Have you used a WiFi Skype phone? I've just purchased the neat black Belkin WiFi phone. It's PC independent - so the computer doesn't even need to be switched on - it works directly off my router. Thing is, the quality isn't at all good. I know Skype phones are relatively new and, maybe I was expecting too much for my money, but nevertheless..... Almost 100% of people I call say, "I don't know what's wrong but, everything I'm saying is being repeated back at me". So now, every time I make a call, I start out by announcing that I'm using an internet phone, to stop them saying anything. It's a real bore. What might be just a 2 minute call, is often 4 minutes instead. Anyone having the same or similar experience, please? BTW: I'm in London, UK.
Can someone tell me about Skype Wifi cell phones? I'm moving to another province and most of my calls will be long distance to my family. I would much rather get a cell phone than a land line, but I am trying to keep my costs down. I've just notice a Wifi Skype phone that I can get for free with my airmiles. What else do I need besides an internet connection? Can I call LongDistance to a regular phone with it? And what does getting Skype cost? Any information would be great, thanks!
Can you change the MAC address on the Belkin WIFI phone for Skype? 3 answers and all seem to miss the point. A very many devices allow you to change your MAC address, and there are many reasons you would want to do it. #1 with a wifi phone, since you don't have a browser, you can't access browser authenticated sites. If you can change your MAC address you can authenticate with one device (such as my iPod touch), then shut down that device and use the wifi phone on the iPods MAC address. Please people, only answer if you understand networks and are sure of your answer. I am not convinced that the first 3 answers have addressed my question.
Skype: Can you get skype voicemails directly from a wifi skype phone? From a regular phone? If you buy a skype phone that connects directly to an internet connection (not to the computer via USB), can you get your voicemails from those phones, such as with this case: http://us.accessories.skype.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=skype&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&categoryName=Phones&categoryID=4141800&parentCategoryName=Phones&productID=66159700 I believe the answer to the above question is yes, but I would like to verify against someone's knowledge. And second: is there a way to check skype voice mail from another phone such as from my cell phone?

wifi phone? If I get the new skype wifi phone (or pre-order it) can it be used anyplace where a wireless connection is based? For example, if I was driving through the city (I live in Chicago) can I "hook up" to any wireless connection that is leaking onto the street? I know there are certain wifi hotspots in the city where I could probably connect but I'm curious if the wifi phone can essentially replace my cell phone (at least in the city). I would appreciate any answers on this before I drop $200.
Are there any cell phones that have wifi? I am looking to find a cell phone that also has wifi so I can check email at wireless hotspots. I know that there are wifi skype phones, but that is not what I am looking for. I know that I can get internet service on my phone through the carrier, but that is not what I am looking for - it is too expensive. Just need a good phone for making regular cell phone calls, that will also allow me to connect to a wireless hotspot. Prefer Verizon, but i would switch carriers if i have to. Thanks! I feel the need to clarify this. I am looking for FREE wifi. The phones that come with T-Mobile allow connection with T-Mobile hotspots, $30/mo. for the service. I want to be able to connect to any wirelss lan, at my friends house, or at any random coffee house or public hotspot.

WiFi phones and Skype? Has anyone used a WiFi phone OR used Skype? How do you like either or both of these? I'm wanting to get Skype, but am looking at best route to go.

The problem with that idea, however, is that I'd like to take use Skype when I travel and I don't have a laptop. (Wi-Fi phone = can connect to "any" wireless signal vs having to be sitting at your own computer). THANKS!
Why won't my PSP and Wifi Phone detect my IP? I think it started when I connected 2 computers and my Xbox 360 to my router. I have a linksys router. No matter what I do, my PSP and Wifi Phone (For Skype) won't detect my IP. My router also has a WEP password if that helps. P.S. Also any laptop that tries to connect CAN find the IP. Its only the PSP and Wifi Phone so far that can't detect it.
