Customer Review: Restored My Ability To Use Skype
Summary: 5 Stars
Because I am an ex-pat living in the Dominican Republic, being able to make Skype calls to my sons and other family members in the US is very important to me. However, when I got back to the Dominican Republic last week with the laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) I bought while in the US, I found that sound quality was terrible compared with what I enjoyed with previous computer running XP.
Doing some research, I found the Ipevo products listed on Amazon. My first thought was to get the SO-20 wifi phone since that would not be attached to the computer, but checking the IPEVO website, I found it was out of production. I then looked at the USB handset, which had very good reviews. I contacted IPEVO customer service to confirm it supported Windows 7 64-bit and was assured that it did and directed to where I could download the driver for Windows 7: [...]
Today the phone arrived including a cd with a driver. However, the manual said to check the IPEVO website to be sure you had the proper driver, so I downloaded the Windows 7 driver and when I ran it, rather than the using the CD. From that point on, everything happened as the users manual described and the phone was soon installed and recognized by the computer and Skype.
To test the phone, with bated breath I made a call to the Skype test number, and sound quality was superb...as good or better as I had with the previous computer.
I am so pleased that if it were possible to give this product more than 5 stars, I would do so.
