Google Skype Phone In India

Great Google Skype phone will help the users to put a control on the rising international phone bills. All that is required for using this phone is a wireless router which can be installed at home as well as in office. Once the phone detects a Wi-Fi environment, it automatically logs into the user’s Skype account. Once the user logs in, you have to dial the Skype number or the mobile number of the person whom you want to talk to. The person can be in India or in any destination outside India. Calls rates are as cheap as Rs 1 per minute via Skype to other mobile phones overseas. But it is better to avoid making ISD calls from this phone as it is expensive when compared to the calls from other services. But if you have friends who are always logged in on Skype, the phone can be of excellent use. The scarceness of Wi-Fi zones in India, but, does pose a handicap. When compared with the Skype phone, GSM Wi-Fi phones can log on to Skype from anywhere. But the drawback of GSM phones is that a Skype call will get disconnected once a GSM call is received. The voice clarity is, but, much higher in the Skype phone. The drawback for the phone is its inability to work on other VoIP platforms and its low battery power. Even though the company claims a talk time of two hours and a standby time of 30 hours, the battery gets discharged earlier. The landline Belkin Skype phone comes in India for Rs 7,300 where as the cordless Skype phone that is much handier costs you, Rs 9,712. The phone is a good choice for those people who wish to merge the comfort of mobile phones and VoIP phone. So, if you have to conduct a business meeting, over ISD, you can choose a mobile VoIP phone. With touch and feel of a regular mobile phone, this phone can be handled by the elderly people also in an easier way.
