Coolest product to use with skype!Feb 12, 2006
By poojyam "poojyam"
This is a must have, if you like skype. I never liked the pc calls in the early days due to the voice drops and the choppy sounds. But ever since skype came on to the scene, it has been a great experience. The voice quality is unbelievable. I have my folks from India calling me (I am located in US) from their PC using skype. Best of all it is free for me, as the internet connectivity is broadband for both my parents and me, so we can talk for ever without any per minute charges to the telecommunication company.

One issue with skype was that I am kind of tethered to the PC.
Well, not any more. With the vosky call center, I am no where near my PC. Infact I use skype from my mobile phone these days.
(see it is free after night and weekends for both incoming and outgoing calls). You might be thinking I have some of those fancy paid skype services such as skypein and skype out. Well No, nada. What makes it possible is this little product.
The setup is fairly simple. It has just three outlets. The telephone line goes to one of them. The other outlet connects to the telephone. The third one is a USB port which goes to the PC (with windows xp). I keep the PC always on with skype connected with my account. Now, I have setup all my family and friends with speed dialing numbers such as 1, 2 etc. Now all I have to call them from my regular phone is ##1.
Also dialing ## takes me to this vosky call center exchange. I can call any of my contacts with the preset speed dial numbers I have setup. Also, I can call from my mobile phone to my home phone number and access my callcenter(like those answering systems - password protected). Another cool feature is that I can put a wakeup call on any phones, whenever my contacts become online. So I do not have to setup a ren de vouz with my parents for a prearranged time for the PC calls. All they have to do is call my skype account, and my regular phone will ring. Also, from my phone, I can call my skype contact, and if they are offline, it gives me an option to
altert me when they become on line. So as soon as my parents sign in, I get alerted on my phone(or mobile).

Also, my PC has VPN, skype and call center software works in both mode. So thats is great too. Also, when the PC is off, my regular phone works as before.

Also you have the option to setup an answering system, which will route all calls to your PC as audio files.

Do not waste time buying USB phone/mic/speakers etc, when you can use your regular phone, anywhere, anytime.
I will post some pictures of my setup on www.emindshop.com

This box is amazing. Make skype like your home phone and more.Oct 14, 2006
By J. Sundquist
I have now purchased four of these for everyone in my family. I have two installed in Europe and two installed here in the USA.

The basic functionality is that it lets you use your home phone to talk on skype. When you get a skype call, your home phone rings. It works simultaneously with a land line as well. You can have skype and your land line connected at the same time. When you get a skype call your phone will ring differently than when a landline call comes in. It also acts like call waiting. If you're on a skype call and you get a regular call, you'll hear beeps just like call waiting and can flip between the two calls. It works with answering machines too. Incoming calls will ring the same number of times as your landline calls and your answering machine will pick up and they can leave a message just like a regular call.

The advanced features are amazing. You can setup the Call Center for skype call forwarding. I have mine set to ring 4 times and if I don't pick up at home, it will use my landline to call my cellphone and connect the skype call. I no longer worry about being at home to take a skype call.

The next cool feature is using the Call Center to allow you to make skype calls from any phone on the planet. With this feature enabled, the Call Center will answer your landline phone after a certain number of rings. It can make your PC act like an answering machine. When the greeting comes on, you can type in a secret pin code on the phone and it will then let you dial a skype call and connect you. Picture this: you're at work and have urgent news for your family in another country. Instead of making an international call or going home to make the call, you dial your home phone. The Call Center answering machine on your PC picks up. You punch in your pin and dial your skype speed dial number for your family and the call center connects you. You are now making an international phone call even though you're only paying for the call to your house.

When you receive skype calls at home, the skype ID of the person calling will show up on your home phone caller ID.

Setup is simple.

1) Install Skype and set it up on your pc
2) Install the software on the CD that came with the Call Center
3) Setup advanced Call Center features on your pc if you want to (it's optional).
4) Connect the Call Center USB cable to your computer
5) Connect your home phone to the Call Center
6) (optional) Connect your landline phone wire to the call Center

That's it. You're now in business.

Using this box has really improved my life! My parents in europe are not computer savvy and would have NEVER used skype regularly as it is complicated and confusing to them. Now if they want to talk to me, they just pick up the phone and dial ##1. If I want to call them, their phone rings just like normal.

Also, I am using a Cable Modem phone line (voice over IP) from my cable company and the Call Center works just great. I read some places saying it may not work well, but it does.

Works as it should.Jun 30, 2006
By chidduck
I bought two of these. They work great, in order to switch from the landline to the Vosky you have to press ## and then in order to type in a phone number you press 00+Country Code+Area
Code+Local Phone Number. It has worked flawlessly for me ever since I installed it. I use it with Skype 2.5 and it works perfectly. Make sure you install the drivers first before plugging the unit in, and don't get the two phone cables on the back of the unit mixed up as I did (if you are also using a landline, not required). You can only use the advanced features like call forwarding if you have an installed landline, otherwise its only good for using it with SkypeOut and recieving calls from Skype or SkypeIn if you subscribe to that service. If a Skype contact calls it shows their name on the caller id screen of your phone (if you have caller id on your phone). I can't recommend getting rid of your landline as tempting as it may be, because Skype does not support E911.

This thing is saving me lots of money, and it has already paid for itself.

innovative product...still need some improvementMar 08, 2006
By Skypert
It isi one good product. It answers my need with the call forwarding feature. It does it amazingly well. The voice quality is great; there is no problem with call dropping. I am quite happy with it.

My peers can call me from overseas with the Skypes service. The call is forwarded to my cell.

I wish Vosky had worked harder on the feature list. For instance, the pre-entered forwarded phone number can only be changed when you are in front of the computer connected to the Vosky. Why can't that number be changed remotely?

When you call a contact, there is only one option is available: call return by pressing 1. Why can't there be more features added to the firmware to handle addional tasks?

Bottom line, it is a really good device, worksk seamlessly. The build quality is good though it looks cheapy (the plastic). Forget the manual, very limited...though you don't really need it. Works right out of the box, say...20 minutes! Good luck

Injects annoying touch tones during calls. Forgets settings on reboot of PC.Mar 04, 2008
By J. W. Lindelien
When my wife speaks during calls, the harmonics of her voice, for some reason, triggers the nearest touch tone to be auto-generated and injected into the call by some circuit in the Vosky box, causing the people we talk to to believe we are recording calls. This is very annoying and distracting! My voice does not match a touch tone and does not trigger this odd behavior. The device's software should allow the user to turn off this "feature".

Also, when I reboot my PC, I must reset Skype's audio settings each time, to use Vosky's USB device vs. the PC's audio ports. The other USB device I've used with Skype does not have this problem, and I must assume it is another bug in Vosky's implementation.
