Re: [Skype] Anyone here use the Skype handset phones? Update: If you're using the handset for a second line at home, you're fine and the international rates through Skype are compelling enough to give it a try...however...
The handset just didn't work overseas. I signed up for a trial with Boingo Mobile to try and get a connection through their hot spots with the phone and never got it to work, even once. I've tried it in the Detroit airport too and maybe I'm not giving it enough time to associate with the Boingo network, but no go. Fortunately I did have my MagicJack, which allowed me to make cheap calls to the US from abroad. I'm a bit disappointed with the whole Skype handset thing. |

| I don't mind the fact that I can't call sip phones since I never do anyway; the only outbound calls I make are to pstn phones.
The skype rates to call pstn phones are amazingly low.
If it were not for the fact that I have to buy a special phone (and use windows with it), I would be tempted to get skype. |
