Title: Skype Phones
Post by: tunnie on 12 December 2008, 18:27:47

Anyone got a home wireless setup?

Our cordless handsets are dieing and need replacing.

Looking for a Skype setup..

1) Must be cordless handset
2) Base unit needs to be wireless, ones that need a physical router connection are no good, needs to be WiFi

Anyone got one, whats it like?

Trouble with skype is its a difficult (and immature, even now) protocol, so hardware based solutions are not that common.

Things like BT Home Hub has its voip built in, but is expensive to use (compare to cheap voip solutions)
