220v skype home phone?

I currently live in Europe and just ordered the 31591GE1 phone for my house. There was mixed data on if the voltage transformer/adaptor would operate on 220V. Now that I have received it, I can clearly read it is 110v only. Is there a Skype cordless home phone that is 220v ready and is comperable to the 31591GE1?

Using home phone for Skype

can I use a home phone(landline) to make and recieve calls from mobiles or landlines? I do not want to use the computer all the time to make calls. I want my daughter to be able to call friends and family with a basic home phone.
Thank you

Here is a different but excellent solution. My internet router contains a built-in facility that allows it to 'log in' to any internet phone number (not just Skype), and calls ring on a standard DECT cordless handset (or a wired telephone). Does same for outgoing calls as well. It's very versatile.
Skype will rent you an internet phone number (but not cheap) but I suggest using a service from http://www.localphone.com/?rb=sN5bXhfv1nxSJQl6oRD9K30iNkAOCq6vKbL9cuLDf_E . Their internet phone numbers are free; dialing to any country is cheap; and you can rent a dial-in number in many countries for about $1 per month. Forwarding to the internet phone number is free, as is the router picking up the call. As the people whoi call me have free calls to my number, the only cost is the $1 monthly line rental. EXCELLENT!
My router is a German-made Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390, but many of their other models have similar functionality (7490, 7360, 7330, 7272 - look for logos for 'DECT' and 'Telefonie' at http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/ . You can order from Amazon (DE, CO.UK or COM at least)

Is my skype phone number the same and my home phon...

i do not know how to receive calls to me. Do I have a Skype number other than my home phone?

I was trying to call to my skype number and now I discovered its disappeared from my profile, without notice, contact or warning.

Skype enabled home phone

Hi, I have a skype enabled home phone. I would like to use this phone for a emergency calls and for my husband to call when he can't reach me on my cell phone. Do I need an online number for this? I am not really sure how to use it. It was a gift. We have not had a home phone line to avoid having to pay a monthly bill so please let me know if there is a cost to this.
Thank you for your help!

As far as I know, Skype-compatible hardware devices tend to remain online. The only time they aren't:
1. There is a setting in that device that forces it to another state.
2. You change the state in another Skype client either manually or automatically (when idle) and that updates the online status of your account. This then toggles your online state for the hardware device as well. So if your Skype client is toggled to Away, that may be causing the issue.
I personally leave myself in online at all times. I have nothing set to change any of my states and my hardware device is always online. I generally receive all my calls.

Skype ready home phone

what is a skype ready phone?

That sounds like marketing lingo to mean that the device in question has the ability to sign into the Skype service. An RTX 4088 is an example of a Skype ready home phone.

Well known scam called my home phone from a Skype ...

Hi,
Recently I have been contacted 2 or 3 times a day at my home phone number from 'Computer Maintenance Department' or 'Windows Department', claiming my computer was sending them error messages. The latest phonecall came from Skype number 001 956 460 5604.
This is a well known scam where the perpetrators aim to convince their victims that their computer has a virus and then persuade them to allow remote access in order to 'fix' the problem.
As this came from a Skype number, how do I go about reporting this?

Let me add to my earlier response. DO not even attempt to discuss this matter with comcast or their techs. They simply are unaware of the problem and can do nothing to fix it. Call Neustar at the number I gave you in ealrier post.. Tell them the problem and either have them delete your cellphone number from their data base or set the caller id to show city, state and your number. Deletion is probably better. Tech at Neustar did this told it would take effect in two hours and the problem was gone in 5 minutes. I am sick and tired of disconnects, talking to techs at comcast who barely can speak english, mumble, one told me today to go to the website and disable call blocking from my cell then call home and then reenable it after making the call. LMAO! Yeah, while driving down the road. This afternoon I got a call from a rather arrogant tech who didn;t want to hear the problem, didn;t undertand the problem and tried to blame the problem on my cell service. No problem when I call anyone outside of Comcast and it was corected once before . So the problem is with your cell phone number listing at Neustar. Since Comcast uses Neustar for their caller id numbers they should be be able to delete or correct entires but apparently cannot. Good Luck, my days with comcast are limited.

"Skype Home Unavailable"

I've got this problem for more than a year
every time i enter skype this is what i see
"Skype Home Unavailable
Skype home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
its easy to start a conversation on skype:
-Choose a contact and start talking
-Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS"
i can call contacts, text them, change profile pictures and do what ever i want
the only problem is with Skype Home
doesnt work...
i got Windows XP
and the fact that i got this problem for more than a year shows you it has nothing to do with updating Skype
how can i fix this???

IE8 is the latest version for Windows XP.
Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.
What do you see now when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?

The FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Sky...

Hi all,
I am seriously considering dropping my landline since I mostly if not only uses my iPhone as my primary device for calls. The problem I have is an alarm system is connected to my land line and requires a way to call the alarm centre in case of an emergency.
I talk to my alarm service provider for an alternative. They already have the cellular option, but it adds $12/m which is not a big saving... They are working on finding an IP/Internet solution, but it will be also a $4/m.
I was wondering if I could use the FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Skype as a solution. From a computer I can call any 1-800 numbers for free, and I really suspect that the alarm centre is a toll free number too. So in theory it could work.
Can anyone share their experience with the device and suggest if my solution can work or not?
Thanks

I use that adapter in my house, it works just as a normal landline would. There is a slightly longer predial delay when initiating a call (approx 3 second Skype dialing noise), beyond that no real difference. If the box doesn't lock up, or your Internet doesn't go down it should be rather reliable as a replacement. Those are worst-case scenarios and I generally don't find myself having to do anything to maintain it. In any case I have it connected to a power surge strip like I do the rest of my equipment. Should I need to reset it, I just toggle the switch.

Skype Home Unavailable for weeks - what can i do?

Hello,
Please could you help? Since updating my skype on my Windows 7 laptop, i've been unable to make / receive video calls on my laptop (i do not have a smart phone or a tablet). The message i have on my home page is "Skype Home Unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts." I have Windows 7 & 64 bit version, Service Pack 1. I have tried your troubleshooting help on your support page and disabled the compatibility mode as advised and i have rebooted my laptp to no avail. Your help pages extensively cover problems with Windows XP (a downgraded version of mine) or Windows 8 however not much is mentioned about windows 7. My daughter in Australia has been trying to call me and i would really like to see on a call with skype.
Any help would be grately appreciated,
Many thanks
Allen

Your connection status on Skype is Offline. When Online, the status icon next to your name must be solid green with a white checkmark inside. Try to change the status using the dropdown arrow next to this icon.

Does: home phone adapter + online number = ability...

i have not found any information that says specifically that non-skype callers can call you via a home phone adapter or a Skype-ready cordless phone. I know you can call out, but what about receiving calls? Anyone here have a skype-ready cordless phone?

I'm also considering buying phone adapter. And to get a phone # attached to it to be able to receive any regular call on the phone (not on the computer) - do I just get an online number - is there any other option?
I did not find any related info in FAQs, etc.

Need a good Skype WiFi phone that dosen't use comp...

I notice most of them are expensive. I was looking on ebay for some cheap wifi cell phones (non name brand most likely from china). Is it possible to get one of these phones, install skype app and use skype from there without cell phone service???

I would recommend trying a Freetalk Connect Me or Soundwin SP110. I currently use the Freetalk in combination with a normal Panasonic DECT 6 phone system with multiple handsets in multiple story homes and it works rather good in my opinion. I've gone wired and used wireless bridges to connect the base station/connect me to the Internet. The other handsets only require power. The longevity of the Connect Me unit is the main problem as I've had to purchase a few in the last few years. I've found their support to be rather useless as well so it may be difficult to get a warranty replacement. They've ignored my requests on issues dealing with bad firmware updates, which is probably the majority of failure on the units. They provide no way of flashing the units locally, whereas the SP110 does. On average they last about 1-2yrs before completely dying (device gets caught in a reset loop). When compared to the dual phones pricewise the replacement cost is more affordable.

Soundwin no longer has the SP110 listed on their site but you may be able to find one.

Skype Home Not Available

Hello, all!
So, for a while I'd log onto skype and get the message:
Skype - No Connection
Skype Home unavailableSkype Home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
It's easy to start a conversation on Skype:
Choose a contact and start talking
Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS.
Now, at first I thought it might be that I wasn't signed into skype, but I checked and ensured that I was in fact registered as online, able to send/receive messages but not able to view skype home. Then when I heard about the new update, I uninstalled my current version and installed Skype 6.12.
Same issue- able to send/receive messages, but no skype home.
I'm running Windows Vista, 64-bit operating system. Internet explorer may be my issue, as it doesn't actually seem to work at all beyond google, but I don't know how to fix that problem at all.
Help?

The issue is with your Internet Explorer. Skype Home page is created using IE and this link:
https://apps.skype.com/home/
What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.

Skype home page

Hi There
When I try to sign in to Skype I get the message that Skype home page isn't available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Skype twice now but still see the same messaage. This has been going on for a week. At the bottom right-hand corner of my computer there is a grey icon with arrows spinning. I have windows xp and internet explorer 8. Can you help me reconnect to Skype? Thanks

I have the same problems regarding using Skype to call internationally to Lima Peru using a windows 7 desktop with the latest version of skype.
I have been receiving this notice "skype home not available" check later" . I have tried to
remove the program and then download it again . I am using the latest version of Skype but to no avail. I have credit in the account and I want to use the service and I should be able to use it like before it was purchased by Microsoft. With the modifications done lately a lot of the previous options have been deleted. For example there is no option to dial the number by yourself (soft phone) among other previous options that have been deleted without any reason.
If the number is mistaken there is no option to EDIT the contact either.
Skype was simple ,fun to use, Not anymore.
If the moderator is reading this thread please do something about it.

I want my land line, home phone as my caller ID, h...

This is 2012. I'm out of work and money. I only have a home phone with local service only. I have to use Skype for my 1 or 2 long distance calls per month. I'd like my home phone to be my caller ID. I can't receive txt messages that way, but I'd at least have a return number for those to see who it is. Everyone on the internet from google, youtube and "you name it", wants a cell phone number and I can't even afford anything, whether it's a cell phone or an "unused" extra number for a fee. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have businesses hang up on me because they think they are being pranked because of what they see on their screens when I call. In Los Angeles, two miles from my house can be a long distance call. Please Help those of us that are sincerely poor!!!! It would only take you 2 seconds longer to call my house for me to verify my land line. I would even be happy if you only did it for me. Please quit being so greedy and realize some of us are at "Rock bottom". In other words, no matter what, I'm not paying for anything else. Even though I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, not one more penny is being spent on anything. I have none. I already possess a return number and I'd like to use that one.

I have the same question for a different reason. Your text implies that we can use our land line numbers for Caller ID but the implementation doesn't allow it. Why not? i have a cell phone but don't want most people knowing or using it because it's rarely on and each call is separately charged. I want any callbacks to be on my land line. How do I make Caller ID show my land line number?

Skype home page on MAC

My Skype home page does not show "Contacts", "Recent", "Call Phones" and "Profile". How do I change it to have it?
This is how I expect it to look like.

Mine is just showing me pictures at the top and the rest of the blue screen just says "Bring your facebook friends so Skype"

Dialing a cell phone requires either a calling plan or Skype credit. Once you've done that, tap the stylized dial pad icon. Then enter the full telephone number you wish to call. That number must begin with the country code of the phone you're calling. In the U.S., for example, the number will begin with +1 (1 is the code for the U.S.)
