Two-in-One Conveinence - Cordless Skype and Landline Calling

From personal calls to business conferences to virtual meetings, Skype stepped into the connectivity go-to role and changed the way people communicate with one another across the country and around the world.

But while Skype seems to do it all in terms of digital communications, many families don’t want to let go of their landline and completely plunge into the Internet era just yet. Instead of trying to replace the traditional comforts of a landline phone, Skype found a way to combine its services within a cordless, digital telephone in order to give consumers the option of having the best of both worlds.

With both Skype calling and basic landline functioning, this cordless device balances a host of technology needs. The GE 31591 model supports 100 Skype contacts and up to 200 contacts from your local phonebook. The base simply plugs into a telephone jack and also connects through your Internet provider. This duo-connection allows for communication with friends and family via their Skype accounts, mobile phones, or landlines.

The all-in-one Skype base supports up to five handsets which last for 10 hours when fully charged. Skype also offers the option of bundling the cordless phone with Skype minutes in order to save money and create a plan that supports your needs.

As a Mom – searching endlessly for lost cordless phones and dealing with low batteries – creates a layer of unnecessary complication around calling family and friends. Thanks to Skype, staying in touch has never proved easier.
