There are 42 million active users worldwide and Skype to Skype users 15 million at any given time. Therefore, it is natural to want to use Skype as well. Whether to continue with the Jones, talks regularly with someone who is far away, or simply get rid of their fixed costs, softphones such as Skype, are growing by leaps and bounds every day.
In deciding to enroll in a Skype account (or any other softphone client) must have a speaker and a microphone connected to your computer. When first registered, I took my netbook had these things, but really only had one speaker to listen to people, but could not hear me. My first two weeks of Skype is used only for its instant messaging capability for that reason. Then I got the FreeTalk Skype USB headset, so I was able to speak and be heard again (no matter what you say, I missed the public!)
If a user softphone is rare, one or two calls a day, you can simply choose to invest in a USB headset that I use as the Everyman FreeTalk. This is a simple plug and play microphone binaural headset with a swivel arm. The sound is clear, the headset is very comfortable, and is only $ 29.99. Perfect.
However, if you plan on using your softphone or Skype to replace your normal landline or office, you may be interested in a USB phone with a familiar interface and some more features.
If you use your virtual phone for most business desktop-based, they feel more comfortable with a traditional look and feel your screen as the Belkin Skype phone. This black desktop IP telephone cable is certified to work with Skype and has the look of a traditional desk phone or analog input level of intellectual property. It has caller ID, call waiting, mute, conference phone, and call timer. Black vertical design makes you feel at home with this new technology.
If you enter more than laptops, the person may have to rely heavily on their softphone, but not necessarily at the same table all the time, you may prefer something a bit smaller and more mobile. There are two models skype phone that I recommend. If you prefer the old familiar feeling of holding a phone to your ear and do not want anyone sitting around you, try the disc Jabra 520. This inexpensive USB phone has all the appearance of your mobile phone with a simple USB cable so you can connect and make calls from anywhere you can use your laptop. Easy as pie.
If you're more a drifter and see for yourself using your IP Softphone in hotel rooms or in the car and see a speaker with a handheld, the IPEVO TR-10i is for you. This phone integrates perfectly with Skype or iChat and allows call mute, volume up and down, and recording local calls. Priced at under $ 45, you will begin to reap the savings of using a softphone immediately.
If you are a home user and want the comfort of your home phone with the cheapness of Skype or other IP Softphone, you may want to try the IPEVO S0-20. It is a WiFi phone when the base is connected to the USB port of your PC will automatically detect all the networks and connect to the network you prefer. Automatically connects to your Skype account and contact entry and Skype Credit. So easy, and an interface that they've come a. The So-20 is a "definite must-have" for consumers, not technical they want to do with the accounts ahead of the line.
