Actiontec VoSKY Call Center for Skype Calls

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Simplicity, ease of use: Does everything you could possible want with Skype including call forwarding, notification, reuuse of existing home line

Weaknesses:Requires always on PC.

Overall Evaluation: Rarely do you find something that works this well out of the box. In the simpleset usage model; you connect this to the PC USB port and any standard phone to it; and make and receive skype calls using the phone. If you route your landline through this instrument; it gives you access to both your landline and skype calls on one phone. Included software even allows using your PC as an answering machine. Can setup up the landline to call any forwading number (eg your cell phone) after a certain number of rings. All you pay is the cost to dial your cell phone from the landline. You can call your home phone from any phone; and connect to this skype server by entering a code – and now you can make skype calls from wherever you are. If the cobtact is offline, you can have skype call you back automatically when the contact comes online. All this for free; all you need is the home PC to be on to use the features. Might as well reuse a home media PC for this. But waht is most amazing is how easy it is even for a novice to setup any or all of these features using this instrument.
