You paid big money, and continue to pay big money, for an E911 SELLPHONE!
Why do you need more than that? That's crazy.
Now, if you read the rest, you don't have to have a PC running, AT ALL,
to use Skype anywhere in the house. That's what wifi is for! The RJ-11
interface with some Vonage BS phone company is FAR more expensive than
Skype phones on wifi. I took out all the wires....my wifi covers my
whole neighborhood from the node up the tree!
My SELLphone is my Skype phone because I have my Skype In number
FORWARDED to my SEllphone number if I don't answer Skype calls....even
Skype-to-Skype calls! So, if a friend in Japan, for instance, wants to
call me, he calls me on Skype-to-Skype, my SELLphone rings and I talk to
him....from anywhere I happen to be, without a Skype phone, by just using
airtime if he calls me from Japan at 3AM in the morning! If he calls me
on Skype-to-Skype at NOON in Japan, I'm on free N/W airtime on Alltel and
that call costs both of us NOTHING! My bill has LOTS of evening
"Unknown" calls from the Skype-to-Skype callers.....long winded calls...
(c;
You don't need a single piece of extra equipment to use Skype from what
you already own....*****ew the wired phones in the house.
