NETGEAR SPH200D DUALPHONE,
10th Mar 2007
Quality product, effortless ease to set-up. If you use SKYPE regulary get this product! The integrated SKYPE means you do not have to link it to your pc and have that switched on constantly. This is a product that even the technically inept will love to use.
Regards Daniel

Netgear SPH200D Dual mode phone,
12th Sep 2007
An excellent well made phone, clear simple instructions and easily set up. It worked perfectly as soon as I'd charged the batteries. You simply plug one cable into a modem router and the second into the land line. Set up was automatic. Clear reception via either the land line or via Skype. (I already had a Skype account set up and it was easy to set up the same account on the phone). I've subsequently bought a second handset (model Netgear 150D) which again, worked as soon as I plugged it into the charger. It works throughout my house. Recommended product.

easy to use skype phone,
25th Apr 2007
Finally I can double-task while making a skype call! I ordered for this telephone two days ago and it arrived yesterday. Setup was easy, just had to connect the base station to the mains and to my ethernet and I was all set. A nifty little feature I noticed is that if you make a local call it asks you if you would prefer it to be a skype call or a landline call. Sound quality is good so far for both skype and landline calls. However, the ringtones that comes with it are dodgy to say the least, and somewhat embarrassing when one has guests. But aside from that quibble, this phone lives up to its claims.

a good skype phone,
21st Apr 2007
What’s best about this skype phone/land line is that it works with either an ADSL USB modem or a broadband router, unlike some other skype phones. If you use skype a lot, another perk is that you don’t need to be tied to your pc to use skype. The unit was easy to install and set up, and I was able to inslall an additional non-Netgear GAP compatible phone. Sound quality is good. All in all, very good value. Ligo delivered this to my doorstep in no time at all.
