USB Adapter Delivers Skype on Your Normal Phone

  March 14th, 2006



USB Adapter Delivers Skype on Your Normal PhoneUSRobotics has a new USB adapter that allows any standard phone to be used with Skype. The USR809620 adapter also allows you to place standard telephone calls as well by keeping your phone connected to the standard telephone line.

Thanks to advanced compression, echo cancellation and advanced signal processing you get 'supposedly' good call quality over either PSTN lines or via Skype. The adapter even allows you to forward incoming Skype calls to a cell phone and features call waiting between Skype and standard phone calls. Caller ID functionality displays the Skype ID or the phone number depending on the call type.

No words yet on the availability and price. There are plenty of these on the market; the Actiontec Internet Phone Wizard is one with similar function.
