USRobotics USR9630 Cordless Skype Phone

The USRobotics USR9630 is capable of being used as a standard PSTN phone or as a VoIP phone to make calls via Skype. The base station plugs into a phone socket and also into a PC running Skype. You can connect up to 4 handsets to the base station at any time, making it suitable for the small business or home enviroment where the decision to make the switch to VoIP is still in progress.

As well as being dual-purpose, the USRobotics USR9630 has an indoor range of 150 feet and an outdoor range of 900 feet. It only supports the Windows XP version of Skype and runs off DECT 6.0 (for prevention interference from other devices broadcasting signals). For those hoping to use the USR9630 for making Skype calls, it supports many features such as caller ID and voice mail.

Priced at $119.99, the USR9630 is not a bad way to make the switch from PSTN to VoIP especially when you can make use of both worlds.
