 An Exceptional, Useful Skype (VOIP) Phone Adapter |
| Review Date: August 10, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Susanna Hutcheson, Midwest U.S.A. |
I wanted an extra Skype phone near my easy chair where I do a lot of my work and where I have a laptop. But I didn't want to buy another Skype phone as I have two already. So I thought I'd try this cheap adapter.
I was blown away! I didn't hook it to the land line as I have a land line phone nearby. I also didn't want to take a chance on making LD calls on the land line.
So I hooked up a phone I bought at a garage sale for a quarter. I set the Skypemate software to recognize the USB port first, not the land line, which is the default.
It worked like a dream. I can make regular calls or use the software. When I pick up the phone, Skype pops up. Really neat. I haven't received a call on it yet so don't know how that will work. But I mostly use it to call out anyway.
The really "great" news is that when I made a call to a regular phone, the sound was above par --- better than a regular call. Unlike another reviewer, I found the quality of the call far superior to a cell phone and equal to or better than a regular land line call. Whether that was due to my Internet connection or PC or phone, I don't know. I do know I tried two phones before I used this one. The first phone didn't give good quality. So it could be you'll need to try a couple phones. This one I'm using is just a cheap old regular phone.
I highly recommend this adapter to anyone who uses Skype or any VOIP that it will work with.
I bought the phone from Cable4Less and I recommend you do the same. Their prices are the best and I can tell you from experience their help is above average and "very" fast. Customer support is an area I really rate on and if it's bad, I'll tell the world. There's no excuse for bad customer support. But if you buy from Cable4Less, you'll be happy. They'll do right by you. (I have no financial interest in Cable4Less.)
I highly recommend this product.
Update: I've not been able to get the adapter to work with both Skype and the Land Line as advertised. As a Skype phone only, it's perfect. But, at least in my case using a standard, basic telephone (not cordless) the landline won't work along with Skype. It may be my unit is defective. But that's my experience thus far.
Update: I switched phones to try and get the adapter to work on both the land line and Skype. Instead of using my trusty SW Bell desk phone, I used the quarter phone and hooked both up to it. And, it works fine.
So my conclusion is that the adapter is somewhat particular in the telephone you use. That said, I'm looking forward to really enjoying this. By the way, it's easy to tell which line you're on. |
Works awesome!

| Plugged this into my USB along with my GE 2.4ghz cordless phone for use in Skype and works awesome! I no longer have a landline, just my cell but wanted to ease the burden of my minutes usage. Even though Skype doesnt assign you your own number you can still outdial anywhere for $35 yr. Using this thingy in my puter and Skpye AND SkypeMate (free d/l from the net) you can use your home line to dial out anywhere. Although you MUST set speed dails to be able to call out without being at the computer (the phone/Skype wont let you dail normally like your used to, you have to either use the computer to dial or use speed-dial codes via the phone). But clarity is great (just so long as im not cloggin my bandwidth in downloads when im calling). |
Excellent product,

| Instructions were easy to follow which made the installation process very easy as well. Audio of skype communications was improved after installing the adapter. A public phone line is not required. I have attached a cordless phone to the Eforcity Phone USB Adapter and now it is like having a regular phone line at home. Eforcity's delivery time was excellent. 100% satisfied with this item and with this vendor. |
Works fine

| This is a USB modem that accepts a phone line input and has a phone line output and a USB port. I use it with no phone line and Skype. It comes with SkypeMate software. I'm not sure who wrote/provides the software but maybe Skype because when you choose 'About' on the program's menu it takes you to the Skype website. The device installs on Windows XP upon plugging it in. Then you install SkypeMate software. It updated on install. You plug in the phone and get a dial tone. When you pick up the phone you can see Skype go active. Hang up the phone and Skype goes back to the tray. This program thus takes over and controls Skype via your phone, but you can still use Skype from the computer if you choose. In operation it works fine. To dial a number in the US, you dial 001+area code+number+#. Then you hear the skype dial out music tones and the phone starts ringing. Likewise, if you have a Skype-In number, when someone calls it you see Skype go active and the phone you have plugged into the modem rings. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It's not the same quality as a regular phone but is probably equal to the quality of most cellular phones. You get a glitch now and then, but hanging up just resets. Also I've had some difficulty at times with DTMF detection on the other end, and also with speech recognition systems. But again, overall I'm pretty happy with it. |
ATTENTION ALL SKYPE FANS !!

This is a great product ! Easy setup, small enough to be portable but not tiny.
Much improved sound quality which is great, and you can hook up any phone to this adapter- cordless or corded phone.
This is my 4th attempt to buy the right product to maximize Skype's system. I have a great computer, but the sound card isn't great, and this helps a lot
Also, good transaction with this seller ! |
