If anyone is looking for a great internet phone for Skype, the Phillips 1511 is it. The sound quality is as good as a land line and the price is around 25.00. from Amazon.com This phone is outdated...does NOT work with new version of Skype...seller did NOT mention this. It was a waste of my time and money. from Amazon.com I had experienced IP phones before. I used them for Skype. from Amazon.com Philips VOIP1511B/37 Skype Travel Phone This phone has been working on and off since the beginning. I kept on getting a message that it is not compatible with the current Skype version although I downloaded the latest Skype version. from Amazon.com Still working on the problem. The phone will work with Skype as far as I can hear and speak with it, but the rest of the phone does not work. I can't dial numbers or even turn it on. from Amazon.com First of all you MUST download the latest drivers from the Philips website. After you installed it - it works like a charm. from Amazon.com I called support when I got the message that the Voip151 didn't work with the latest Skype. The rep said, that Philips was out of the Voip phone business and so they wouldn't be doing any updating. from Amazon.com I was chagrined to discover after installation of the software accompanying this phone that it is not compatible with the current version of Skype, that no upgrade is available from Philips, and that Skype does not allow me to retrofit with the older version that was compatible with this phone. On the other hand, notwithstanding the annoying repetition of the incompatibility announcement, it seems to work OK. from Amazon.com I read comments related to its support for latest version of Skype. I do get message when its software/plugin starts but it doesnt matter. from Amazon.com I've been using Skype for work via headset, and have been getting horrible quality; however, in all fairness, I am also in a rural area and stuck using a mobile broadband card--thus, bad latency issues and low bandwidth when compared to DSL or Cable. I asked a friend to pick up a USB adapter for a regular landline phone, but was brought this phone instead, since the store I sent them to didn't have anything in stock. from Amazon.com
