 Nice bit of kit. August 31, 2008

This is a good product, and the wireless technology makes it well worth the upgrade from the corded version. Simple to install, all very hassle-free. It uploads your skype contacts onto the handset, and the address book will even flag up those that are on or off-line.
Audio quality is not perfect, but is considerably clearer than a conventional phone-line, so also a thumbs-up in this regard.
Verdict: a good functional product, reasonably priced for its features, and does what it says on the tin.
Fantastic phone May 15, 2008

I was after a decent Skype for a while so I decided to give this phone a go. It looked good and the item description seemed to be quite convincing. The product received was exactly what I needed. It looks cool, is very easy to install (works fine with my Vista and my sister's XP) and when I use it it's just like calling from my home cordless phone. What is more, the voice quality on Skype and Voipcheap is great (I've tried the phone with both - the phone comes with the Skype driver on CD but when I contacted Premier-express they emailed me the link to other drivers). But what I like most is that you can talk away from your computer and all your Skype contacts currently on-line are displayed on the handset's screen. All in all, absolutely fantastic item - highly recommended to all.

Sogatel - Skype compatible USB cordless internet phone - Vista and XP
Some reviews say this is a problem with Vista - I have Vista and installed it so easily. No problem. Although it's Skype compatible I use mainly Voipcheap and one review mentioned you need a separate download to be compatible. I had no problem whatsoever, it works with both Voipcheap and Skype. Phone quality is excellent, as good speaking to Australia as the UK. A nice handset, works well in any room in the house well away from my PC. For the price this is a great phone.
User Friendly and Reasonable Price October 19, 2008

Installation was really simple. The software user interface simply auto-runs whenever the computer is booted and allows you to alter the volume settings for both the microphone and the speaker. Easy to use the handset, to access your Skype phonebook, call history and to give and receive calls.
Reception has sometimes been a bit of an issue. Maybe around 10% of the time it has been a little 'choppy' when using it in a different room to the receiver.
Build quality of the whole unit is pretty good and the outer shell of the handset is very rugged, however, the LCD display sometimes displays groups of pixels that it shouldn't, but it doesn't cause a problem, just cancelling the screen can return it to how it should be.
Value for money.. Having read the review of other wireless Skype compatible phones in the same price range, this one seems to have less to fault and costs less too. As with all cheap wireless technology, there are many things that could go wrong compared to a wireless handset. But if this is your budget and you would prefer a wireless one I would choose this one over the others.

I bought this phone to operate from my laptop via a wireless network. I had problems making it work and I'm assuming the reason is the wireless phone was interfering with the wireless network. I could not use my internet browser with it plugged into the USB point and this problem was resolved as soon as I unplugged it. I managed to connect a call once with it plugged in. I'm going to get a wired VOIP phone and hope that works.
