I did was 1) go to d-link web site 2)search for this product which name is DPH-50U 3) click in drivers and download the latest one 4) installed the software first and then installed the device to the computer.
**Also keep in mind that if you keep using your landline you must dial ##001-area code-phone number-* this will be helpful
Customer Review: Works fine for me.

I use this item with it's own phone. I followed the the instructions, all right , I didn't follow the instructions, not the first time. It didn't work. But, when I did follow the instructions it work right away and now I use the phone instead of the headset. This is not a substitute for Vonage or other VOIP services. The computer has to be on for the unit to be used but that's okay, mine is on most of the time and I'm used to calling on Skype. For 10 bucks, grab it while you can. The rebate is over soon.Customer Review: I definitely recommend this.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I figured if this works I can just use it as a cheap home phone with Skype. I figured if it didn't that it was cheap enough that I wouldn't be out a whole lot of money and could just switch to the phone service through my cable company. Well I am still using the d-link dph-50u and skype and every thing works great. I cant tell any difference from the cable companies phone service. The only bad thing is you will obviously have to have your computer on all the time.
