With Voice over IP (VoIP) being such an omnipresent force in modern communication technology, more and more people are switching from exclusive use of landlines and cell phones to VoIP services like Skype. In years past, Skype users were mostly geeky types (myself included) who were comfortable using a headset and boom microphone tethered to a computer. A high percentage of those now migrating to Skype are accustomed to standard telephones, whether corded or cordless, and they need the sense of security and normalcy that a familiar handset provides. Enter the Skype DUALphone 3088 manufactured by RTX Products A/S – the first phone that doesn't require a computer for use on the Skype network.
