    Skype Call Quality

    Anyone on here use Skype a lot for calling -

    Current home phone is £60 a month and that can be reduced to £10 with one of their subscriptions

    I ve tried Skype before and was disspointed with their call quality - Whats it like for you?

    Call quality's always been excellent to landlines, I call the US frequently. It's gets poor sometimes with Skype to Skype calls when the other party has a crappy built-in webcam / mic on a laptop.

      Thanks cliphead

      Is there any way we can use our existing cordless phones to use Skype or do we need to shell out for new skype cordless phones

        I think you need a dual DECT phone to do that. I have a dedicated handset that's getting a bit old so might go for the dual option.

          I've used Skype as my main means of comunication between me and my business partners for a few years now. It works well and the call quality is fine too.

          At home we have a US Robotics phone set that is a few years old, and needs a PC to be on to work. It does the job but is no where near as easy as just dialing through Skype itself. Newer versions are probably better.
