Skypephone WiFi

Q: Where can I get a WiFi Skypephone?

A: Yes, you can I take Skype with you. The two main approaches are to use your laptop computer, or a PocketPC device. Here's how.

Your Laptop as a Skypephone

Using your laptop computer as a WiFi Skypephone can work well, if you have the right equipment. The best approach is to use the Auzentech VR-Fidelity Skypephone.

Here's a quick rundown of what makes the VR-Fidelity the ultimate WiFi Skypephone choice when you have access to your laptop:

1. Hands-free usage
2. Noise cancellation
3. Talk and be heard within nine feet in any direction
4. An earplug jack for privacy
5. A built-in soundcard for great quality audio

Pocket PC as a WiFi Skypephone

If you have Skype for Pocket PC, you have a WiFi Skypephone. While not so pleasant as the VR-Fidelity, it is a great solution when you desperately need a WiFi Skypephone.

Here are the steps for a Pocket PC WiFi Skypephone:

1. Visit the download area of Skype.com
2. Find and click the "Skype for Mobile" link
3. Check the minimum software requirements
4. Select your brand, Pocket PC model, and then download
5. After installation, run Skype from the Pocket PC Programs menu

If Skype Mobile is unable to find a properly configured WiFi connection, it will prompt you to connect directly through your cellular connection, limiting you to Chat.

If your WiFi connection needs setting up, Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections dialog and follow the instructions. For more WiFi Skypephone information, visit Skype.com.
