Enabling low-cost calling via a landline phone is the newly introduced Freetalk Connect.Me home phone adapter for Skype. Members of the video-calling website residing in USA and Canada can now make free Skype-to-Skype as well as cost-efficient calls to landlines and mobile phones all over the world.
The Freetalk Connect.Me allows members to enjoy video conversations and can be used with the iPhone, Android smartphones as well as any of the Skype-enabled HDTVs. They can also receive Skype to Skype calls from other users of the service on their landline phones via this new device. Requiring a PC for the initial set up, it is capable of storing up to 100 speed dials/Skype contacts. All that the members need are all a broadband Internet connection and a home phone.
After the adapter has been set up, users don’t have to turn on their computers to connect with loved ones through Skype. The device offers them the option of making a call from their traditional landline as well. Besides this adapter, Skype has also declared the availability of a new cordless certified phone called the GE digital cordless expandable telephone. Users of this new handset are enabled to connect with their international Skype contacts for free, make affordable calls to mobiles and landlines and manage their contacts sans a PC.
Along with these two products, Skype has also revealed a collection of cost efficient bundles for both devices that users can choose from according to their calling needs. Bundles with international and Unlimited World subscriptions let them make calls to more than forty countries including Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Spain and Argentina and Puerto Rico among others.
The Freetalk Connect.Me home phone adapter for Skype is priced at $39.99 and the GE digital cordless expandable telephone can be bought for a price of $69.99. They are now available online at the Skype Shop, eBuyNow and various authorized global retailers and e-tailers.
