FAQs
Q:Do I need to turn on my computer or laptop to use the phone?
A:No. Belkin’s Wi-Fi phone for Skype provides all functionality required to make and receive calls, without the need or hassle of turning on your computer.
Q:How do I download Skype to the Wi-Fi phone?
A:Belkin’s Wi-Fi Phone for Skype comes pre-loaded with Skype and is ready to make calls, out of the box, as long as you have a Wi-Fi network and a Skype ID.
Q:Where can I use the Wi-Fi phone?
A:The Wi-Fi phone will work anywhere in the world that offers secured or open access to a Wi-Fi network—i.e., in any home, office, public hotspot, or municipal wireless access point—that does NOT require browser-based authentication or user input of any kind. The Wi-Fi phone for Skype does not contain a Web browser and, therefore, cannot access hotspots that require Web-based login or authentication, such as credit-card input, hotel-room-number authorization, or any other type of user input.
Q:Do I have to already be a registered Skype user to use the Wi-Fi phone?
A:No, the Belkin Wi-Fi phone allows you to register for a free Skype account right on the phone. You can also use the Skype name that you have previously registered in any other Skype version (Skype for Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X).
Q:How do I get my contact list on my Wi-Fi phone for Skype?
A:Belkin’s Wi-Fi phone for Skype comes pre-loaded with Skype and is ready to make calls, out of the box, as long as you have a Wi-Fi network and a Skype ID. All of the contacts associated with your Skype ID will be loaded onto your phone when you sign in. Because contacts are now stored centrally on Skype’s servers, the contacts will automatically be added to your Wi-Fi Phone for Skype.
Customer Reviews
Do not buy
I bought the Belkin Wi-Fi phone for Skype. The unit works perfectly as it should except for one thing. It connects to my network perfectly. I am able to hear the person at the other end of the line just fine. Sometimes there is a small but acceptable delay in the connection. However, the person I am talking to is unable to hear me. I would have to repeat myself several times to be understood and after a few calls my best friend told me if I was going to call him on this phone he would rather not to speak to me at all! I now use a usb headset to make my skype calls. This phone fails. Too bad because it was almost the perfect phone.
