to bad no one at the support number knows what skype is
As a computer technician I have installed the software and set everything up and my phone says I am connected to skype (all though it can not read my contacts, I am told you have to manually enter them). I can not call out or receive calls even though it says I am on line and I am able to do it from the computer. I have been on line with support for over 4 hours now. Each time getting transferred to a new person, now I have the supervisor on the phone who like the last 8 people have no idea w...

pathetic sound quality
I have not used this phone for SKYPE yet, but as a land line phone it is pratically worthless. The sound quality is so bad you can't understand what the person on the other end is saying. Do not buy this phone, at least not if you ever wanted to use it as a land line phone.

Almost made it
The dual phone-land line and Skype- does work...almost. The audio/voice quality is poor. The volume will sometimes be too loud, then moving the volume down, makes it too quiet...sometimes, almost like if the caller's voice volume does not trip the VOX type circuit, it won't amplify the sound so it is either loud or you can't hear...weird...this is on both handsets. The audio is also raspy and not clear. The size is almost too small. My wife puts it to her ear and covers up the ear piece sound e...

Bad sound quility or no sound
1.When used with the land line I get a lot of hissing and the voice on the other end is very choppy.
2.When used with skype the voice on the other end is very quite and cackly and they can't hear me at all.
I'm very disappointed because I though this would be a good solution for me, especially after reading the review this phone received from PC magazines and editors choice aware.
I will be returning this phone. I would like to find something that works well with a land ...

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE
I purchased mine with a good price. It seemed to install fine, but it does not work with Skype, i do not care what anyone tells me, it is worthless.
A. The manual does not tell you how to get the sound to come through the phone.
B. It hangs up on Skype at random within 2 feet of the base.
C. You use the phone and then Skype on the computer goes off, and the person talks from the computer and you cant here them on the phone, or talk to them.
D. Tech states to set sound to USB...

Not ready for prime time
I too was very disappointed with this phone. A phone is an audio device primarily. In this respect, this phone flunks. It's the worst audio I've heard in years. And it has nothing to do with skype which sounds great if I use it thru my computer or I conference in with my landline. It also has nothing to do with the small size of the phone. Even when I wore a good quality headset, it was still terrible. The quality is so tinny, I can barely understand the other speaker. They also complain...

Nevermind the terrible reviews, this phone actually works!
Not sure why so many people are reporting bad experiences (technical ineptitude, incorrect computer/system setup, unreasonable expectations, or working for the competitors?), but after wasting $140 for an IPEVO s0-20 (inc. $10 S&H), and then paying another $7 on postage to RMA it, I truly appreciate the GE phone. BTW: the IPEVO phone is supposed to be the best of all WiFi Skype phones; read my review under IPEVO s0-20 to see why it's not...
A few years ago, I would have never bought ...

Skype feature is worth the money
This phone's success with Skype is largely dependent on you PC's internet speed. High-speed cable or DSL is preferable for best quality. I use it all day, everyday and it is a great alternative to traditional landlines or cell phones in the home or office. I would like a better menu system, but for making phone calls, I can't complain.

Thank you, thank you
I was all ready to by this GE Skype phone. Thank you so much to all who took the time to write a review. This product is obviously a piece of junk and you have saved me untold agrivation, heart burn, and the heartbreak of psoriasis.
