Which is the Best Skype Phone?

The best performing Skype phones are dual mode phones such as the a GE Skype phone. It's capable of making both regular landline phone calls and Skype phone calls. It's a DECT 6.0 phone, which accounts for the phone's excellent range and freedom from interference. The downside of all two in one phones is that they're pricey and not intended as traveling phones.

Currently the best Skype phone is the Philips Skype phone. It's priced right, looks good and delivers excellent sound quality. If you don't mind being tethered, Philips also make an excellent USB Skype phone at a competitive price.

The Netgear Skype phone is yet another alternative. It's a travel phone and ideal for use in WiFi hot spots, but the Philips wireless phone has the edge in terms of sound quality and price. Otherwise they're comparable: battery life, sturdiness and performance.

Panasonic makes some of the best cordless phones and the Panasonic Skype phone is no exception, but the Panasonic Wi-fi Phone for Skype is too pricey for many of us who use the Skype phone service primarily because it's the cheapest phone service.
