The world's first cordless 2-in-1 Skype™ Internet telephone - for maximum freedom and minimum telephone bills! 50 metre range!
The Cordless DUALphone is a cordless telephone that can be connected to a normal telephone socket and a USB port on a PC (not MAC!). The display shows whether your friends who also use Skype™, are online. If they are, you simply have to press the appropriate green button and talk to them for free – no matter where they are in the world.
SkypeTM makes it possible to make free calls over the internet. When you and your friends or family have installed the program, you can make a free call by selecting a name in the program. The other party's line will `ring' and as soon as they answer, you can talk
The Olympia Skype Phone is both a normal DECT cordless phone and a SKYPE phone. From our experience, it is very easy to setup and get working. So easy in fact that almost anyone can do it!
The phone connects to both your USB socket on your PC, and your telephone socket from BT, NTL, Telewest or whoever your provider is. The display on the phone shows whether your friends who also use SkypeTM, are online. If they are, you simply have to press the appropriate green button and talk to them for free - no matter where they are in the world.
If their PC is switched off, or you want to call someone who doesn't use SkypeTM, you simply press the other green button and call via the standard telephone connection. With the Cordless DUALphone you get both an Internet and normal telephone in one and the same product, which means you get an extra hands-free telephone line at home. You can dial and receive normal telephone calls or calls over the Internet. And naturally, there are no more sockets and wires to worry about.
There's no need to sit in front of your PC anymore to make free calls over the Internet. With the Cordless DUALphone you can roam within a radius of up to 300 metres from the base station. This means, for example, that you can be in the garden, or at a neighbour's house and still receive calls.
Simply connect the Cordless DUALphone to the USB port on your PC and then install the software. The telephone is then ready to make and receive calls via SkypeTM/SkypeOut or the normal analogue line.

What Do I Need This For?
The Yamamoto EasyBlue is a USB VoIP Exchange Adapter. It works in conjunction with the Skype VoIP Internet telephone software. The EasyBlue plugs into your computer and allows you to plug a normal home phone into it, then use the phone to call Skype subscribers all over the world free of charge. The EasyBlue acts as a telephone exchange and just because it's connected to your PC it doesn't stop the phone receiving normal incoming calls. So, in conjunction with Skype you will be able to make PC-to-PC, PC-to-Phone and Phone to Phone calls. The Phone to Phone calls will be with BT (or whoever your usual provider is and will be charged at their rates).
