5 out of 5 stars Works great and highly recommended   May 15, 2006

I just got this from BEST BUY and the price was same as Amazon ($60), for now. I went out looking for a USB Skype Phone and bumped into this one and bought it right away. I am very pleased with this product and my purchase and would highly recommend it and here is why.

I have both SkypeIn (allows you to have a phone no. of your choice for 30 Euros, approx US$ 38, per YEAR.) and SkypeOut (allows you to call any phone in the world much like a prepaid phone card) and I wanted to be able to use Skype away from my PC/Laptop so that I was not "tied" to one place in my apartment. So I started looking into USB Skype phones. A good one with a cord costs around $ 40 and a good cordless one costs $ 80 (I am referring to the one from Linksys and that one doesn't have the best reviews in the world so I was bit skeptical). Now for $ 60, this adapter plugs right into your USB port and allows you to use any good old phone (corded or cordless) with Skype. It doesn't need any separate power supply and is a nice little self contained unit.

Installation was a breeze and took less than 2 minutes and no computer reboot was necessary. I fired up Skype and plugged in a old corded phone and was good to go!! I made and received calls via Skype using my old phone and the voice quality was great. Next, I tried a cordless phone and it worked great too. So now I have a wireless Skype phone and I am very pleased with it. Not to mention I am putting my old discarded phones to good use now.

You can use the same phone for both Skype and your regular phone line if you want to but since I got rid of my landline phone long time back I couldn't try that feature. So I can't speak for that part. The manual does say that it's possible. Overall, I would highly recommend this if you are looking to go wireless with Skype using your good old cordless phones or just want to have the convenience of using a corded phone away from your PC. Believe me, even if you have WiFi in your place you would still want this. I have WiFi but I would rather use a cordless phone to talk on Skype out on my deck rather than lug a laptop and a headset out with me. I think most of you would agree with me on that one. Also, Skype website has similar adapters for a little less money ($ 10 less I think), so you can check those out as well if you like. I was familiar with the D-Link brand name from before compared to the brands on Skype so I went in for this one.

If you're looking for a very useful product at a great price, this is it. Very easy to set up and has very good sound quality. Make sure to use the driver for Atcom's AU-600 driver since the D-link driver is not updated and has defects. I recommend to anyone that uses Skype.

I have had this adapter for a little over a year, and have been very satisfied. I have had no problems with the driver, and sound quality through my cordless phone is equivalent to using a headset on the computer. With Skype's new unlimited SkypeOut North America Plan for $23.60 and 1 year of SkypeIn for $24, you can get a year of unlimited long distance phone service for under $50! This setup has replaced my landline for a fraction of the cost, and I couldn't be happier.

I was little skeptical since I wanted to configure this device on my windows vista desktop. After reading few positive feedbacks about using on vista, I decided to give it a try.
Installing DPH-50U was a breeze and absolutely no hassles of any types. I just did one simple google search for latest drivers for Vista. Downloaded them from dlink support site. Installed as per instruction and device was up and running. Then I connected my Motorola cordless phone to it and subscribed for skype in ($18 for 3 months) and I was ready with my new landline phone.

Skype call quality is very good. And DPH-50U installation was amazingly simple and straightforward.

Overall, I am very satisfied.

This device is great, works out of the box. Just followed the instructions in the booklet, i have windows XP SP2 btw and skype already installed.

I was nervous upon buying this as some folks gave negative comments. However i found no issues, talked to my folks over it and it works great so far.
