Use this product is an effective way to use Skype convinently and integate with landline phones.Pros:1. Do not use windows assigned drivers. Require a connected computer to be on 24/7.3. Integrate with landline usage (directly dialing with landline and use pre and post-fix to dial with Skype).3. It may have messed up my landline once (lost dial tone), but unplugging the unit for a while solved the problem. If hooked up with a multihand set cordless phone system, can provide service to the whole house (some said DECT phone may not work for this purpose).Cons:1. Simply said, it works.2. Occasionally it needed to be unplugged and plugged in to hook up with Skype program.2.
Installation is a bit tricky. Follow the instruction outlined by other reviewers. Sound quality is acceptable but a bar lower than the landline.4. This hasn't happened very often.Since I do not have a Skype in number, I haven't use to receive call.
D-Link Skype USB phone adapter software and hardware did not work. I struggled for several hours and then read deeper into other people's hardships regarding their software. Lucky for me I also purchased the significantly cheaper USB Telbox from Amazon which is working just fine with my portable Panasonic phone system using Skypemate software(a free download). Wake up D-Link and pay attention to the public - There are over 400 million Skype users out there.
Easy to operate. Sometimes it disconect from skype but can be skype and not this.
A complete disaster of a product. It is no wonder many of the major online merchants do not stock it anymore ( i think it will soon be a discontinued product). No current support from DLink for this product and installation on XP SP3 was a nightmare. It does not work. I wasted my money on it. I am researching the similar ZOOM voip adaptor to replace the piece of useless plastic i just bought.
This device does not work with 64-bit computers and D-Link has no plan to create a 64-bit driver.
