Disappointed with DPH-50U

On the good side, it was easy to set up, and worked reasonably well if the phone (tried both cordless and corded) was plugged directly into unit. However, I could not get it to work on other phones in the house when I used the jack to plug it into the wall per the instructions (so it would work like a land line on any phone in the house). I do not have a land line, so it may just need a land line to work since you are supposed to be able to switch back and forth. I even tried disconnecting the line...

Very Buggy!

I just bought one of these and when it works it works well.However, it keeps crashing the skype application after picking up the phone and hanging up while in VOIP mode.It seems that the USB driver is unstable and forcing the skype client to crash.I am currently using D-link driver version 1.16 and skype client version 2.5.0.146....

21st century and you spend all day fixxing junk

Didnt read the reviews.I had an impulse buy.Hardware is okay. But as stated, the software is junk. Used several phones and you CANNOT dial out using skype and a regular phone.Incoming skype phones dont ring regular phones. Why do I need this??Getting rid of my hard wired phone soon.Have a usb soft phone I got from wal-mart (28$$).And for my other reviews about being a techno phobe.....I downgraded to winxp and would take win98se back anytime. Its musical chairs finding drivers for both os's; However...

Unacceptable. This is worse than Beta.

I bought this a few weeks ago so that I could connect a cordless phone to my office computer and use Skype for my calling.When it works, it works well, and the sound quality is fine.Unfortunately, much of the time, it doesn't work.It drops calls at random.Customer support is dismal, I emailed them several days ago and didn't even get a response acknowledging the email, let alone a solution to my problem.Just now I have tried reinstalling the drivers but that seems to be failing.We have a VoSky Call...
