  • Engin oneHub ST790

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

  • 3 INQ1

    There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.

  • Netgear SPH200D

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

    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.

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