Summary: Service S***s
Comment: I would initially have given this telephone a 4-5 star rating, because at first it seemed pretty good. The interface worked, and it was really nice to have a phone that could call in and out on skype and our landline without leaving a computer on. I also bought 2 additional handsets and was ready to ditch our old phones. Good thing we didn't!
A little over 1 month into our use of the phone, it went on the fritz. The base station refused to communicate with the handsets, despite resetting, both hard and soft, and various efforts to manipulate the phone. I finally called Support, which is hard to reach, and they laboriously walked me through everything I'd already tried before finally conceded defeat. I had to send it in.
It is now over 2 months since I sent it in and we have seen neither hide nor hair of the thing. I finally got really impatient 2 weeks ago and called to see what had happened. Apparently, they had some migration of their service department, and weren't ready to take care of things. The representative didn't want to tell me how much longer I would have to wait, but then sort of agreed that it would likely go out in a week or two. I can now tell you that it has been over 2 weeks and we still haven't got it. Meanwhile, we have 3 handsets here we can't use. At this point, I'm ready to send it all back to the company and demand a refund, so I can get the Phillips version. At least they've been using that in Europe for a while and hopefully have the bugs out.
My biggest concern about the phone, while it was still otherwise working well, was the flimsy feel to the phone. It's largely composed of plastic and is very light. All in all, feels like a toy phone and it's probably not surprising it broke.

Summary: Great if it does not need to be reset once a week
Comment: This is a great product that works well for me. My regular line is vonage and I needed a second line for buisiness and Skype works well for that. The only issue is that I have had to reset the unit about once per week. I hope this resolves itself or a firmware update does.

Summary: Owner over a year
Comment: I own this product and loved it up to the moment it stop communicating with the internet. I am a computer networker, so I know my way around computers and gear of the sort. When I first got my GE Skype phone, I loved it. Stores Skype numbers, has cid / cwcid, cordless, doesn't require a pc to run, and allows you to intergrate you're other home phones. About a yr and a month out of the warrenty the thing stops working. I've troubleshooted the product at both home and work, and it still does not work properly anymore. I'm hoping this is just a random thing for it to stop commmicating with my router (perhaps I had a surge into my home, but I would be hard press to wonder how it affected my skype gateway only), so I'm going to take another leap of faith and buy another set. Atleast this way, I'll have two handsets ..... or two pieces of gear that doesn't work. I hope the first is correct.

Summary: Excellent service
Comment: the service from this company was exceptional, ordering was no problem with amazon and shipping was excellent it got there like 4days before estimated shipping arrival using expedited shipping. about the product...i love it, it allows my aunt who is not computer friendly to make calls to her relatives and friends whenever she wants wherever in the house. i would recommend to anyone to buy this product and secondarily to conduct business with this company.

Summary: Skype Phone
Comment: Works well and as others including cnet have noted the construction seems a tad cheap. Overall I would have to say I'm happy. Just wish it cost a bit less.
