Best Skype Telephones

Of all the different Skype telephones it's the dual mode models that are most popular. They can be used to make regular phone calls or Skype phone calls. Skype software is pre-loaded into the phone so it's possible to Skype even without a PC, as long as there is access to a broadband connection.

The Skype phone that consistently gets the best reviews is the Netgear SPH 200D. It is a dual mode cordless phone that can connect up to 4 x SPH 150D cordless handsets. In doing this the SPH 200D uses the DECT 6.0 cordless phone frequency, which accounts for its impressive clarity and range.

DECT 6.0 operates at 1.9 GHz. Unlike the more commonly used 900 MHz and 2.4GHz frequencies, it is free of interference from devices including: WiFi, baby monitors, microwave ovens and bluetooth. The low frequency also accounts for its impressive range. These issues are critical to a cordless phone comparison, irrespective of whether conventional or Skype phones are being assessed.

The Netgear SPH 200D does not compete with the Skype wireless phone or the Belkin WiFi phone. It's not intended for use by road warriors at hotels, airports and hotspots. It competes directly with the Uniden and Panasonic cordless telephones, with the advantage that it is also a Skype phone.

Up to 10,000 calling minutes to landlines for one low monthly fee - the new Skype calling subscriptions.
