(VoIP) and, in particular, Skype, causes increased interest among many active Internet users. For people, previously not encountered with her, she produces an indelible impression. Still, you can, you can talk to the subscriber who are at any point in the world, for example, in the USA or New Zealand. And you need nothing to do anything - the dynamics of yes a pennate microphone (not counting, of course, a computer with access to the network).
Internet telephony as a whole and Skype service in particular are very attractive communication channel for users. When calling users of the service to pay only for Internet traffic, and it is now inexpensive, especially when unlimited connection to the network. It is possible to call through Skype to stationary and mobile numbers, but it is necessary to make a small subscription fee. For example, the Unlimited Plan "Peace", within which you can call in stationary phones in more than 40 countries around the world, will cost 10.29 euros (with VAT). True, Ukraine is absent in the list of countries, and telephones only in Moscow and St. Petersburg are available in Russia. In addition, Skype supports sending SMS, video calls, voice mail, call forwarding.
Time is coming, and users are now offered already specialized telephone devicesSupporting Internet telephony (even if not all of its capabilities). First of all, these are phones that work with Skype (many are officially certified for Skype) - the most popular VoIP service. That is, it is not an attempt to make a Skype-background from the usual mobile phone using, and the device specially designed for these purposes. We will consider the advantages and disadvantages of four such gadgets available in Ukraine.
What are Skype-backgrounds?
SMC WSKP100.
The SMC WSKP100 model is not new - for the first time was represented in 2006. She has an Internet connection through Wi-Fi. This apparatus does not differ from the old-fashioned mobile phone. It is a monoblock with a color CSTN-display with a diagonal of 1.8 inches. The design of the device does not affect the imagination, it is rather clumsily on the form of a device of almost two perhamn thickness. The housing is made of plastic, there is no complaints to the quality of the assembly.
IN keyboard block There is a navigation key. On the left phone of the phone there is a sound adjustment key, on the lower end there is a miniusb port and a connector for a wired headset, which is included in the package. Both connectors are covered with plugs. The phone is charged via the USB port, the package includes a network charger and a USB cable.
Connecting the phone to Skype no difficulties caused. He quickly found wi-Fi network, after which I requested the login and password of the Skype user. Upon completion of all necessary manipulations, the device was ready for Internet calls. Communication This phone provides high-quality, but when using a headset, the connection has worsened noticeably, the subscriber's voice became quiet and muted.
The SMC WSKP100 phone has a rather modest functionalitythat however, is characteristic of all such gadgets. There is a list of contacts, voicemail, the ability to search for contacts in Skype, several call melodies are preset, there is a vibration mode, as well as call history.
SkypeMate USB-W1D / W1DL
The SkypeMate USB-W1D / W1DL phone is a wireless USB phone. Externally, it looks like a regular DECT phone, consists of base station and silver-black tube made of plastic. The quality of their assembly and appearance There are no complaints, although I will not call this gadget with imaging. The tube is equipped with a monochrome display, which is in active condition illuminated by blue light.
In order to use the phone, you must connect the database to the computer to the computer via USB output. The computer must be installed Skype. If it is not, Skype can be installed from the disk that comes with the phone, or download from the network (the program is free). From the same disk you need to install the SkypeMate program designed to synchronize a USB phone with the Skype application. After completing this procedure, the USB-W1D / W1DL handset will display a list of contacts previously entered in the Skype installed on the computer. To call, it is enough to choose from the list the necessary contact and click on the call key (it is the same as in Mobilki).
It should also be noted that the base of the phone is used both for charging the tube and for working in conference call mode. To enable conference mode based on the database there is a special key. It is necessary that the tube is based on. In addition, the phone itself can work with another Internet telephony program - X-Lite application (Skype analogue), but working with it goes beyond the articles.
As for the vicerity itself, its quality corresponds to the quality of communication of a regular phone. Hearing is good both when using the tube and in conference call mode. The radius of the tube is 50 meters, which is enough for a regular apartment or office. And according to the possibilities, it is similar to SMC WSKP100.
Dualphone 3088.
Phone DualPhone 3088 also looks similar to the usual DECT. Its design at the average level, the quality of the assembly is excellent. The housing is made of black matte plastic. The highlight of this device is the ability to simultaneously connect to a regular fixed telephone network and to the Internet, and bypassing the computer. Installation does not cause any difficulties and takes a few minutes. In this case, the base station must be connected to the telephone and computer network. The installation process is very intelligibly described in the attached instructions in Russian.
The package includes a basic station connected to telephone line and the Internet, as well as the stand for the handset, which is at the same time and charger. The radius of the base station is 50 meters. In the phone settings, you can select a priority line of communication - ordinary or Skype. The priority line is easier to operate, less manipulation with buttons. When talking on one line, you can hear the call on the other and switches to the new subscriber.
The device provides excellent connection, both by telephone and through Skype. I am glad that he has a color display. In terms of functions, it is similar to other tubes.
ASUS AIGURU SV1
The ASUS gadget is the most expensive (about $ 300), but also the most functional - supports video calls. What puts it out of the contest and strengthens interest in him. Against the background of the rest of the gadgets, it is also highlighted by the design: it does not like an ordinary phone, but a video clone for inpatient use. Therefore, it will take some time to get acquainted with this device.
