Ipevo Free-1 USB Phone White + Black Sharing Pack Skype Certified Reviews
I'm in the US, she's in France. I'd love for it to have a record button, those are always useful. Plus, I'm always in an internet cafe or at Starbucks, so I don't feel like sharing the last details of my life with a bunch of strangers ordering their lattes. So, no, it doesn't do the dishes, but if both parties have a fast connection and Skype, the quality of voice beats regular phones hands down. The design is also really attractive, and reliable. I think the other model of it, Free2, has it, but I'm not sure. I've been carrying it in my briefcase, and it's easy to store.
Minus:. I've got a mac, she's got a PC. It only took one second to fix, but not having that problem at all would be better. We talk with Skype. I ran across the New York Times review of this little beauty and thought I found the perfect solution. We both got tired of stretching our necks to talk to each other. My mom has been using it with the POV webcam they make too, and I think the first time she put it in, the webcam microphone got set as a default microphone instead of this usb phone.
A great bit of kit, a smaller handset than your usual home phone (it's 15cm long and just under 4cm wide) and it works. It's got some useful buttons on it that scroll down your Skype contacts list so you don't actually have to touch the computer to make calls and stuff. I can't think of the last time I plugged the same new piece of hardware into both PC and Mac and it worked first time, so 10 points for IPEVO for that. what more can I say. I knew what I wanted - a corded handset, nothing too expensive, that worked out of the box. I also wanted - and this was the tricky part - to find one that would also work on my Mac and not just the PC.
I had a choice of ringtones on the handset (all pretty basic), where the sound came from (I could have it from the computer's speakers or the Free1 handset), how loud various bits `n bobs were. Having got fed up with the irritating echoes on Skype through the computer speakers, plus the fact that talking into a microphone in front of your PC isn't very relaxing, I decided to get a Skype phone handset. Straight away I have to say that this whole buying experience was excellent - Amazon are usually very good for me but this time they excelled; my phone arrived less than 36 hours after I had ordered it and even with Free Super Saver Delivery. It's a great little phone that I highly recommend. When it arrived I plugged it into the USB port on my Mac and it worked as a phone instantly. When checking around for products I was amazed at how expensive some of this stuff was. It cost me £17.99 which is one heck of a bargain. I then loaded the drivers for the PC, plugged it into the PC and it worked instantly then too (although I did have to shut down first, as it informed me).
However pressing all the little buttons on it did nothing so I went to the IPEVO website and downloaded the drivers, realised that I have to run a little separate program as well as Skype, ran the program and off it went. Fortunately I stumbled across the IPEVO FREE1 phone and various reviews that said it worked on Mac OSX (if you download the drivers) so I ordered it. Sound quality seems fine on both platforms, there's a little green light so you know it's working and. Basically all the things you might need to change. Equally there was some very cheap stuff out there but I had no idea if it would work.
I've had no trouble at all with it and the price is very reasonable. Once that is done, and it's very easy, this phone performs great. Audio quality is very good. My only compliant is that the cord is probably longer than it needs to be, but better that than being too short. The reviewer that put it in the drawer just needed to go to the manufacturers website and download the driver that works with Macintosh computers.
I put it in a drawer and threw more than US60.oo buying them, Again 2 pieces of junk. Mini disc not compatible for Macbook, and unable to be recognized by my new MacBook.
Works like a charm and it s small enough to fit into my laptop bag. I acquired a Free-1 phone some weeks ago and all I have to say is what a wonderful piece of hardware. Stylish, small, lightweight, easy to use and functional.
