Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This item worked out of the box
Before buying I read all the reviews, and on other sites too. I was nervous about this solution since I had attempted another Skype wifi product some years ago, namely the CIT 200.

The DHP-50U allowed me to use my existing cordless phone network which kept the expenses down while keeping my household happy, since their learning and comfort zones were not challenged. Sure, it is not the same as a traditional AT&T/Bell dial tone phone.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works as Advertised
We recently dropped Vonage and moved to Skype because $60 a year (for SkypeOut and a phone number) is a lot cheaper than $24.99/month. You connect this device to your computer via USB and then you plug your regular phone into the device. I recommend you use a cordless phone with multiple handsets.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Only works with a Windows OS
FYI - this device only works with computers running Windows software. If you run Linux - well, move along...nothing to see here...

Note: I own and use other D-Link hardware. This was disappointing because it is not made clear that Windows is a requirement.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Piece of Junk (to stay polite)
This thing crashed my computer three times (blue screen of death), not even worth returning or trying to get my money back. In the trash!
