RTX DUALphone 3088 Twin for Skype (no PC

Have used this skype phone previously at a friend’s house and I was won over immediately at its ease of use. Purchased this set of two and immediately put them to task as soon as the ligo delivery arrived the next day. Connecting the base station to both the Ethernet and the landline was straightforward, as was registering the second handset to the base station. Using skype was a breeze as well, since I have an existing account. I could also access my skype contacts through the phone which is a good feature.
Generally the menu interface is easy to understand and the keys though a bit tough were easy enough to press. The best discovery was that sound quality for overseas calls was superior to that of skype on a PC. What I disliked about this phone was you couldn’t store contacts for making landline calls. All landline numbers that you store in the telephone are automatically called through skypeOut. You have to dial the numbers if you want to make a landline call. I still haven’t maximized the possibilities of these two phones. I’d like to try attempting a conference call via skype in the future.

It's an OK phone but missing some feature in my opinion. You cant's send text messages or conference. But it's nice to see your credit on screen and is generally easy to use. I bought two phones but couldn't find the instruction on how to connect two handsets to one base station but it's so very easy! I would say it's a good phone.

Excellent product - a little tricky to set up both handsets (one registered automatically, the other didn't) but got there in the nd.
Also seems to provide a second base station (it's really just two units) so you may be able to set up two Skype lines - discuss?

This phone was not my first choice as originally I had ordered the Phillips version, but this ended up being out of stock and so I was offered this phone as an alternative. As it turns out this phone has delivered on all aspects that I wanted and needed from it... primarily the Skype facility and landline choice plus caller I.D. I have found that when Skype is struggling with a weak signal and the quality of the calls are poor on the laptop, I seem to get a slightly better quality call using the phone handset, which is very welcome as this has been happening a lot over the last month (June 08)! Plus it was significantly cheaper than the Phillips phone!
