 | Netgear SPH-200D Dual Mode Cordless Phone with Skype | |
 | "Mostly good, but" | 2009-08-14 |
| I decided in January to take the plunge: drop the landline and go Skype (and cellphone). It's worked out pretty well since then with this phone. I did want a phone that could be used without the computer on, and the reviews I've read for the wireless phones makes it sound like those aren't yet ready for prime time. The phone has worked fine for the most part. Pros: - Good sound quality - Reliability - Made the transition pretty seamless from landline to skype Cons: - The phone features and design remind me of phones we were using 20 years ago. Pretty basic. Not even a redial button. - As others have mentioned, it resets sometimes, or you have to go reset the phone by unplugging it from the router. - Touch tones don't always work on automated menus, or for entering in the extensions of employees. - Call waiting is horrible. I'd prefer to disable it, but the phone won't let you do that. If you don't answer the other call it beeps at you constantly. | ||
 | Philips VOIP 080 Skype Cordless VOIP Travel Phone | |
 | "Not as advertised by Amazon" | 2008-04-05 |
| The Philips phone is fine, but the description listed by Amazon is not accurate. I guess I should have known not to believe that a CORDLESS VOIP phone would be available for $20. I returned it, went to a local store and paid $40 more, and now have a cordless VOIP phone. I don't quite understand the advantage of having a phone hooked into a USB port over a pair of headphones, which I already have. | ||
