Wasn't there a disk with it that contained drivers?

Anyway, I think it's the same as this phone:
<[url]http://www.picstop.co.uk/Skype-USB-VOIP-Phone/USB-(Skype)-VoIP-Internet-[/url]
LCD-Phone---Red>.

There are links on the website for drivers, etc.

thanks for the prompt reply Martin - only drivers on site are for skype
phones and similar
no USB audio drivers on disk - picked Tesco because of choice of area code

the phone is a Yealink device: [url]http://www.yealink.com/[/url]

I didn't need any drivers to make it work under XP (nor Linux either
for that matter) However, I haven't used the Tesco software (I got it
as it was a cheap USB 'phone' and for nothing else)

Sure you actually need drivers?

You can get any code you want from many suppliers. Sipgate
([url]www.sipgate.co.uk[/url]) have free numbers for any area and no monthly charge.
Also being SIP you can use an adaptor and an ordinary phone, you aren't
tied to a computer.

There are many other providers that issue 020 numbers, not sure how many
issue local numbers beginning 3 though.

Have they sorted out the IPKALL issue, do they have a timescale, or have
they just decided they don't care if they annoy all their customers?

I am with Tesco now for the last 6 weeks. Absolutely perfect. The sound
quality that Skype couldn't offer, is offered by Tesco. To answer the IP
answer. I have seen this problem. Menu, options, audio devices. Choose USB
Audio device.
