Customer Review: A Great Phone For Skype Users
Summary: 5 Stars
As a fairly regular SKYPE user, I was searching for a suitable U.S.B. phone to use on my Mac G-4 laptop.
This unit, which comes with instructions written clearly, and NOT FOR ENGINEERS ONLY, was easy to set up, and use in a matter of a couple of minutes. The software, which installed rapidly, had no glitches, and guided me through the instructions with no problems.
As far as use, it works extremely well, with a nicely lit keyboard, and easy to read keys, both numeric, and those for the various functions.
Audio quality is very good, and I actually prefer using this phone, over the often-used USB Headset, with microphone, which obviously is somewhat limiting.
It is a well engineered and well made item, that should serve you well, for a very reasonable price.
Customer Review: Philips VOIP080 Best Skype Phone - Can get it cheaper though
Summary: 5 Stars
This phone is AMAZING!!! I first got into Skype using my built-in laptop camera and microphone...but didn't like the 'publicity' of using it like that...so I got this box, called a ZOOM box...and while it has some neat features...it is a RESOURCE HOG! You have to nearly have a CAD station to run that thing properly!
So...I suffered...then, I decided hey, WM had the Philips on sale and I might as well try it...well, guess what? This thing is nearly as clear as a landline, without the cost! LOVE IT! By the way...Wallie-World has this phone marked down to $10.00 in electronics!!! I HIGHLY recommend a visit there, first! I bought three and gave two away to friends...they are wonderful!
Customer Review: Great, great, great. Just cut my cell bill in half.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little skeptical about trying a Skype handset, I've had poor luck with any headsets I've tried and just wanted something as simple and portable as possible. This won me over. The installation is quick and painless (Vista users - download the latest drivers from Philips), the sound quality is fantastic, and its small and light enough to keep in my laptop bag. It even works over a cellular internet connection very well. My cell bill has been pushing $180 a month, and this will cut it by at least half since most of my calls are outgoing. $3 a month for the Skype Out service, and life is good. Buy it, you will love it.Customer Review: wow, a real phone!
Summary: 5 Stars
After using skype with a microphone and headphones for years, getting this phone piece is the most novel thing since the invention of the internet. It works (nearly) flawlessly, has great sound quality, and it almost feels independant of my computer, even though it is still very much bound to Skype. The best thing is that even though it feels like I have a real phone, I'm still paying next to nothing in subscription fees. People go around acting like cell phones are the future. No, they never were to me. THIS is the future.Customer Review: Travel Phone, Great for Travel lol
Summary: 5 Stars
Make sure you install the software EXACTLY the way the instructions say so the phone will control Skype properly. Phone is actually very clear. Perfect for travelling. I just came back from Amsterdam and I paid the 10 Euro internet fee at the hotel and used this phone the entire trip to call the US (I have the unlimited Skype plan)for free and it was great. If you have a Skype plan and you travel frequently, this is a Definite Buy.
