Does it work both ways ? I mean can I make & 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.

Yes, I have one and I have a skype number so I can receive call from landline, skype, and from landline to my skypenumber.
262585
yes, as long as you are connected to your Router and to Iternet.This Devise is very Compatible to SKYPE Software as long as you have Skype-To-Go NUMBER, YES,You can Received and make Phone Calls To Landlines.

Yes, but you will need a digital, vs an analog, type phone plugged into it. You will then be able to make and receive both Skype and landline calls. Do it every day. Also, it will show whether it is a Skype call or a landline call. ColGilly

Thanks!I was concerned about the 400 box being compatable with an analog line.I have an analog switch to rout calls.I have a ADSL modem connected to the line before the switch to connect to the Internet.I am assuming that the incoming and outgoing skype calls would be digitally routed directly to and from the 400 handset by the 400 box. Using the 400 handset to place PSTN calls is convenience if it works but of little interest. I have a wireless network. I am thinking that a skype phone like the Netgear SPH200W WiFi Phone with Skype or similar might be a better solution. However, from what I have seen on the net they are not very mature.Any suggestions?

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.

Your question has to be dissected to answer properly. VoIP is a connection type. If you are referring to a softphone (meaning no physical handset much like Skype, Google Hangout, etc.) then yes, it works great with a softphone application as well as with a physical land-land (i.e. there is a phone cord to connect to the headset).

Yeah it does support skype, i have using it many time, it works fine for me.

Yes it can. you can do that from your computer. the same contacts that you have on your computer's skype software will be in the phone too. So you just press the "contacts" button on the phone and it shows all your skype contacts on the phone. I have had this for a couple of months and it works great.

If I actually could get 2 handsets, is it possible to run a different skype account on each or do they have to use the same skype account?

Yes. I use both MagicJack and Nettalk (VoIP's) with no problem. Have no land line. Connect a phone line first to the unit, then from the unit's ext. phone slot to your phone. Set up the '340 priority mode as to Telephone, Fax, Both, etc.

Actually both ways have worked in my experience. You can dial using the phone like the good ole days or you can dial on the computer keyboard and pick up the phone after you have dialed.

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

Hi J.R. I do not own this phone. But I am about to buy one (or two) and have read the whole manual already, and I know a lot about Skype, and I think I can answer your questions: 1 - In order to have voicemail on your non-Skype line, you have to subscribe to voicemail with your landline phone company. The device does not do voicemail. But if you do subscribe to voicemail with your landline phone company, then the device will show if you have voicemail waiting for you. 2 - Yes, you can retrieve voicemail from your landline voicemail account. 3 - The only way for a non-Skype landline to call your "Skype number" is for you to have a SkypeIn phone number. You pay Skype to have a SkypeIn phone number. If a caller in your Caller List (already entered into your Caller List) calls you, then yes, you get caller ID and you can see who is calling. But if a stranger calls you who is not in your Skype caller list, you will not see caller ID. I hope this helped you. I am pretty sure my answers are 100% correct.

No you don't have to both. I don't have a land line, just a cellphone and this phone is working great for me. Note: I have found that I have to cycle my cellphone on and off about once a week so that they stay connected. But this maybe because the signal strength in my house can be weak sometimes. Also, if you are using a cellphone only, make sure that hit the "Cellphone" button when you make a call. If you use the "Home" button it won't work.

This is the Wifi version, you can't make calls if you mean by that phone calls.But if you mean Skype and others by 'making a call' then yes you can.

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

I use a separate wireless phone just for skype. I found one at Walmart for $5.00. I plugged in to FreeTalk, then FreeTalk into my router and started making calls. Once Skype recognized FreeTalk, then my cheap phone, it works just like a regular land line. I haven't had any problems using FreeTalk with a separate cheap wireless phone. I never tried using FreeTalk with just 1 land line phone.

Yes and yes. 1. You can make just voice VOIP calls with Skype and just Logitech's microphone and your existing speakers. It is a free call worldwide from computer to computer. It is an inexpensive call to a "regular" phone if you have purchased Skype Out. 2. Yes you can turn the video off or replace it with a still JPG file of your choice instead of showing live output. I often use "wallpaper" instead of the camera image. Magnified velcro (my current favorite background) is more aesthetically appealing than my face!

To be honest im not sure if skype would work. Based on the way its OS works and the limited access to popular apps, i would guess no. And even if u could download it, i dont think it would be practical or even functional.
