Skype phone "system is restarting" issue: Is there a way to fix this issue?
426190
I figured out how to fix the problem here. We had the base station plugged into a switch off the router so I contacted Philips support and they suggested unplugging everything and then trying to connect to our modem directly. Well, our modem is not a long term solution so we compromised and tried plugging the base station directly into our router. Problem solved! We've now been online with the phone for three days and it works great! Hope this helps!

Try going to audio settings in Skype and setting your headphones as the default audio playback device for Skype calls.

I used the Skype application available for free for this phone. I used it only once and it was ok. The sound quality was very good, but the other side (which is Europe, I was calling from the US) complained that my video was slightly blurry. I cannot tell if it was because of the camera or because of the poor connection. I will let you know if I try again and have a better result.

Yes, mine is still working after over a year. It has locked up maybe 2 or 3 times and just had to reboot (unplug power). Still shows Caller ID and our phone even states the name associated with the Skype account for the person calling or the phone number.

Your main unit has a telephone wire that connects to the landline. If it becomes unplugged (for example, by accident), you will get this message. Simply plug it back in and all phones will work again.

I have occasionally had this issue, it actually started very recently. I rebooted my phone and it worked fine. Just like my laptop! Hope this helps.

Smartphones usually have issues bcos of background tasks running behind d standby mode. If u use only one task at a time there are rarely any issues. Please note this phone is windows based phone & windows is office tool. All others additions to it like camera & others work fantastic on this phone. If ever d phone gets hanged up do soft reset by keeping d volume down button & power button simultaneously pressed together. Phone will switch off & reset again. Note that wen u do that u have to set the time & date again. Hope this was helpful..

I have used Skype both on Windos 8 and Linux without any probelm, so it might be an issue with your sound card. Have you tried re-installing the software or Skype?

adding a little more detail. once you confirm the phone is connected to the internet as noted in the prior answer, you go to MENU, then Scroll right to Skype Status. (using the round middle button below the screen that has four arrows). Once there, scroll down and you will see a selection to log into Skype. You will need to use the number keypad for alpha characters as well. that's a bit of a pain, but you should only log in once and remain logged in until you either power down the unit or you lose internet all together. You can also email the manufacturer, they've been very helpful in the past when I ran into questions. adding a little more detail. once you confirm the phone is connected to the internet as noted in the prior answer, you go to MENU, then Scroll right to Skype Status.

Yes, but to be honest, I've had a lot less trouble with my Skype program since I STOPPED using the phone and just use the computer's speaker's. A computer tech told me to lose the phone. He was right. It's just one more step between good call quality and YOU. The only draw back is that all calls become speaker phone calls. I don't prefer that but the call quality is considerably better on a consistent basis.

Sorry, I just saw this message.Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

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

Not that I am aware of, though mine seems to have a problem with the sound card because I cannot Skype on it. I have been asked to take it to the service centre to get that fixed. Perhaps when that's done, I might find it has voice recognition, but I doubt.

It may not be compatible with Skype. And don't worry mine doesn't work either
