Customer Reviews

Tine Said: Skype cordless Phone ( Aug. 31st 2010 )

I have been using the Skype/ Netgear SPH150D for over four years, It has some minor problems once in a while, but generally very happy with it.

George E. Creel Said: Better ways to do it... ( Aug. 19th 2010 )

I purchased this several years ago so I could use Skype for my home phone service. Back when I purchased it, the technology was just too primitive and I wound up throwing it away and getting phone service from my cable supplier. It was hard to use, some of which might be my fault, I admit.

IMO, the technologies have just run by this item.

Cara E Said: No problem! ( Aug. 24th 2008 )

I've owned the Netgear sph200d and the spare handset for less than a month, however, it works flawlessly with my SKYPE account. I use this phone as a replacement for a landline. The VOIP service call quality is superior to the QWEST landline that I used to have. The setup for the base station was simply to plug it into the router. I had no issues with the handsets, including the extra one. The documentation was poor for registering the additional handset. It came up as unregistered, and then would not complete the registration with the base. After visiting the netgear website, I had to hold down the power button on the base for 15 seconds, and the registration was successful. I chose this phone over the phillips 841 because of the availability of additional handsets. I would recommend reading the user guide prior to purchase. I got a great deal at Frys for the base unit and handset. I would definitely recommend this model if you want to use your skype account without the computer.

Mr. S. Kotsonis Said: Easy installation, low prices and perfect sound ( Aug. 9th 2008 )

I have been using it for 2 weeks now, and I am very happy with how everything went. Overall easy installation and use. I just wish they would specify the headset plug size, some say 2.5 mm and others 3.5 mm. I'll have to find out by buying & trying.
Oh, and the sound quality is fantastic, and you can't beat unlimited calls to the countries I need for either free ($9.95/month) or $0.02 per minute

Mendo Said: Netgear SPH200D and SPH150D after a year of use ( Jun. 30th 2008 )

I've used the Netgear SPH200D (base station and phone) and an additional
phone (SPH150D) for about a year. Basically the device implements Skype and throws in, as an extra, the possibility of ordinary telephone landline service. The Netgear interface is a cleverly stripped down version of Skype on a computer. The documentation got me started; trial and error taught more.

I use the Netgear for pure Skype calls and, in conjunction with a Skypeout subscription ($3 per month), to call any phone in the US or Canada at no additional cost. I've put frequently called phone numbers on my Skype Contacts list--the Netgear knows to use Skype for these calls. Skype sound quality has improved considerably in the course of the year. After I assigned the Netgear base station a static IP address on my network (rather than the default DHCP), the phone connected faster to Skype servers. A static IP address is handy for access to the device's webpage, to check configuration and update firmware.

It took me a while to discover the more advanced features of the Netgear. Though the device is pleasing, I give it only 4 stars because the documentation is less than clear, even about basic setup. For instance, "press" on the base station may mean "press and hold". To Netgear's credit, the techncial support rep I eventually reached was well-informed.
