Netgear SPH150D Accessory Handset Cordless Phone with Skype Reviews
It came up as unregistered, and then would not complete the registration with the base. The documentation was poor for registering the additional handset. I chose this phone over the phillips 841 because of the availability of additional handsets. I would definitely recommend this model if you want to use your skype account without the computer.
The VOIP service call quality is superior to the QWEST landline that I used to have. I've owned the Netgear sph200d and the spare handset for less than a month, however, it works flawlessly with my SKYPE account. The setup for the base station was simply to plug it into the router. After visiting the netgear website, I had to hold down the power button on the base for 15 seconds, and the registration was successful.
I use this phone as a replacement for a landline. I would recommend reading the user guide prior to purchase. I got a great deal at Frys for the base unit and handset. I had no issues with the handsets, including the extra one.
Overall easy installation and use. Oh, and the sound quality is fantastic, and you can't beat unlimited calls to the countries I need for either free ($9.95/month) or $0.02 per minute I have been using it for 2 weeks now, and I am very happy with how everything went. I just wish they would specify the headset plug size, some say 2.5 mm and others 3.5 mm. I'll have to find out by buying & trying.
I've put frequently called phone numbers on my Skype Contacts listthe Netgear knows to use Skype for these calls. To Netgear's credit, the techncial support rep I eventually reached was well-informed. I've used the Netgear SPH200D (base station and phone) and an additional. The Netgear interface is a cleverly stripped down version of Skype on a computer. Skype sound quality has improved considerably in the course of the year. After I assigned the Netgear base station a static IP address on my network (rather than the default DHCP), the phone connected faster to Skype servers. Basically the device implements Skype and throws in, as an extra, the possibility of ordinary telephone landline service.
phone (SPH150D) for about a year. The documentation got me started; trial and error taught more. For instance, "press" on the base station may mean "press and hold". It took me a while to discover the more advanced features of the Netgear. A static IP address is handy for access to the device's webpage, to check configuration and update firmware. I use the Netgear for pure Skype calls and, in conjunction with a Skypeout subscription ($3 per month), to call any phone in the US or Canada at no additional cost.
Though the device is pleasing, I give it only 4 stars because the documentation is less than clear, even about basic setup.
i got 2 phones and they dont work. please dont ever buy it. intead buy linksys very very bad.
Simple to use, works well, and has excellent voice quality. The product worked as advertised and provides me with the flexibility of combining my Skype and landline numbers on a single instrument, and cordless ability too.
