Firebox VoIP Skype phone
As written in a previous post, there’s a few solutions to using Skype for VoIP services that enable you to use a “real” phone. The latest attempt, and seemingly quite good, is the Firebox VoIP Cyberphone which can be yours for thirty pounds. Nice design, and looks good to use. The only disadvantages are that you still need a computer switched on for it to be plugged in to via USB – no plugging it straight into your router – and there’s no mac support which is very disappointing.
