When making outbound calls with this device, how do you specify whether you want to use the Skype line or the landline from a DECT cordless phone?

Hi Sr.Milind, DIAL # before a number to make your call using your landline. DIAL ** before a number to make your call using Skype. See all instructions in config web page. More answer? I help u!

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.

Dial # and the phone number to force the Freetalk device to use your land line. Without the # prefix it will dial out via Skype.

There are two models of that phone. One with Bluetooth one without. The one with Bluetooth will still work even if you get rid of your land line. Make sure your phone has Bluetooth. Make sure the dect has the Bluetooth on. Once you pair them you can leave your cell in a spot that gets good reception And the dect will ring when u get a call

That part of the first review is not correct. The phone line only has to be near the dialer. Once you connect the phone line and power line to the dialer, the battery operated sensers communicate wirelessly with the dialer. But you must have a landline. And the batteries on all devices need to be changed every so often.

Yes, you connect base station of your cordless to this adapter, and then you can use your cordless phone directly to call skype line. It is advised to keep a landline also connected to the adapter so you can call regular PSTN lines.

If you set the setting on the skype app to tell it to. go to Skype/settings/skype options. There you set the app to be on and notify you when someone is calling you

This phone works like any other land-line home telephone. Your access remotely from another phone is through your telecommunications service provider. If you can access remotely now you should be able to with any other land-line telephone your purchase.

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default. Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

It cannot be connected to a landline telephone. You must use the SIM card as far as we were able to figure out from customer service.

You must have a "land line" to connect this phone.It uses blutooth to connect the AT&T; TL92271 DECT with your cell phone.

It can be used to replace a landline if you subscribe to a service that allows calls to other landlines or cell phones. One connects the device to a router and a phone to it. One configures a service through the Web browser and makes calls like a regular phone. There are lots of SIP providers that are compatible with this device.

Hi! You can hook up the BASE of this phone to a regular land line (with normal telephone jack), and then the VOIP841 handset can be used to make normal landline calls. You can switch between land line and Skype Internet calling.If you are asking if you can use another cordless phone with this product instead of the supplied cordless phone, the answer is NO.If you are already subscribing to caller ID on your landline service, then YES this phone will show you the caller ID. But not if you are not subscribing to caller ID.

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?

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.

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
