Default bt-compatible / cordless/ skype phones


Any recommendations? Have a single BT line here and would like to have
a pair of cordless handsets able to be used either as Skype or regular
phones.

And while I'm at it, any recommendation for a pair of webcams - only
needed for video conferencing over skype etc. ?

You'll regret posting that. I did something similar the other day
and got flamed.

What's Skype if it isn't Voice over IP?

Skype is to VoIP what AOL is to Internet Service Provision.

IMHO of course.

SIP all the way!

Actually these days AOL seems to be a pretty good ISP. It was one of
the last to stop offering true unlimited broadband, for example.

Some of the new dual-purpose phones can be used for Skype
without a PC connection. The Dualphone 3088 is one.

Others needs a USB connection for the Skype calls. These
should be a bit cheaper.

If you go here and select the option for Phones, you'll see
what's available for Skype (other suppliers will have them
too.)

I note there's one with a free webcam!

AOL UK is now part of Carphone Warehouse. I don't see it remaining a
pretty good ISP for much longer.
