Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The new Cordless DUALphone is the first cordless Internet telephone on the market, using Skype. It has been developed with you in mind and uses the latest technology, making it easy to install and cheap to use.

The Cordless DUALphone is a cordless telephone that can be connected to a normal telephone socket and a USB port on a PC. The display shows whether your friends who also use Skype, are online. If they are, you simply have to press the appropriate green button and talk to them for free no matter where they are in the world.

If their PC is switched off, or you want to call someone who doesn't use Skype, you simply press the other green button and call via the standard telephone connection.

With the Cordless DUALphone you get both an Internet and normal telephone in one and the same product, which means you get an extra hands-free telephone line at home. You can dial and receive normal telephone calls or calls over the Internet. And naturally, there are no more sockets and wires to worry about.

There's no need to sit in front of your PC anymore to make free calls over the Internet. With the Cordless DUALphone you can roam within a radius of up to 300 metres from the base station. This means, for example, that you can be in the garden, or at a neighbour's house and still receive calls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes SKYPE useable, 17 Oct 2005
By !Pete (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Excellent piece of kit. Simply plug into your phone line and a USB port on your computer and Skype becomes easy! All you Skype contacts are shown on the LCD. Should you want to use SkypeOut all that nonsense about adding +44 to UK calls is redundant, just enter the number as usual. The only difference is you leave the area on for local calls.

Until you get a truly stand alone Skype phone that is not reliant on a computer, this is the best solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, 22 Jan 2006
By Mark Webb "marcos_cu" (Chorley,UK) - See all my reviews
  
If you are a regular Skype user then you should not be without this device. It works seamlessly and well with your PC's Skype connection as well as flawlessly as an everday cordless phone.

I have chatted to friends in China and Poland from the garden of my UK house with a crystal clear Skype connection. Just enter a number and choose one 'Send' button to dial normally or the other 'Send' button to dial via Skype. It rings with separate tones for incoming Skype or landline calls and even allows you to hold simultaneous conversations on both systems.

Downside? Well, you have to visit the website on a regular basis to check for software updates to integrate with new versions of Skype. Also, a few more ring tones or the option to import external ringtones would be nice. Also, the mono LCD screen is a bit dim sometimes. Otherwise - 100%

4.0 out of 5 stars The Olympia Dualphone, 22 Mar 2006
By M. Bailey "bmark67" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I brought my dualphone in November 2005 and have no regrets. It has all the standard functions of a digital cordless phone plus the ability to connect to a PC via an USB port. This enables it to be fully compatiable with Skype and even show you who is online on its backlit lcd text screen. The phone enables you to make free skype to skype calls and Skype out calls away from the computer in another room. The dual phone web site has regular updates. Two minor negative points are your computer has to be switched on in order to use the Skype service and the software does not automatically update, so you have to visit the web site and check for updates yourself. Over all I think this is an excellent product and currently the best available cordless phone for Skype as it allows you to manage both standard landline and Skype calls. Theoretically if everyone you knew subscribed to skype you would never have to pay for a phone call ever again!
