Philips VoIP841 - Combined Land Line and Skype Cordless Phone

VOIP841 is the first DECT cordless phone with Skype that works without a PC, offering consumers total flexibility and independence from the PC. A full colour graphic display and outstanding sound clarity brings the emotion back to calls.

As your dual phone is connected to both the standard PSTN line AND to the Internet line, you can make or receive landline and Internet calls on the same handset.

Handsfree mode uses a built-in loudspeaker to amplify the voice of the caller, allowing you to speak and listen during a call without holding the phone to your ear. This is especially useful if you want to share the call with others or take notes during a call.
