this guy selling it on ebay seems to be linking to a skype to sip pdf from skype.com in the product description. So that is probably how it links up.
http://cgi.ebay.com/VoIP-Skype-IP-Desktop-Internet-Network-LAN-SIP-Phone-/320554163202
Ahhh, so it does support SIP according to the eBay listing. (how they neglected to mention SIP in the specs on the store pages is beyond me)
Yeah, the eBay listing says it refers to Skype for SIP. Well, that doesn't make this a Skype phone any more than my desktop SIP phone is a Skype phone. Pretty lame to call it a Skype phone. But it does support SIP, and for that reason this does become an intriguing phone. Most decent SIP phones are >$150, so for this to be this cheap is pretty amazing.
I may have to take a gamble and check out this phone. :)
That's cool,But why they are giving at such nominal rate is the sales of the product is not good or this is some promotional sort of thing??,,,i remeber one of my friend purchased it at $60.
How does your friend like it? How's the voice quality? Does he/she like the digital answering machine feature. Kind of unique for a SIP phone. See if you can get his/her insights. Much appreciated!
It neither supports Skype nor SIP. H.323 only. So it is not really useful. You can use it as a regular desktop phone on a POTS line, but no CID support. And to dial out you need to dial *0 prefix. No speaker phone!
I bought it from Geeks.com via buy.com. When I called and pointed out that the description on buy.com was misleading, they ask me want a refund or store credit. They don't even want the item back!
Hi.
Having Voip Phone is not everything you need to receive or make a call for that you need good voip phone service. So,I want to introduce you to a phone service that some customers are currently using for free. It's called DVoice.It is a leading edge technology that will change the way we communicate forever. Another benefit of using DVoice is portability. DVoice gives you the freedom to move your phone line anywhere, anytime you want. You can receive phone service anywhere in the world, all you need is high speed Internet access. Check for that soft phone link
Thanks.
I hope you will like Dvoice voip phone service

Never pay for telephone services again!
I forgot to tell You about DVoice Referral Program.
For every customer you refer to DVoice a month reoccurring credit will be applied to your account. When your monthly credits are equal to your month telephone bill your service is FREE! If your monthly reoccurring credit exceeds your monthly bill, DVoice will write you a check for the additional credits!
Thanks to Dvoce Referral Program my phone service is free now.
See this link How I did it.

I got three phones from geeks.com and they are clueless.
they told me to ask my provider and I said the provider will not bother helping hundreds of customers on every single ip phone there is. it says so on their web site.
I told them I would keep them if they told me what phone provider offers service for this phone.they do not have time to play with the phone so they offer a refund.it seems they hope to sell them and do not care if you really can use them.after many hours of trying I could only make peer to peer calls on my lan network with two of these phones but I wanted them to work on the internet like the add claims they do.do not buy repeat do not buy.I told them about the bad review on phone and the geeks web site was mentioned.
Can anyone recommend a Skype / sip phone compatible w/Puppy or Xubuntu?
Dvoice is 240.00 a year, Magic Jack 20.00. {50.00 first year w/device}
It works fine on Win2000 so I run it on a dedicated P3 I got out of the trash. If someone makes a Linux device/service comparable I will switch.
