Skype ready cordless phone purchase

i recently bought the skype ready cordless phone with plan for $104+, since then i have not received any confirmation email or anything of the sort saying when i will get my phone.
Does anyone know how long this takes for shipment and is it normal not to get a confirmation email.

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.

GE - SKYPE - Dect 6.0 Cordless phone doesn't compl...

Hi,
Two days ago, my skype phone model "GE - SKYPE - Dect 6.0 Cordless phone" stopped to complete calls. Weirdly skype (PC version) was with the same problem that day.
The call rings but when the other side answer, both sides can't hear nothing.
Today PC version is working normally however GE phone doesn't work anymore. I have tried other land numbers, but it doesn't work, people get the phone, but we can't hear each other.
I'm wondering if this kind of cordless skype phone has a expiration date of usage, even if is an old phone I believe that Skype should give support for this products.
Coincidence or not, Skype has just announced a new GE cordless phone (GE Digital Cordless Expandable Telephone)
I'm posing here because I can't find any other place to contact skype.

Hi jcantos,
Please be assured that your GE Phone is covered under a 12 month warranty and if the unit is deemed as defective, eBuyNow will reship them a new unit at no cost.
Before taking further steps please allow us to give you this troubleshooting to see if we can help you with your problem. Please ensure that the handset is within range of and linked to the base station. This is necessary for the telephone to charge.
When you put the handset into the charging cradle, you should see the following:
1. Charge indicator (RED LED) will light up permanently until the handset is lifted out of the charging cradle.
2. Handset initially displays "charging" within several seconds when the battery is low.
3. Handset will display scrolling battery icon for charging.
Please let us know the following:
1. Is the RED LED always off? Check if the handset charge pin really contacts to the charge cradle spring, as well as to verify if the sub-adapter connection is loose or not.
2. Is the battery not installed well? The handset will display "no battery". Disconnect and re-connect the battery pack into your phone.
3. Does the handset display "charging"? Wait a few minutes. If the handset starts to enter into stand by mode with the scrolling battery icon, the handset can be charged up.
4. Does the battery icon on the phone indicate battery low, but when put in the charger, indicates battery is fully charged?
5. Have you managed to successfully make a call from the handset?
6. Is the indicator light on of your base station?
The more information you can provide us with, the better we can assist you.
If you already went over the above and are still having problems, please contact our eBuyNow's Support team by visiting ebuynow.info/en/contact/ (add the http:// as this forum does not allow hyperlinks) and one of our agents will gladly assist you.

GE 31591 Skype Cordless Phone not accepting accoun...

I just received my GE 31591 skype cordless phone and it will not accept my skype account password--a message just reads "failed". I have tried everything that the manual suggests. I reset the phone back to factory settings and tried again but the failed message reappeared. I also went into my Skype account and changed my password and the phone would not accept this password either. If I can't get connected ,then the phone is absolutely useless. Please reply with a solution to this problem. Thanks

My phone suddenly stopped connecting to skype and when I go to Settings > Network, it starts "Retrieving information" and then it shows a "Failed!" error message, so it is impossible to see the IP address. I have tried to reset the settings but the same "Failed!" message appears.
My 31591 got into that mode once. I cured it either by power cycling the base station or by dicsonnecting the phone's battery for 30 seconds or so. I know I tried both, and now I don't remember which one fixed it.

Senior lady needs help getting cordless phones set...

Hello Everyone,
I have been successful making calls on Skype but I need to get my cordless phones set up with my home number on Skype. I purchased a Linksys Internet Phone Adapter and it shows it is getting power. But there is no light for Phone# 1 where I have the phone cord hooked up.
This is the way I have it hooked up:
A/C power to back of adapter
Regular phone line wire in Phone#1 from adapter to my cordless base unit
Internet cable wire from adapter to my internet router
The CD had no instant setup instructions on it or how to get the drivers off. I found the model number but couldn't figure out how to get the required info in to my computer.
Can somebody walk me through how to set this up? I'm an 80 yr old lady and all these PDF files looks like it would take somebody with an engineering degree to figure them out. Do you remember that old commercial....."Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" Well.....that's sorta me.
Can someone please help me?

The PAP2T is not compatible with Skype's standard service. It is only compatible with SIP providers and is usually more difficult to configure as well. Skype does support SIP in a business environment with additional hardware at a greater expense, unfortunately that solution really won't work for you. The only standalone device that I'm aware of that is still compatible with Skype is the Freetalk Connect Me (Talk-12xx). It is similar to the device you have but it is designed to work solely with Skype's standard service.
I cover the requirements a bit here:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Hardware/FreeTalk-1200-requires-no-monthly-payment-to-operate/td-p/386...
There is also a walkthrough of that device here:

You can purchase it from the following locations:

Cordless phone

can I use my regular cordless phone to make calls with skype? I have a uniden dect 6.0 phone. dont want to buy a dual phone or use a headset. Is this possible?

You would have to purchase an adapter that would connect to your router or a usb adapter that would plug into your computer. You relephone would then plug into the adapter and allow you to place calls on your Skype account. There are many adapters on the market, just google "skype phone adapter". Be sure and research the adapter before buying!

GE cordless phone model 31591

I recently purchased a GE cordless phone model 31591 which is skype compatible. It is up and running but when connected it disconnects my voicemail service.
Can anyone suggest a fix please?

On the 'phone itself: menu > settings > skype call > voicemail > Forward unanswered > On
On the Skype account: https://secure.skype.com/account/?intcmp=sign-in voicemail > enabled
Make sure that account is not logged in anywhere else.
That should work for incoming Skype calls to the 'phone (it will not work for incoming landline calls).

Submit: Great Skype for Windows Phone ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Phone idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows Phone.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video Messaging
We‘ve just launched Video Messaging on Windows Phone so you can now send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging on Windows Phone and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Phone Integration
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for Windows Phone? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Calling
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Instant Messaging
Video calling is one of Skype’s most popular features. What do/don’t you like about Video calling on Skype for Windows Phone and do you have any ideas for how we can make video calling even better?
Some things to include:
Start with a clear title
add appropriate label(s)
list features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
I have an idea to improve the Windows Phone software itself?
Microsoft has set up a Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box for exactly that purpose. Share your idea here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include areTake a photoChoose from albumsSearch from webDeleteThat appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Using Adapter with Cordless Phone

Hi everyone! My family and I are going to live in South America next week and need help deciding whether to buy the Skype Adapter or the Dual phones. If we use the adapter and get an online number, if someone calls our online number, can we answer the call on our cordless phones?
Also, does anyone know if the adapter has to be connected to the computer to make calls?
Thank you!!!

Howdy, I think it's unlikely you'll be able to do what you want. There haven't been any new phone drivers for Palm OS devices issued since the 2005 Phone Link Update, and the Palm OS is essentially dead so there won't be any new drivers written.

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER A...

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER AND USE LOGITECH SKYPE CAMERA TOGETHER? ARE THEY COMPATIBLE? OR DO PANASONIC PLAYERS ONLY WORK WITH PANASONIC WEB CAMERAS ON SKYPE?

Following 2 yrs of thread here and just having been given a new Panasonic BD110 3d Blu Ray with a Skype button on its remote, DNLA, built in WiFi, ethernet, BBC i-Player, YouTube etc. I set it up and went thru BluRays, DVD's, HDMI, sound etc. I was impressed, so I bought a decent webcam and plugged it in - nothing happened. Read the manual, did everything spot on, nothing! Pana's web site, Skype, Bing, Google, customer "support", confusion all round.
It seems Panasonic don't now sell either of their own cameras (discontinued? binned? still supported? forgotten? hoping we'll forget) - but the Blu Ray/Skype models are still for sale. If this concept had been made to work, it would have been world beating!! Otherwise a recall and refund or upgrade offer should be made. There's been no apology or explanation that I can find.
This is a scandal from such a reputedly "high end" manufacturer that makes stuff for hospitals even!! And it has published DNLA and other approvals that clearly are not true.
I'll be in touch with Panasonic again and try escalating the issue, though it seems Japan knows about it and are keeping quiet in the hope the problem will fizzle out. We should individually contact the technical press and their web sites and also raise Caine under a Trade Descriptions breach. Making a warranty claim is fully justified too.
We don't know how many they sold and how many want that feature but I'll bet many thousands were made. So if a big enough bunch of us complain we should be able to make life uncomfortable for the idiots who failed us, their own employees, some important business partners, the Standards folks, and the poor souls who have to speak to us on the phone or across the Argos & Curry's counters.
Best regards

I'm about to purchase Lion. My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone. We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases. Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID?

I'm about to purchase Lion. My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone. We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases. Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID or do we have to use different Apple IDs for the purchase? If we use the different Apple IDs can we still use the same ID for all of our purchases.

And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install. Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

Static on my cordless phones

I am lacking in knowledge about my new router. I have several cordless phones in my home. Right now there is an annoying amount of static interference on the phone while in use. Is this noise caused by the router in some way? If so what is my solution if there is one? 3 of the phone are new and part of a set. I want to check here about the router before I call Panasonic about the phones.

If you have a DSL line, make sure you have installed line filters on all telephone lines, except the one that your modem uses. If this is not the problem, then read on:
Many wireless phones use the same 2.4 GHz band that the router uses. To see if the problem is related to the router, get on the phone, note the static, then have a friend unplug the wireless router. Does the static instantly stop? Wait 30 seconds, then plug the router back in and allow the router to boot up. Did the static start again?
If the problem is related to the router, then the solution is to try to get your phone and your router to use different channels. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. The channels overlap, so try to set the router and your phone so that they are at least 5 channels apart. Usually channels 1, 6, and 11 work best.
Some phones cannot be set to a channel. In this case, simply try different channels on the router.
In most cases, you can find some settings that will eliminate the problem. However sometimes the only solution is to replace the phone. If you need to get a new phone, look for one that uses the 5+ GHz band, or the new DECT 6.0 phones that use the 1.9 GHz band. Note that some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 GHz band, so check the specs carefully. Many phones are now marked "Wi-Fi Friendly" or carry similar designations -- look for this when you shop.

Cannot Dial Out With a Cordless Phone

A month ago I had a phone line installed at my flat. It's a New Build so I was starting from scratch. I've tried two different cordless phones in the socket and neither will dial out. I get a dial tone, but when I punch in a number a voice tells me the number isn't recognised. Yesterday I plugged in a friend's phone which is a big old corded thing that's at least fifteen years old. It worked fine. Another friend says the only real difference is that the old phone isn't digital and that I can't use a digital phone on my phone line. Has anyone heard of this before? I'm not sure what to do. I've had nothing but trouble with BT getting my address and billing wrong and I'm sick of them. I don't want to call again and lose more of my precious life force if I don't have to.

Hi and welcome
Ensure you have unplugged all other equipment when you have tried a different phone.
Have you tried the phone (with no ADSL filter if you have Broadband) direct in the test point of your main socket?
This main socket looks like this.
remove the 2 screws each side of the socket and gently remove the bottom half, just in side the bit left on the wall you will find another socket on the right hand side, plug your phone directly into there and check if you can dial out now.
If you cant dial out correctly to here (i would try a couple of phones), there is a fault outside of your premises and you should report it to your comms provider.
If it works ok to the test socket you have a fault within your premises either on wiring or aparatus.
