Reviews

  • Skype 4.1 beta

    Skype's new screen-sharing feature is a clever addition to the VoIP communications application. The new beta also sees birthday reminders reinstated, a favourite feature of past builds.

  • Engin oneHub ST790

    Engin's oneHub benefits from simplicity, but also suffers from it in comparison to other all-in-one router/VoIP solutions.

  • Netgear SPH200D

    Ready availability of extra handsets makes the Netgear SPH200D more easily expandable than competing dual-mode cordless phones with Skype.

  • MyNetFone Netgear TA612V

    The TA612V is a solid unit that provides a low-cost way to make VoIP calls. It is a good choice for a household or small home office where users are keen to cut their telephone bills.

  • Netgear SPH101 Wi-Fi Skype Phone

    If you're hopeless Skypeaholic with a home Wi-Fi router, the SPH101 is your dream product. If you're a budget minded VoIP fanatic, maybe not.

  • Linksys CIT400 Skype Phone

    The Linksys CIT400 allows you to make both land-line and Skype calls, all without a PC.

  • MyNetFone Linksys SPA2100

    The SPA2100 is a good quality VoIP ATA, and comes highly recommended, although we'd suggest shopping around for an unlocked unit.

  • Logitech Premium Notebook Headset

    For frequent fliers who rely on VoIP or speech recognition software, the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset is worth its expensive price.
