Need a Skype phone - recommendations?

Question

Hey!

I need a recommendation for a Skype phone. I need it to be in the shape of a standard phone, but apart from that I don't want/need any extra features, just need it for Skype

Answer 1

There are two basic ways to do it:

1.

Using a USB Skype phone that runs from your PC:

Linksys:

2.

No PC - Using a Skype phone that plugs directly into your highspeed Internet Modem or Router:

There are a few other manufacturers that build similar Skype phones, too, but Linksys and D-Link are the biggest manufacturers in North America.

Hi. Just gone on skype myself.  Thought you could just use the internet and see the person you were talikng with. You just need a web cam and a sound box.  My friend got these from Tesco and it cost her about a fiver.
