Review summary: - We've said it before and we will say it again, Skype is great, but the need to sit in front of your computer to make a call can be frustrating and too geeky for some.

Pros: No PC required, easy to set up, holds Skype contact book

Cons: Handset looks cheap, no answer machine, need to have the phone near your network router

Verdict: A great handset let down by the lack of answering machine and a cheapish look

Verdict: We take a look at three of the best VoIP phones that also aim to replace your landline handset.

Review summary: 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...

Pros: Great call quality ; supports Skype & landlines ; good cordless range ; rechargeable batteries

Cons: Not pretty to look at ; website and support forums lacking ; somewhat expensive

Review summary: The inch-thick manual and countless cables had us worried at first, but Olympia's DUALphone turns out to be a pretty useful little gadget.

Pros: Versatile handset that works as both a Skype phone and an ordinary cordless phone for your landline

Cons: Expensive, no answerphone means it can't take messages from landline calls

Verdict: It's dead handy €" especially for self-employed or small business users, as it saves you having to sit with two handsets on your desk while you're working. It's just a shame that it doesn't include a built-in answerphone.
