Philips VOIP1511B/37 Skype Travel Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For years I have been using Skype with the VTP1000 phones offered at www.pcphoneline.com But I needed another usb phone in a hurry as a friend is going to Mexico next week and so I got this Phillips Travel Phone. I give it 4 stars. The sound quality is good but the volume does not go as high as my other skype phones. This has not caused us to have to repeat anything when talking, but it irritates me. Another thing that bothers me about this Phillips phone is there is no dial tone to it, unlike my other Skype phones. I am just used to that dial tone. The final thing is that when I make multiple international calls in a row but to different countries, I have to manually reset Skype on my laptop to the new country. My other phones do this automatically. For example, if I make a call to England, hang up and then call Mexico (country code 52), my other phones automatically sense from the 52 that the call is going to Mexico. No further action is needed on my part. But with this Phillips phone I have to get on the computer and reset the country from England to Mexico - as otherwise a number starting with 52 is not recognized by the phone. Not a big inconvenience, but an inconvenience nevertheless. I give 4 stars instead of 3 because this Phillips phone cost only half what my other phones cost. All things considered this Phillips phone is a good value at $30 or less.
