Product Description

Product Description

With VOIP 321 you can make free Skype calls as well as normal landline calls. You can make and take calls on both networks from one single handset, and you can see who is on-line without going to the PC, just by looking at the display.

Manufacturer's Description

The Philips VoIP cordless handset offers the same ease-of-use and freedom as any regular cordless phone. You're free to leave your computer and roam around your home while you phone because it works independently of your PC. And with a cordless range of 300m and up to 12 hours of talk time, you'll stay in touch no matter how far your conversation goes!

A dual phone for all your callsskype

The Philips VoIP dual phone enables you to make or take regular landline calls and free Skype internet calls from the same cordless handset. That means you can replace your traditional handset with a single Philips VoIP phone for all your Skype and regular calls. Simply switch between regular and internet calling at the push of a button any time you like.

Use Skype freely anywhere in your houseLifestyle

The Philips VoIP dual phone works cordlessly with DECT technology so you don't need to be next to your PC every time you use Skype. You can make all your calls via the cordless handset and roam freely around your home while you phone.

The beauty of advanced design

A dual phone with a sleek and elegant design. Slim and curved, it will look good in your home and feel great in your hand. And it's more than a pretty face, because the Philips VoIP dual phone is designed from top to bottom for complete convenience and ease of use.

Crystal clear phone calls

Skype has crystal clear sound that makes it seems like you're actually in the same room as the person with whom you're talking. That's because the technology behind Skype doesn't compress the audio for that muffled effect you usually get with regular phones. The Philips VoIP takes this one step further with Voice Enhancing Technology. You'll never want to go back to regular calling!

Skype line and landline

The Philips VoIP dual phone makes and takes both regular landline calls and free Skype calls. That means you can keep your landline number and make calls the way you always do, as well as benefiting from all the advantages of Skype.

Speakerphone

Use the speakerphone to make hands-free calls or take advantage of Skype free conference calling with up to nine friends at once.

Stay in touch with technology too

Skype is constantly upgraded and updated with new and improved features - like enhanced conference calling - that you'll be able to download and use via your Philips VoIP handset, just like using Skype on a computer

Skype Certified

The Philips VoIP is Skype certified. That means it not only works perfectly with Skype but also feels great to use.

Skype conference calling.

Skype also lets you make free conference calls with up to nine people at once. Invite all your friends or family to chat on one call and enjoy the party!

2007 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.

The Philips VoIP dual phones have been awarded in 2007 with the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards. The prestigious awards are given to groundbreaking consumer electronics products with outstanding design and engineering.

We've been using Olympia Dual Skype phones for 3 years or more. The problem with them is that after about 6 months of use the display starts to disappear. At the time we first got the Olympia it was the only Cordless Skype phone available. Now there is a wider choice. We thought Philips would be pretty reliable and opted for the 3212 Duo phone set - at just a few pounds more than the 3211 single phone. The package arrived with a small clear instruction booklet - which we followed exactly ... and that was a mistake as the supplied software is designed for Windows XP and does not work with Windows Vista. If you want to use these phones on Vista you will need to download the Vista compatible software from the Philips site 1st - DO NOT use the supplied disk. If in doubt search the Skype forums for VOIP321 - where you may find solutions to the Vista problems. OK so we wasted many hours trying numerous different ways to get the software installed before we finally succeeded - but once we didthe phones themselves are great. Unlike the Olympia - with the Voip321 - you can put your phones anywhere you like in your house - it is only the little base-transmitter-box than needs to plug in to the PC. The sound quality is pretty good. The menus and options on the phones are easy to use - they appear to work happily with both Skype and normal calls, so hopefully we will now have several years of trouble free use.

Having purchased this twin pack from Amazon without reading the reviews and as I experienced over 3 hours of lost time trying to get it to work. I use Vista Ultimate. All the problems previously reported in other Amazon reviews happened to me (the phone was connected to the computer but not recognised by Skype) - in the end I solved the problem by completely removing skype from my computer, connecting the phones hub directly into a usb port on my tower and installing the download from Philips' website (file called; voip3211s_01_cdi_eng), make sure the compatibility mode (XP version) & `run this program as an administrator' is used for the USB phone driver (right click on icon & select compatibility tab). The downloaded software also installs a version of skype that works - do not be tempted to install the very latest skype program as this caused the same connecting problems. The phone works great - took a bit of head scratching to conclude that you have to use the big `S' button to make your skype calls and if the number is one that is not already in your skype contacts then you have to dial it by dropping the `0' and replacing it with `+44', the `+' digit is inputted by holding down the `0' for a couple of seconds. Very good range on phone, good sound & build quality. Aprently it works fine with Windows XP. Also read the reviews for the single handset option.

vista problems!!! 16 Oct 2008
Although they say this item is vista compatible beware!!! Despire the reviews here saying it's simply a case of downloading the latest driver it's not that simple. Search google for 'VOIP321 vista driver' and you'll find a community of people all of whom can't get this working with vista.

The only reported solution is having to install an extra PCI VIA 6212L Chipset based 4/5 port usb controller. (these are around £7) but still it's an extra headache. [update: have installed this usb card, unistalled skype and Voip321 software and renistalled from the vista download on philips site and.. it worked!!] Intially I'd had problems with the microphone not recording but this was fixed by uninstall reinstall. I also had to loose a TV tuner card to free up a pci slot for the usb hub which is a pain and shouldn't have been necessary.

These are outdated models
I have tried just about everything to get these phones to work on VISTA and failed. As VISTA and Windows 7 are the latest operating system I would have expected this to be noted... Read more

Lack of win 7 support let's it down
The product itself would get 5 stars were it not for the complete lack of win 7 support. Had to revert back to xp, if you are using xp I recommend this product!
