Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It works, but feels like a v1
The best I can say about this product is that it generally works as advertised. I connect the base station to a USB port on my computer and, as long as the computer is on and I'm logged into Skype, I can make and receive calls with this phone. The range is pretty good--my computer (and the phone's base station) are on one end of my 2BR apartment and the phone has a clear connection even when I'm on the other end (maybe 25 yards). I haven't had any of the problems that others have experienced with ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - ok.
I got this phone cheap, as it has been discontinued. The phone is nice, durable, easy to use, and convenient. However, installing the phone will 'hijack' your audio capabilities, meaning that you can't listen to music or watch the news after install.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - stay way from this phone
This phone is to expensive for what it does, I am very disappointed with it. it loses connection often shows unavailable and I have to unplug it from the USB port and plug it back again to work, I am glad I am a computer tech I even found out by myself that I have to remove the battery out to reset it and make it to work again which it does not say in the owner's manual.I use an older version of skype 2.5.0.113 because this phone does not work with a new version of skype. I updated skip and I had to ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Battery life short
First of all after charging the battery, it lost life quickly. I was only able to use it for less than an hour.

Secondly, it completely upsets my volume. I cannot receive sounds from my speakers when I connect the phone. I was disappointed.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great value
The telephony kit is a great value for the $$. It was so easy to install and use. Small and compact to fit in your lugage for traveling. Totally recommend it.
