Skype Phone Adaptor

They don't tell you this until you buy one, hook it up, follow the instructions, then go to their website (because their customer service/tech support phone number is out of service) and there if you follow the right sequence of links you can find this little gem: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH HD SOUNDCARDS ! ! !

Got this for a client who ended up not using it. I have a Philips Voip321 Skype/Dect phone for use with land line and Skype so didn't really need it. But decided to drop the land line all together and add a second Skype number for use with this unit.All in all, it works just fine if you don't mind adding in your numbers/contacts using their feeble interface and you don't have an HD audio adapter as one reviewer pointed out. I was actually stumped on that for a while too, but have the luxury of other computers around and it tested fine on another so ended up researching and finding the mouse trail back to that info.Ya, Skype is the "AOL" of voip, but at $30 a year for unlimited calls to US and CA with an incoming #, voice mail and all that, I'll settle for a while longer.

I got the Skype Phone Adapter with hopes of being able to use a standard phone with Skype on my computer. This thing is a plastic box with an LED and some mic and head phone jacks. It connect to your mic and headphone jacks on your computer and plugs into the wall for power. Then you connect your phone and all I could hear was a slight buzzing noise when I was making a call. If someone answered I could hear them but they heard nothing. I returned it within 2 days.
