Skype + landline = DUALPhone

By My status Jane Hoskyn on August 22, 2006 in Skype gadgets.

Another day, another dishy cordless Skype phone. The big selling point of the Cordless DUALPhone from Linksys is that it works with a standard landline as well as with Skype... though why you'd want to use a standard landline when you can use Skype instead, I don't know. Answers on a cyber postcard.

The phone is very easy to use. Plug the base station into your computer's USB port, log onto Skype, and you're free to make and receive Skype calls using the handset. Your Skype contacts list shows up on the phone's colour LCD, so just select who you want to talk to and call them using Skype or SkypeOut. The phone also supports SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail.

The base station can be used with up to four handsets, which is handy if every member of the family wants a Skype phone in their room - or if you need an intercom to keep an ear on a baby sleeping upstairs. Or not sleeping, as the case may be.

The DUALPhone is available now with a price tag of £66, though it's currently on special offer from Skype's online store for £47. Get in there!
