Hey Damon. I do have and use a skype phone. It's very good. Not only that it's a skype phone, but it's also a lnormal line phone, so you can use both skype and landline with it. It does install it's own software,. which is not very hard to install. I know that there are several of those phones on the market, but this is the only one, as far as i know, that uses both skype and normal telephone line. I sure don't have any access issues with it. Sure I can't use some of it's features like sellecting names from contact list, but most things you can do through PC via skype. To find out more about the phone you can go to http://dualphone.net/default.aspx?ID=31 I had no problems with the phone, the only problem I had is when the phone was first plugged in, because it's a USB dvice windows regarded phone as a soundcard, so no sound was coming through the PC. Apart from that I definitely like this phone and would recommend it.

What I want to know is .... are all VOIP phones plug and play? That is to say, do you need to install loads of drivers on your PC? Any tips on VOIP phones to buy if you're visually impaired? I know nothing. Are there any access issues or phones / features to avoid or indeed phones / features I should look for? Thanks v much. ...Damon damon.rose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx skype: damonrose London, England.
