Please log in for more thread options Hi A friend of mine would like to use VoIP applications like Skype or X-Lite without being stuck in front of her computer. She wants something that would let her get further than the Bluetooth solutions typically alow (typically 6-10 feet, which is not far enough). Anybody knows of a solution? Some kind of DECT-based USB key? Thank you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

So you got a H500 and the PC850 USB add-on to use Skype wirelessly? http://direct.motorola.com/ens/bluetooth/data.html | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There are some Skype enabled DECT phones, Olympia is one make I recall. If she has got a router with ethernet port then an SIP based VoIP is better solution. Just get an ATA and any DECT phone, and it will work without the computer being on or even connected. Regards, Martin | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Motorola's ear-plug + USB combo at $99, but it's probably more
RJ11 -> DECT headset. Looks like an interesting alternative to expensive too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
