Internet and VOIP phones

NETGEAR announced increased shipments of the NETGEAR WiFi Phone for Skype™ (SPH101) to Singapore to meet popular demand. NETGEAR’s SPH101 is the first publicly announced device certified to make Skype WiFi Internet calling a reality for the more than 113 million registered Skype users.

Vincent Low, NETGEAR’s Regional Director for Southeast Asia, said: “For many avid Skype users nationwide, our phone has become the ideal solution, and continues to grow in popularity through word of mouth. ‘Skypers’ are now able to take advantage of NETGEAR’s innovative wireless networking technology, and experience Skype in a truly mobile fashion, without a PC.”

NETGEAR’s WiFi Phone for Skype (SPH101) is the first publicly announced device to enable consumers to make unlimited free domestic and international calls to other Skype users over a wireless network without being tied to a computer. The WiFi phone will work anywhere in the world a user has a secured or open access to a WiFi network—in any home, office, or public hotspot that does not require browser-based authentication.

Pre-loaded with Skype software and ready out-of-the-box to use with a wireless network, the user experience remains similar as currently enjoyed by millions of Skype users, who talk for free with their friends using Skype, or pay only a few cents per minute to connect with mobile or landline phones. The phone’s intuitive on-screen menu — in clear, vibrant colours — shows saved Skype contacts and their online availability for easy communications, similar to the PC experience. Customers also enjoy an excellent sound quality without sacrificing talk time or stand-by time. Later this year, NETGEAR’s phone will also support multiple languages.
