Does this use USB plug to your PC so I can start to dial in and recieve calls with my VOIP account?

No. It plugs to the swith or hub. Unless you use a doble net card. Not common at all.

No. My phone utilizes VOIP. When a 2nd call comes in there is a brief interruption in the connection.

Im not sure if there is a feature I am not aware of, but the DualPhone 4088 does not need/use a computer or operating system. It just needs a Ethernet connection. If you have a skype subscription (or free account) you just log into your account through the keypad on the Dualphone 4088.

It works by plugging this into a power outlet, and plugging the phone jack cord into the wall. If your VOIP uses a phone jack cord, then it would likely work.

Yes you can connect this to the usb port and use it to skype. Mine works very well

Yes. You can receive calls. You can also make calls, but only manually, the headset is unable to activate your phone's voice dialing capability.

I use VoIP through Ooma and it calls out through my home line just fine. I would think Ooma and Vonage are similar.

If by "regular phone" you mean plugging it into an analog phone line, then no, that is not supported. If you mean making phone calls and having a phone number, that is possible with a SIP service (callcentric, voipvoip, fring, 8x8 or any of a zillion other SIP providers) and an Internet connection. Of course, is it also possible to use Skype, with added paid services, to make and receive regular phone calls.

No Henry, it doesn't have a USB but I transfer the audio by an ear phone cord on both ends and go from the recorders ear phone jack to the computers microphone jack with the double ended cord and my various recording apps will make a decent copy of what's on the recorder that I save as a WAV.

yes it does. Nothing to rave about though. It works fine with skype for me.

Skype is set by default to show over everything else on the screen when it rings, so yes it's possible to answer the phone, by clicking the appropriate button. If you prefer speakers when not on the phone you must then plug the phone in: hectic, but it's worth it not having to yell at the computer in order to carry on a phone conversation. The changes in Skype warned about by Patrick E. allow you to use the USB phone still, but you can't dial anything on it, you must use skype's somewhat awkward dialpad to do this after Dec. 2013 - this a rather nasty-nerdy-dictatorial move, it seems to me - One way to get around it would probably be to use an old version of Skype.exe, many of which are available on the internet, or you can just not update if you have Skype already. Save a copy of a current or older Skype.exe file somewhere and you'll probably be able to dial indefinitely. Just don't update.

No. This accepts phone connectors only, it separates the Internet signal from the voice/ fax signal.I hope this helps.

No, it is just a headset made to plug into a handset port or auxiliary port on a telephone. Another poster said "You need to add a DA-40 to connect to a computer. It works great. My company has about 50 set-up this way." Plantronics HEADSET TO USB ADAPTER ( DA40 ). I am sorry but I have no experience with that.

In my case with Windows 7 I just plugged it in and it worked. I can now use my cell phone earpiece for Skype calls from my desktop computer.
