Does my PHIP65 work when my computer is switched off?
The PHIP65 is a dual mode phone that works with both VoIP and your
traditional land phone line. So even if your computer is off, the regular
phone line will still work but the Skype or VoIP services will not. However, if
you leave your computer in hibernate mode with Skype running in the
background, then the phone will still be completely functional.
What happens to calls that I receive if I don’t have my Internet on?
Even if your internet is not working or if it is not on, you can still get regular
land line calls—you just can’t make or receive Skype calls. If you have
Skype Voicemail service, you will be able to check your voicemail as soon as
Skype regains an internet connection.
Will I be able to tell that I’m calling with VoIP instead of a regular
phone?
The way you make a regular land line call and a Skype call is different, so
yes, you will be able to tell whether you are making a Skype call or a regular
land line call depending on how you make the call.
What is the call quality using this phone?
The call quality when making either regular land line calls or Skype calls is
excellent.
How does the call waiting work? What if I’m on a regular land line call
and someone from Skype calls. Can I still answer?
This is one of the great features of this phone. Call waiting works not only
with incoming land line calls while on a land line call, but also with incoming
Skype calls, and vice versa. The PHIP65 truly makes it easy to merge the
best of both worlds.
Will I be able to receive a Skype call if I’m talking through the regular
land line and vice versa?
Yes. You will always receive either type of call as long as both are
connected properly.
What is DECT technology and why is it better?
Phones that use DECT technology eliminate interference that occurs between
phones. Ever wondered why you could sometimes hear someone else on
your phone, or why there is weird music playing in the background? It is
because of interference. Phones that use DECT eliminate any type of
interference, making your calls more clear.
