Skype WiFi Phone Review
It's Time to Ditch Your Skype Headset

The Skype WiFi phone is set to displace the Skype headset as the default option for accessing the Skype phone service. They are a little more expensive, but the overriding benefit is that the best options enable users to Skype without a computer. In so doing they overcome the most common complaint about Skype.

Skype Credit - Make Cheap Calls to Phones and Mobiles

The three main types of Skype wireless phone are:

  • DECT 6.0 phones
  • Dual mode Skype Internet phones / land line phones, and
  • Skype WiFi phones.
  • While DECT technology is the latest and greatest cordless home phone technology, it's seldom the best solution for users of Skype cordless phones. They want to use their phones when traveling as well as at home, which is achievable with a WiFi phone thanks to the pervasiveness of WiFi networks. DECT cordless phones on the other hand are strictly for home or office use.

    Best Skype WiFi Phone

    The best rated Skype WiFi phones have some obvious similarities, but they are overshadowed by variations in both features and price.

    Skype WiFi Phone
    Panasonic Wi-Fi Phone

    Panasonic Wi-Fi Skype Phone 5/5

    The Panasonic KX-WP1050 is a first class Skype WiFi phone. If money isn't an issue then this phone is the one to get. It's more expensive than the alternatives, but it's worth it. It's hard to find anything negative to say about this phone. It's easy to use, works brilliantly and delivers exceptional sound quality.

    Panasonic manufactures some of the best cordless phones. Apart from being well made they typically address the key features that consumers want. They've applied the same principles to the Skype WiFi phone. In case the point is missed the phone comes with it's own traveling pouch.

    IPEVO S0-20 WiFi Skype Phone 4/5

    The IPEVO S0-20 is the cheapest and most recently released wireless Skype phone. Since it's release in 2009 it has out sold all other options (including the Panasonic KX-WP1050). We are yet to find a serious review that has found anything negative to say about this phone. It's the ultimate plug'n play deal. The documentation is more than adequate but not required.

    If you're about to invest in a Skype headset check out the IPEVO phone first. Alternatively, if you own an iPhone get the free Skype for iPhone download. At the same time why not get a Skype Online phone number and start taking full advantage of the Skype phone service.

    Belkin WiFi Skype Phone - 2/5

    The Belkin phone is the original Skype Internet phone. They were ahead of their time when first released in 2005. Even today they are easily mistaken for a cell phone and continue to sell strongly.

    Sadly they don't have a great reputation when it comes to performance. Users were more willing to be forgive when they were first released, but not any more. WiFi phones are no longer a novelty and users refuse to accept a phone that continuously drops out.

    The Belkin phone is not cheap. It's actually one of the most expensive options.

    Summary

    Most of us learnt how to use Skype with a free Skype download and a headset, but times have changed. Even if it is a cheap VoIP phone service, we expect to use a Skype Internet phone and not a headset. The good news is that there are now two or three excellent WiFi phones to choose and they can be used almost anywhere.
