Finally a cordless Skype phone that does not require a PC. Just connect the DUALphone base station to your broadband connection, and then you can talk free of charge with your Skype friends or call other landline numbers worldwide – either using the extremely low SkypeOut rates or as usual via your regular landline operator. The popular Skype user interface and the attractive colour display gives you tomorrow's telephone today and for the future, because it is easy and simple to download new software directly from the phone. The phone has superior sound quality, is naturally cordless and has a range of up to 300 metres. It is easy to install, easy to use and a natural choice as your conference phone.

Highly recommended. It does exactly what it says on the box - and more! Anonymous

4.5/5 roll over for details

Good points Easiest set-up of any IT product I ever bought. Very intuitive interface and menu structure. Integrates 100% with Skype. If your family uses Skype and a land-line, you need this phone.

Bad points The buttons are very "rubbery" and give poor feed-back. the print on the buttons is also very small. This is the only area where the phone falls down. However, once you get used to them - it is not such a big deal.

Other thoughts

If you purchase this phone, make sure you upgrade the firmware to the latest version. You may have to go through the firmware upgrade cycle more than once, as it may be necessary to load interim version before latest version upgrade can take place. When I purchased the phone, I was initially dissapointed with the quality of the sound, however the firmware upgrade sorted this out. Firmware upgrade is simple - just follow instructions in the book.

Use this phone with SkypeOut to replace your normal phone line, the cost savings are phenomenal. I have worked out that to run this phone for a year costs less than running a normal landline for a month!!.

Use Ligo for an excellent service
