Buy: RTX Dualphone 3088 Wireless Skype Phone on eBay…
Skype has now been in use for several years and as the trend grew and the bugs were worked out, it became a viable option for regular phone service. I am always ready to try out anything new the arena of technology and so I was very excited to see a handset come out that could connect to Skype without the computer. Not that that is a big problem for me, since my computer is always on anyway, but I did want to see how the handset would work. Since I was so pleased with the unit I bought, the RTX DUALphone 3088, I have never had to use another model or brand.
The DUALphone 3088 is so named because it doubles as both a Skype enabled phone and a regular landline. The base module connects directly to your router via an ethernet cable and your landline has its own connection in the base as well. I have heard some complaints about how the DUALphone looks, but to my eyes, it is sleek and modern. The black design with a little Skype blue is aesthetically pleasing.
The handset is comfortable and functional. The full color screen is bright and easy to read. It provides contact information as well as photos. The buttons of the handset are durable and lasting. All-in-all it is a very simple phone to use.
On first use, after charging the batteries that provide 10 hours of talk time, and connecting the lines, you have to enter your Skype account information, your country code, and your area code. After you enter your password, there is the option to store the username and password, or for security, enter it anew with every use.
Once connected, your account balance and contacts will be displayed on the handset. It will also automatically update your master account should you add or delete any contacts. In use there are three options on how to make calls. There are settings to make calls always by the landline, always by Skype, or to ask each time.
Call quality was always exceptionally good. Of course, this is mostly base on your internet connection. Since I've not had any problems with my high-speed cable connection, I've always had extremely high quality audio. In most cases it is better than my cell phone and regular landline.
The biggest drawbacks of the DUALphone 3088 is that it only provides support for voice. There is no chat, nor is there any video on this device. Personally I like to use a combination of all three, so my computer setup was never a problem, unless I was on an important or long call with friends and needed to roam around my apartment.
I would recommend this first generation Skype phone only if you are comfortable with only audio features. The best part of the Dualphone 3088 is the price. When it was new, it ran $160.00. I believe it was even more at introduction. Now, however, you can buy this unit online at such sites as www.newegg.com for only about $60.00. For this money it is well worth the price.
