What phone works with Skype when the computer is turned off? I am looking around for a phone to use with Skype. I Really don't want to spent 140 bucks for one. Can you use any VOIP phone or does it have to be skype? Also i wanted to know what phones I can use to were I don't have to have my pc on 24/7.

Use Jajah instead of Skype. Any phone works, including a landline. You
do need the web to start a call, but if you have a web-enabled
smartphone you should be able to use that.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Jajah, but if I needed an internet
phone, that's what I'd use.

I have been using GiZMO for about 6 months now - love it!. You do have to pay for some services, but its nice to have the knowledge that you are not being listened to or your private info is not given out. The only reason that Skype is worth having is because Opera uses it. Now, are you Opera's B-tch?

Vitamin:

Can you close this discussion. It has nothing to do with Wine.
