Cables4PC USB Skype VoIP to RJ11 Cordless Phone Adapter Review by Johan Payan Salcedo "charpays" (tampa, fl)

the manual does not show what line you have to hook up to the adaptor - it just saysd connect to a PSTN line I dont know what that is or where to find it no diagram or picture. then it says to connect to my phone, but does not say where and how.

When I plug in the USB to my PC my sound stops working on my computer. The software instalation instructions are poor and they are in black and white so you really cant tell what is what.

Whe I install the CD none of the drivers work and the software is not automatically installed you have to search for it and install it. There is no explanation of how this software works with skype or even how to use it. No explanation of settings or how to configure them. One example is to choose FSk or DTMF for a caller ID settings, but does not tell you what it is.
In fact the whole instuction booklet is like this it tells you to choose between settings but does not explain whatthose settings are or what they do.

This product has made me very angry, I am not stupid at all I am a web designer and program developer and have tons of tech gadgets. this product sucks and am sending it back.

Cables4PC USB Skype VoIP to RJ11 Cordless Phone Adapter Review by Ruhil - The SWPilot "AZ Pilot and Photographer" (Phoenix,AZ USA)

I bought this device after spending many months of frustrating times with D-Link adapter and so far have not had any issues with the sound quality or dropped calls. Works best with our 4 handset cordless phone in the house. Skype lets you make $2.99 calls all US and Canada.

For those who can't figure out why Skype is not dialing from the regular phone here is a quick note on what I have found after an evening of trouble shooting.

Using the USB-B2K adapter and a home cordless phone set with Windows 7 and SkypeMate, I was finally able to get the phone to dial out.

The key seems to be that: You cannot use the compact version of the Skype Window AND the keypad must be displayed. With that combination the phone would dial out using the format of: 1 555 555 5555 and then press talk on the phone.

However, the issue is...after you complete the call the Add contact window comes up and replaces the dial pad (even though under the view settings the dial pad is selected) after that you cannot dial another number until you reset the window on skype.

I went on the web and found a 3.8 version of Skype and installed it on my Netbook with XP and installed Skypemate and hooked up the USB-B2K and was making calls in about 15 mins.

The issue seems to be the 4.x version of Skype and the way it handles the dial pad.
