Freetalk Connect•Me adapter

[primetimelive]

Hi,
I'm interested in how the adapter works. I tried looking for reviews and setup guides to no avail.

From my understanding, the adapter gives a regular phone the ability to be used on Skype. However I have a few questions regarding the adapter.

1. If you're only using a phone with a regular adapter, how do you dial your Skype contacts?

2. Will I still be able to connect my phone to a regular landline along with the adapter?

Hi,

1. You can configure your contacts as speed dials and dial them using preconfigured numbers, like *1, *2, *3

2. Yes the product will alow you to use your regular land line as well.

Hope it helps

Thanks!  This helps with my decision greatly.  

Would this be a better solution than the Dualphone RTX 3088?  The adapter is cheaper at around $60.  And I've read so many bad reviews here on the forum about the Dualphone.

In my personal opinion the adapter is a better option because it allows you to use your existing home phone. I was personally waiting for an ATA type of a product that does not require a computer for Skype calling for a long time. I have never used RTX so I can’t judge but I think this adapter is a more of a natural approach.

Let me know your calling experience whatever option you decide to take.

No problem, I'll let you know what happens. Just keep an eye on this thread.

I recently came into the possession of two VOIP3212 phones. I might just use them as a landline phone with the Freetalk Connect*Me adapter since I don't want to keep my computer on all the time.

I am looking into skype as my home phone.

1.) Does your home computer have to be on all the time if you utilize this adapter?

2.) If I understand, a normal home phone will work with this adapter?

Thanks,

Dan

1. Nope you dont need to have your computer on

2. Yes your home phone is then able to call in an out via Skype

Great! That is what I needed to know. I think I am going to be converting to Skyoe for phone real soon.

I can't say how the adapter works but I've recently purchased and started using the RTX Dualphone 3088. Personally, I think it works great and Skype and landline calls are providing good quality sound and connection. And the phone works without having to leave a computer on and whatnot.

Sorry but I didn't find a topic talking about if Linksys PAP-2T internet phone adapter works with skype ?

Please help to find any information about that 

thanks
