    Hi all,

    Anyone recommend where to buy a WIFI (802.11) voip phone for use with skype? I'm based in Dublin and have tried the usual suspects Peats, Maplin, Komplett. They all have USB .

    marxcomputers have one for 200euro. Just looking to get a few other shops/prices

    thank you

    Do you want this phone to have a Wireless USB dongle attached to a PC or to be directly connected to your wireless router?

    for the USB version using a PC you have the Linksys CIT200 Skype phone type phone. Ebay has plenty of these type of phones.

    you if you want to connect to your wireless router directly Netgear have one, though i'm unsure if it is released yet

    Theres vonage phones but as usual due to infastructure and comregs wonderfull policies you cant get an irish number. Closest i can think of.

    Either that or sip phones with blueface. The VOIP forum would be able to point you in the right direction.

    Funny, Vonage are perfectly willing to charge you for an irish number (a tenner per month!)

    The VoIP market in the US seems a bit crazy from a european point of view.

    Theres another one announced today by Logitech for use with Skype, it does require a PC connection as well though.

    You could install SKYPE on a Pocket Pc with a wireless interface. :)

    These are quite new, Linksys and I think Logitech sell them but around 150-200 euros. Wait another few months until the prices drop.
