Bought wireless mobile for Skype; also several Business Colleagues were on Skype. In last 3 months, I've found the whole thing to be nothing more than a toy, certainly not for Business use - it's too flakey.

1. Calls to same country skypeout numbers sometimes appea engaged (usually at weekend) even when 'free'. Tested this on my own phone and it told me I was engaged! Business Conf call numbers receive the skype 'engaged' tone, often at weekends when not in use and 400 lines are open listening. Lol!

2. DTMF tones don't work. Period. Skype blame this on the particular skype out provider's gateway you happen to be connect to and want details of your call time and country. Skype, it hasn't worked for 2 years, come on - read your forums. Business people need this - they don't want to load up 3rd party JAVA keypads and type in tones while holding Ipod headphones next to laptop mics - this is the 21st Century and yet we're going backwards! Voicemail, Banking, Conf Calls, extentions, cinema tickets, credit card numbers in fact anything that requires tones, just doesn't work!

3. Call can drop right in the middle of a conversation. Defintetly would not use for client contact

So, for now. Hardware confined to the parts bin. A gimmiky toy, I'll give you that, but definetely not for Business. Incidentally, my corporation has effectivley reminded its staff (globally) that using skype is strictly prohibited on the grounds of security - as skype uses peer-to-peer technology, not client server, like other voip providers, so poses more of a security risk.

I have since swapped voip provider and now get a robust service. They are cheaper than skype, offer more services, your own virutal PABX and don't have a problem with DTMF tones in any country I've dialled - wow! They also Peer with other networks (Unlike skype). So I am now a happy bunny again - using a softphone; I just need to buy a decent sip phone now. Just a shame I wasted money on Skype hardware and can't configure the firmware away from Skype.
