Skype phone on Passport

Having a problem with making calls using Skype on my BB Passport. Able to call, connect, and hear the person I am calling but they are unable to hear me. Do I have to use an external microphone?

I had the same challenge and decided to use the Netgear Dual Line Skype Phone.
It is stand a lone and does not need any computer - connects directly to the router.
Works great for me - I have the base unit and 3 phones.

Looking for a skype phone that works via pc

I currently own the philips voip 321, great phone for the past couple of years, but a bit dated, basically im looking for a phone that has the same feature. I can use my computer to call somebody, and just pick up the phone and talk to them, or if somebody calls me the phone rings and i can enter pick it up using the phone or the pc.
Most of the new skype phones are just internet based without the need for computers, which is great, but i prefer the computer to phone routine, are there phones like this around?

Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate. That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

USB Skype Phone Adapter - How to use it?

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask regarding USB Skype Phone Adapter, as I am planning to buy it. But, before I buy it I would like to know if I can still use skype to call locally using the land phone line (since it's by contract, and local calls are all free). Can I use the skype keypad to make those calls? Can I have access to my land phone line through skpye to make local calls, even though I might use it from a different country through skype? Please help me with issue. Thank you very much in advance!

First of all, you seem to be using some custom classes as there is no table and no SimpleTableModel in Java ME.
That said,
The simpleTableModel is already attached to the tableSo when you assign the variable reference tableModel1 to a new object, it is the earlier referred object that is still 'attached' to the table, not the newly constructed one.
If you can head me to the right documentationThat would be available from wherever you got the classes.

Using USB Device through Parallels Desktop / CIT200 Skype Phone

Hi. I have the Linksys CIT200 cordless phone that I use with Skype. I am a recent convert from PC and this is my first mac. I have Parallels desktop installed and everything in that seems to work fine.
When I plugin the CIT200 base station, it does not give me the popup that says "Would you like to use this device in Windows XP....." Also, in System Profiler, I do not see the CIT200 device even recognized. It is getting power because it powers up...
How can I get my mac to recognize this USB device, and then give Windows control of it through Parallels?

No, not at all.
The application works just fine. I mean a wireless handset (basically, a telephone that connects to the computer via a USB docking station. Much like the one I linked to in the original post, although hopefully one that actually works with the OS 10.6.
Without the "skype phone" you have to physically sit down at your computer to make a skype call. With the handset, you can walk around the house while on a skype call. You can also both initiate and receive calls from the handset while not physically at your computer (so long as the skype application is running and you are within range, usually 100-300 feet).

Skype phone number with cordless phone

Has anyone used this? How is the quality and how much does it cost to make calls worldwide? I currently use Skype when I can (when the other party has Skype), but I have Vonage with my small business and I need to make international calls. I am trying to decide if it would be smart to switch to the Skype phone service. Any advice/help would be great. Thanks.

Skype accredited Skype phone supplier "Chat & Visi...

Chat & Vision is OK when everything goes right but when there is a problem beware as you can see from various other reviews.
We ordered a Skype phone and it was eventually delivered within an agreeable amount of time. not rapid, but fair enough. As we live way out in the countryside here in Spain we have problems with DHL as well as other companies delivering to us.To alleviate this problem we had an arrangement with a Spanish friend in a local village to accept deliveries for us. We ordered this phone with the belief as stated in their website "Worry free ordering all dues taxes and delivery charges included". 2 weeks after delivery our friend receives a demand from the Spanish Customs Authority that she appear before her local Tax authority due to unpaid duty on the goods that she received for us.Which involved a round trip of around 45kms. She was informed that the declared value by Chat & Vision was $12 and they insisted that they see the invoice from Chat and Vision which of course read €75. After another round trip of 45kms with the invoice she was then told she would be informed as to how much duty was to pay and also that there could possibly be a fine. We were of course keeping Chat & Vision informed of all of this ongoing problem.
Assurance from customer support that we would not suffer as a result of this as they would recompense when it was finally sorted. Well the Duty turned out to be € 15 and no fine, but as we were so embarrassed about the time and cost our friend had incurred we recompensed her for her time and fuel costs € 50 only to be told afterwards that she no longer wished to receive any more goods for us. So a €75 phone from Chat and vision has cost us €140 which we could have purchased from Amazon for €79 and know that we would have had much better service as we are still waiting for any recompense from Chat and Vision that was in May we are now in September and still waiting, for something that is obviously not going to happen.
Solved!

Hi rodymoyra,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. I am very disappointed in our handling of the case. I have taken the matter up internally with the relevant agents and departments involved to get the bigger picture on our process flaws and will rectify it if not already done. That includes a thorough review of the email correspondence with our support team which I believe was not up to our usual high standard. Whilst this ongoing, my support team will process a 50EUR refund to your paypal account within the next 24-72 hours. I will be in touch if I need any further info. I appreciate this does not make up the inconvenience experienced but hope it helps reassure you that we genuinely care.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
Kind regards,

Skype phone numbers; what do I get for what I pay?

Hey all, first time user here so please bear with me.
I'm ditching my home phone and getting a Skype phone instead.
My plan is to get a 12-month unlimited plan for Canada and the US, and a Skype Phone Number.
Problem is, I'm not sure if I can get a Canadian number.
If I *CAN* get a Canadian number, I need to know if I automatically get one when I sign up for a 12-month unlimited plan.
Finally, I need to know if I can log in to any Skype-supported device and use this unlimited plan, be it on a computer, mobile phone, iPad or game console.
Thanks very much for your help!!

Hello,
1. Unfortunately there are no Canadian Online #s.
2. You can make calls from a computer or Skype compliant phone using either a Skype Call Plan or Skype Credit.

Skype Phone for Mac OS 10.5.8?

Dear Apple discussions,
Can anyone recommend a UK spec Skype Phone for Mac OS 10.5.8?
Regards,
Technoapple

O.K. I may have asked this question before.
I want a dedicated skype phone with perfect Mac integration.
I still don't have a recommendation for a non-apple product.
Is that breaking the rules?
Having searched google and read some reviews I chose this one because it has a good review from a Mac owner.

Can someone pls recommend this app of Skype Phone? + I used the Wi-Fi skype

Good Evening!
Can someone recommand a Mac friendly Skype phone that
1. the base unit plugs into the (or Router) and the phone(s) are wireless
(just like using a 2.4Ghz wireless phones on a cable router)
2. To to be extra clear..... expansion phones that will work off the same base but it would be a drag to have to buy each phone with a base station just to expand the system.
3. I used the Skype Wi-Fi phone this week if anyone is interested just post and I'll post my findings and what applications and lifestyle it may or maynot fit.

Hi Bill, I will follow below with what I've found but you'll have to see if it fits your application....
My application: To lower my Cell Phone bill to it's min. and to cancel my home cable ip phone from CableVision.
Phone: SMC Wi-Fi Skype phone
Technically the phone sets up in a snap, first make sure you charge it the full 8 hours. No software required so the lack of Mac Phone support is not an issue here. There is s/w required however for the Skype account on your computer and now Skype does have a package out that works just fine with Mac.
After setting up your Skype account and charging your phone you should be ready to go.
Important to keep in mind: Skype is not a completely free service, if you live in the US you would pay approx $30 for SkypeIN for your own phone number of the Skype number and the ability to have any phone service, PSTN, Cell, Cable etc call you.
If you wish to use this phone for outcalls as well, your will pay approx $0.02 per min. unless your calling Skype to Skype.
In order to use your phone at home it's easy to for the phone to find a Wi-Fi network of yours and if need by enter it's security Key. Finding Wi-Fi networks outside the home is a different story.
Please remember that there is no 911 service so there is a risk there. Perhaps and hopefully not you have an emergency in the home at 2AM your skype is not charged, what happens if your Cell is not charged, so the risk here is giving up your landline. As a single parent, too big of a risk for me.
Inbound calls will ring both on the Skype phone and the Computer and I expect anywhere else you have the registered Skype service.
I'm not crazy about the inability to only store contacts for Skype Users in the phone. Now I have to go to my Treo Cell phone and bring up the contacts to call out on my Skype phone just to save some min. on my cell plan. Not worth it. So should I keep the Skype wifi phone just to have incoming free calls? maybe as a cool item for on 10 year old so he does not want a cell phone anymore.
I'm much more comfortable putting a Skype "Base" station in next to my Mac Desktop, attaching my presently owned Wireless phone base to that and using Skype as my Home service whereas I can use it as well on my Mac and use it as I travel on my MacBook Pro simply by using the iSight Mic built in to the MBP.
Bottom line is that while the Skype service may be fun and find some usage, it's a long way from taking over the world but Skype knows this and appears perfectly fine with it's niche for now.
Bottom Bottom line is if I work from home what does the Skype wifi buy me? Nothing at all and if I cancel my landline, I loose 911 which I'm not comfortable with.
Perhaps when Skype becomes more mature and feature rich and there are ALOT more users for Skype to Skype calls I'll look again.
Thanks
Tom

What is my Skype phone number?

How do I find out my skype phone number I dont know it

Hi, john.bell980, and welcome to the Community,
Sign on to your Skype account dashboard where you manage your payment methods and subscriptions. You should see a tile that says Skype Number; if you click on that icon/box/tile, your number will be shown.

Elaine

Can i use my itouch to make skype phone calls without wifi.

Can i use my itouch to make skype phone calls away from a wifi source just like a conventional mobile phone.

No. The iPod does not have a cellular connection. Thus, an iPod without wifi can't connect to the Internet
