Does it work both ways ? I mean can I make &amp; receive calls from Skype to the Landline ?

Correct. Upon installation when someone calls your Skype number (must acquire one) it will ring both at your land phone connected to this device as well as in the computer or cell phone that is logged in with your skype account. And you can make phone calls to land lines from either your skyoe account in your pc, your cell, tablet or the phone connected to this device. I loved it.

When you said yes. You mean you can call through Skype using this phone just like the way PC/laptop works?

I just received this item, and the manual says it can do skype-to-skype calls. However, I use it only for skypeout, so I have not tried this myself.

It works great with Skype. You can answer and hang up from the headset while using skype

Yeppers :o) I've not used it fully, but there's a mobile version of Skype and it certainly dials out properly!The downside is that some products seem to have flakey WiFi (mine does not - works great) and that may be the biggest problem.Bennett

It will not work with standard Skype. You would need the Skype Connect service to use the SIP features. I personally use it with another SIP service (CallCentric) that is inexpensive and gives me unlimited nationwide calling.

I have not had any direct experience but I would assume it is similar to pairing with a bluetooth mobile phone. I would read your owner manual for the landline phone to see what it says about pairing with a bluetooth device. Between the two instructions (phone and speaker), you should be able to get them together.

As far as I know, it can't be plugged directly into a landline phone. If the phone signal is being fed into an audio amplifier that has a microphone & headset JACKS, then you can plug the unit in those jacks. I use it with my desktop PC, equipped with a mike & headset ports. Try contacting Sennheiser Technical Support for advice.

Yes, it is very simple to set it for Skype, you do not need any additional hardware and it is very simple to download the software.

Yes, this is how your system is connected to the telephone system. Because of this, when you are using your landline to make a phone call, the machine will remind you that the machine cannot work while the line is busy.

Hi Walter. There's no need for you to install this unit on a computer. You just have to make sure that its base station is connected to an Ethernet port on your router in order to use Skype and to a telephone line port if you want to make landline calls.

you got to bluetooth of this phone and tell it whether or not you are on headset 1 or headset 2 and then it downloads your contact and sync to your cellphone..... And you can either make and receive calls from your cellphone.. And if you have it connected to a land line it will still work to call and receive calls that way too....

It works via bluetooth so unless your landline has bluetooth it will not work.

I have not used this product to call other skype accounts or received any calls on this skype phone. This skype phone is used primarily to call family and friends on landlines to a specific foreign country. I was not able to make calls to cellphones to that country.

Sorry, J.M. I have not heard of such a thing. All the Skype solutions I have read about are either just a handset you plug into your computer or are a full-blown computer replacement with handset like the VOIP841. They all have a handset. But I will suggest this.... You said you are "looking at switching to Skype". If you have not yet switched to Skype, I strongly recommend downloading Skype software for free to your computer and getting used to it that way before you get a standalone Skype device. There are a lot of strong features and icons and ways to do things that are unique to Skype, and using Skype on a computer will get you used to it. The Skype built into dedicated devices is a shorthand of the Skype icons and feature set, and it really helps to be Skype-savvy with the computer version before you go to a dedicated device. Just my opinion. For example, I have a SkypeIn number which rings in my Skype phone, and I only give out one number to everybody, instead of giving out a cell number, office number, home number. When I am at home I answer calls on my Skype phone. When I am away I answer calls on my cell phone to the same number, and all I do is change my Skype setting to "offline" in my Skype phone. Easy and great way to go. If you don't know about Skype, you don't know that you can change your setting to: Online, Skype Me, Offline, Away, Unavailable, Do Not Disturb, Invisible, and perhaps one or two others. When other people look me up in their Skype (computer or phone) they see my status set to one of these icons. Nothing like this is available with MagicJack or any other VOIP solution that I know of. So download Skype and get used to it first. ;-)

Thats correct. You can not use the device with a landline to make an outgoing call.
