another great feature of this phone is that you can plug in your landline connection to it to make emergency 911 calls even if you dont have a plan together, they cost me about 90 dollars A YEAR. i'm definitely impressed with this phone, but even more so with the skype service. i have a one year skype in number and a one year skype out subscription. its a really great way to save.
The Linksys CIT400 iPhone is now available as the Netgear SPH200D. I have also a income phone number sold by skype and the quality of calls are amazing. It has been save me a lot of money in local and international calls. The good news is that the same phone is now been sold by Netgear without the iPhone trademark. I have been use this Voip phone for more than 1 year. I love this phone. According with some informations this phone is already discontinued from linksys.
The phone works well and I am very satisfied.However, this Amazon third-party merchant, "Toyzz", is just ripping you off at this outrageous price of $329.99. the real Amazon. and shame on Amazon for allowing their customers to be exposed to this type of nonsense. I bought the CIT400 just a few months ago from Amazon.com for $79. I'm talking Amazon.com prime. What a joke.Do not buy from price gougers like "Toyzz".
Now that Linksys has discontinued it, you can only find it above 200$, and that is outrageous.Last week I needed to buy a second one for my parents and I got lucky: for a few hours, it was available again directly through Amazon for around 120$ with free shipping. I bought this Skype wireless phone in may 2008, and at the time I paid 90$ for it on Amazon (with free shipping). My patience paid off.As for the phone itself, I am very satisfied with the call quality (about the same as when running Skype on a computer).The only minor glitches I found are: sometimes the clock resets itself without any reason and needs to be manually adjusted (automatic syncing over the internet would be nice); entering long user-names or passwords with the alpha-numeric keyboard can be fastidious, especially given the fact that logging-in is required after a power outage (of more than just a few minutes); check your privacy settings frequently, because this phone tends to reset to allowing all incoming Skype calls rather than, say, just those originating from your contacts.One more caveat: if you plan to use this unit abroad, be advised that the power supply is 120V/60Hz only.
I would recommend this phone with out hesitation. This product has made calling as seamless as using a traditional wireless phone. I am happy that I found this product. I have been shying away from Skype because I did not want to be tethered to the computer while I make calls. The call quality and feel of the phone is great.
