UK Skypephone
Q: In practice, how well do UK Skypephones work?
A: Normal calls to or from the UK are fraught with problems such as high charges, poor sound quality, and the hassle of country codes. Skype is usually more convenient, more reliable, and better sounding, but in practice it depends on your Skypephone. The Auzentech VR-Fidelity Speakerphone is an example of a UK Skypephone that makes international Skypephone calls a pleasure.
Design: The VR-Fidelity UK Skypephone is about the size and shape of a doughnut with a speaker suspended in the center hole. On the top is a mute button, a volume dial is on one side, and on the other side is an auxiliary output and an earphone jack.
Setup: Just plug the Skypephone into any USB port and you're ready to go.
Sound: The built-in soundcard in the VR-Fidelity UK Skypephone can radically improve the sound quality of desktop business computers that rely on the internal soundcard the manufacturer installed.
Full Duplex: Do away with headsets or cradling phones on your shoulder. The VR-Fidelity UK Skypephone provides echo-cancellation so your callers do not hear their voices echo back at them. You can both talk simultaneously without any loss.
Privacy: Plug headphones in the VR-Fidelity UK Skypephone when you want your conversation to be private. When someone walks up and starts talking during a conversation, put your call on hold with the mute button.
Sensitivity: The VR-Fidelity UK Skypephone picks up sound in all directions. You can talk hands-free within nine feet. You're not tethered to your computer.
