The Philips VOIP841 is a self-contained unit that requires no installation of software or connection to a computer; simply plug the base into any power outlet in your house, connect it to your broadband connection, and you can start making free Skype telephone calls right away. (To make Skype calls, you must open a Skype account. A Skype account is not included with this phone.)
And by simply plugging your home telephone line into the VOIP841, this phone can double as your everyday landline, giving you the ultimate in convenience.
Easy to Use
If you've used a cell phone or cordless phone, you'll quickly be able to take advantage of all the features the VOIP841 offers. For easy readability, the phone features a 128x128 full-color display, and a 4-way directional pad provides you with easy navigation through the intuitive interface. The handset has enough memory for up to 500 Skype phonebook entries, giving you quick access to your contact list.
You can choose from up to 15 ring tones (5 standard, 10 polyphonic), and the phone allows you to set your ring tone by call type, distinguishing between landline and Internet calls. A speakerphone mode allows for hands-free operation, so you can take notes during the call or share the call with others. There is also a jack connector on the handset for connecting a headset.
DECT Frequency for Security and Extended Battery Life
By using the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) frequency at 1.8GHz, the VOIP841 offers you enhanced security features and a longer battery life than other frequencies. On battery power, the VOIP841 offers talk time of up to 12 hours and a standby time of up to 120 hours.
Each base station can accommodate up to four handsets, and up to four base stations can be used together for a total of 16 handsets. For office or home use, the intercom mode allows you to use one handset to call another handset located in a different room.
Customer Review: Highly recommend it!
I've purchased this product since April 2008 and I love it, makes my life easier and cheaper. Sometimes you have to reset (unplug the base from the outlet or take the batteries off from the phone) the telephone due to problems with the internet provider (system down) but In overall works great, I haven't had any problem. I highly recommend it! Skype software is installed, you just have to plug it in, upgrades automatically. I live outside the US and works perfectly for (Central, South America) and as I previously indicated my major problem has been my internet provider not the phone.
Customer Review: Wonderchild of technology...
For those who are a little tech-crazy this product gives a real high. I never have had any problem with this phone since i bought it 6 months before. I am using this phone as my home (landline) phone. My parents from India call through Skype internet client to this phone. This itself justifies the little higher investment. It is unfortunate that the product is no more in the market. I was thinking of buying one for our parents at India. But, at present price of more than $200, it is not worth... instead i could go for ASUS Eee PC which will give me a full functional laptop which i can keep always on, with a little more i'll get a ASUS AiGuru SV1 (skype video phone)
