Dual Mode Skype Phones

Posted by GazGuzla

A Dual Mode Cordless Skype enabled phone allows you to make both VoIP and traditional landline calls through the same handset. The Base Station connects to your router’s Ethernet port, which transmits the European DECT signal, a lower frequency that the traditional 2.4Ghz and the newer 5.8 Ghz cordless phones to the cordless handset.

The advantages of the lower frequency:

  • Longer range
  • No interference with Wireless Routers (2.4Ghz)
  • Better digital signal quality

Below is a ranking of the top 4 Dual Mode Skype enabled cordless phones, based on research and actual tests including voice quality, reliability, and reported problems at the Skype Forum:

  1. Netgear SPH200D
  2. Linksys CIT400
  3. GE 28310EE1
  4. Philips VOIP841
