Philips Skype VoIP Phone Ditches PC

Philips has joined the growing numbers of companies offering voice over IP (VoIP) phones to home users looking to cut call costs. The company has just unveiled its good-looking VOIP841 model, claiming it’s the first Skype-certified DECT phone that works without being connected to a PC. This is certainly a useful feature.

The phone allows users to make free Skype-to-Skype calls without having to Philips_voip841_voip_phone have the PC turned on. According to Philips, just hook it up to your broadband modem/router and you’re good to go. The phone can also be used for regular national and international calls.

It can store up to 500 names and Skype contact details, which can be browsed from the full-colour display. It also lists their current status. There’s a hands-free speakerphone, a choice of 15 polyphonic ringtones and a up to 12 hours talktime. It’s due to hit the streets in March for £130. Find out more here.
