You may search for skype pc-free phones for such devices. Google shopping gives many results. One good site with various products is - http://www.amperordirect.com/c/c-pcless/index.html

Yes, look for standalone Skype phones like the Belkin Skype Desktop Phone available here on Amazon. It does not require a PC and connects directly to your broadband router instead.

No there isnt. If you are on a coffee table your Skype partner can hardly see your face. It was a good idea then, I wouldnt buy today. Nice ultrabook with unresolved wifi problem.

Jason I have been using this unit for a long time and to be honest I have skype on my Kindle fire HDX and on my computer and usually I use the computer to send out a contact request. It always works. It is possible that the signal is not strong enough for your router to complete the request. I am not sure.

Yes. I currently use it on my laptop primarily for Skype as well. Works great so far.

Internet. You will need a seperate voip adapter to plug into this or your router that plugs into this, and a voip adapter plugs into the router. This device is strictly a modem for internet. If you don't know what a voip adapter is, it's what gives you telephone service.

It is just a separate Ethernet device on the network. It is actually behind a UVerse router on my own network, but it should work behind any Ethernet router. Note that it has nothing to do with the telephone ports on a UVerse router - it is a separate device. You would use the telephone (VoIP) ports on the PAP2.

This phone plugs into the jack in your house. I actually have mine plugged into a similar jack on my printer/fax machine. The phone I use for Skype is a Polycom CX200.

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.

It has this option, but I have not tried it myself. On my previous phones, the "skype feature" works, it is just very small. I would use a computer vs. a phone.

No, this device does not support telephony. It provides access to cable Internet service.

Thanks Mike, will have to wait for an official details from Netgear website, on the Netgear website only shows:What about security? Skype uses secure and encrypted communication so nobody's able to listen in. The NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone is designed to deploy Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) for WiFi security.What wireless standard is used? The wireless mobile phone is WiFi compatible 802.11g, and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

I am using it on a laptop using Win7 64bit. Like I said it will run on older versions of Skype (which should install (revert) when you set it up. Not all functionality is available but it has been good enough for me. Also when I have both phones plugged in (the router version as well) then I can answer a second call with the other phone without hanging up on first one. Pretty cool for me.

6:30 pm 18Jan15Hi! there, JamesYes, this Grandstream is compatible with a Skype account set up. The process is very similar to using a PC/Laptop. The respective skype addresses are entered into the phone either manually or configured to 'auto-connect'. BTW. I have an extra unit still in the box that was purchased as a backup. I'll let it go for a fair amount. Take care. Kind Regards, Richard

you could use different accounts but then you would need to have both base stations connected to your router... if you use just one base station you can link the phones but it needs the same skype account
