The phone by it self has a number of Bugs and problems that you will prabobly run into but as far as SKYPE service goes at this point in time it is nearly perfect. I've been using SKYPE unlimited for about 6 months now (I actualy got ride of my regular home phone and just been using SKYPE). The voce quality is supperb when making SKYPE OUT calls and I never had any problems with this service. You pay a single fee up start (no contracts of any kind) and you can make unlimited calls in US and Canada with no connection fees, perminute fees or any other fees for that matter. It is trully great thing. I hope this helps a bit. Good Luck.

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

I had no problem with using FreeTalk with Win7. But you should understand that FreeTalk is mainly just freestanding dhardware that interacts directly with Skype. When I got it, their software basically just provided a method to pay Skype. Later, the software stopped working. But that didn't really matter because I could still pay Skype directly. And the product continues to do exactly what I wanted it to do.

I don't use Skype, so I don't know, but I'd go to manage apps and click on Skype and hit clear data then try it again It should work

My understanding is that for International call, there is an additional fee, but yes, you can. I have had nothing but poor customer service with the company and problems with the Duo unit. I have been without service for almost 1 month. I was promised that a replacement unit would be sent last Friday and here it is Tuesday and no unit. They ignore e-mails, phone calls take around 1 1/2 ~ 2 hours to connect to a person who then cannot help with most issues. Then you wait for a Tech. That takes some doing as well. I have written to the CEO, but I never received a response. Spend a little more with another voIP service. NetTalk is a joke.Be well.

Hi Shobhit, I'm using it with Skype regularly for almost one year, actually, Skype is inside Freetalk through CONNECT ME, at least my Freetalk is that way. Best Regards. Gilberto.

you are right but there is a market disconnect here. with a wireless carrier, the price of the phone is dwarfed by the annual expense of subscribing to the service. as the other posters indicated, this is not the case with skype. the whole point of using skype is its low cost.i would love to have one of these but the morons at netgear priced it incorrectly.

We purchased Freetalk 1200 about a month and a half ago. There was never a problem connecting it to Skype with Windows 7 Pro. At first it didn't work very well but other posters said for the firmware updates. After a couple of days, we were updated to 1.0.9.0 Firmware. So far, we are 100% satisfied with the product. It is our home phone. When we purchased it, we were concerned because it was discontinued and there wasn't a replacement. Now they have introduced the new 1220 model I feel even better now because I have works fine and they are still in the business.

I have never configured my Gigaset to work with Skype. It looks like there is a way to get some kind of SIP credentials from Skype but I am not sure how you tackle the incoming and outgoing call issue.. Skype has a number of phones that are SKYPE ready- http://shop.skype.com/phones/#/categoryid=2&sortby;=3&subcategoryid;=&filter;=&manufa;cture=&price;_range=~75|75~150|150~225|225~&page;=2&mac;=0Myself and two other friends own Gigasets and use Viatalk for our providers. It's very inexpensive with the 2 yr plan and the quality is amazing

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.

I also want to add that nettalk is terrible, there support is non exsistant I was with out service for 7 months and I called -emailed - on line chats you name it they never responded. I strongly recommend you stay away from Nettalk there a huge ripoff. and if you check them out at face book the people that give them a favorable rating actually work there. I have had Magic jack and I did upgrade to the 2014 and you just plug it into your router or computer and it works fine. and the online chat help is always there

Your phone will ring with either incoming land or Skype calls. You can choose how to make outgoing calls in the setup. Be advised that, in my case at least, I lost call display on my incoming land line calls using this device. Support claimed it should work in my area (Canada using Bell as a provider). It didn't. They even replaced the unit but no luck.

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.
