A great Skype phone.......2007-10-29
I had a bit of a time finding a decent phone for use with my skype until I found this one. I keep my home phone to no long distance and of course cell phones only allow so many "anytime" minutes. I bought a year of skype and was very pleased with quality over a headset using the sound card through the computer but I did not desire to be tethered to the computer each time I needed to make a call. The first cordless skype phone I bought was horrendous (read my review of it also) and was becoming discouraged. I could not understand what is so complicated about getting decent quality from a cordless skype phone when you can so easily from a regular cordless phone.
I bought this phone not expecting much but still hopeful. I was pleasantly surprised. At first it was not the greatest as I kept getting drops in my calls that I never got using the sound card in the computer. I was using version 3.5 of the skype software and decided to try downgrading the software to 2.5. That was the trick, now this phone delivers great quality calls with no drops. This phone can also be used as a regular phone but I have not used or tried it that way as I am pleased with what I already have.
Using the 2.5 version of skype I say this phone is worth the money, and I almost forgot that it uses AAA rechargables (included) but if you need quick power you can put regular AAA in to make a call (just don"t forget to remove them before placing the phone back in the charging base.
You do need to have an AC outlet close for the base, I mention this since many are powered solely through the USB but this one is not.
I'm pleased with the quality I get from this phone and recommend to anyone looking for a good cordless skype phone.

the greatest.......2007-08-09
i think that this product is great, because were i work phones are limited and this helps me stay in touch with my family. so i guess you could say that i love my uip1868p phone.
Packet8 phone.......2007-01-18
I am completely happy with this phone, good sound quality, in base and remote. Very user friendly.
Right product - Wrong version.......2007-01-04
I cannot really rate this product because what I thought I was ordering was for Vonage and not for Packet 8 service.
I was rather peaved at Amazon because when I did a Google search for the model I thought I wanted, the UIP1868V and saw a link with a good price on the Amazon site, the UIP1868P came up. I did not realize that the phone also had a Packet 8 version because I did not know there was such a service.
The phone was shipped by Tiger Direct and to their credit, the took the phone back and gave me a full refund.
voip.......2006-11-06
GREAT PRODUCT. I REALLY LIKE IT ONCE GOT IT UP AND RUNNING. IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR A SIMPLE MINDED OLD MAN, BUT I MANAGED.
FLAWLESS PRODUCT & SERVICE.......2006-06-22
I've had this working in my home for about 6 months now and it works flawlessly. The setup is really easy - just plug it into your dsl/cable modem/router and the electric supply and that's all there is to it! Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Great value for money especially now with the rebate..

Customer Reviews:
pathetic sound quality.......2007-10-02
I have not used this phone for SKYPE yet, but as a land line phone it is pratically worthless. The sound quality is so bad you can't understand what the person on the other end is saying. Do not buy this phone, at least not if you ever wanted to use it as a land line phone.
Not ready for prime time.......2007-08-26
I too was very disappointed with this phone. A phone is an audio device primarily. In this respect, this phone flunks. It's the worst audio I've heard in years. And it has nothing to do with skype which sounds great if I use it thru my computer or I conference in with my landline. It also has nothing to do with the small size of the phone. Even when I wore a good quality headset, it was still terrible. The quality is so tinny, I can barely understand the other speaker. They also complain that my voice quality is terrible. It also tends to break up and crackle. You would think in this day and age, getting decent sound quality would be a no brainer.
I was also disappointed that when you make a skype call, the contacts brought in from the computer display only phone numbers and not the name you set up in skype on your computer. I'm calling people, not phone numbers!
Other than that, it is fine. Set up was fairly easy. I like the fact that you can bring the second handset into the conversation via the intercom function. Unfortunately, I may end up returning it because of the terrible sound quality.
to bad no one at the support number knows what skype is.......2007-03-29
As a computer technician I have installed the software and set everything up and my phone says I am connected to skype (all though it can not read my contacts, I am told you have to manually enter them). I can not call out or receive calls even though it says I am on line and I am able to do it from the computer. I have been on line with support for over 4 hours now. Each time getting transferred to a new person, now I have the supervisor on the phone who like the last 8 people have no idea what skype is or have ever used it. Like the last 8 people he is reading the troubleshooting tips out of the manual and wants to know if the phone is powered on and is my computer powered on. The last technician was unaware this product comes with a cd or any type of software and the phone still does not work so back it goes, no one should have to go through this. the supervisor I last person I spoke to "tells me there is no one here that has used this phone before, we are unable to help you. I would suggest you return it"
Bad sound quility or no sound.......2007-02-18
1.When used with the land line I get a lot of hissing and the voice on the other end is very choppy.
2.When used with skype the voice on the other end is very quite and cackly and they can't hear me at all.
I'm very disappointed because I though this would be a good solution for me, especially after reading the review this phone received from PC magazines and editors choice aware.
I will be returning this phone. I would like to find something that works well with a land line and skype.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.......2007-02-04
I purchased mine with a good price. It seemed to install fine, but it does not work with Skype, i do not care what anyone tells me, it is worthless.
A. The manual does not tell you how to get the sound to come through the phone.
B. It hangs up on Skype at random within 2 feet of the base.
C. You use the phone and then Skype on the computer goes off, and the person talks from the computer and you cant here them on the phone, or talk to them.
D. Tech states to set sound to USB, well that does not work, WinXP/Hone SP2 Win/XPpro SP2. IT will not work with USB period
E. When you can't use the phone no one will support you, and it will leave your Skype connected to your caller after you "End" call on hand set.
F. They lie about contacts, it puts the phone numbers in, and only skype accounts with not Skype in, will not show up. Only +15066608876 you will see in contacts. contacts on the menu is for your TELEPHONE NOT SKYP WORTHLESS
G. If you enter in your moms or friends number in the contacts area, it can't be dialed from skype.
H. You will not get a refund, try using it for fire wood, it will burn nice, just take out the battery.
THE PHONE IS JUNK!!! BUYER BEWARE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE!!!
YOU will have to leave your computer on 24/7 and not hibernate and wreck your computer to use.
GARBAGE, but what do you exspect from GE, they do not even have a tech support site, or knowledge base or a number you can call to resolve anything. NOt even a download site to fix the ALPHA SOFTWRE that it runs on
I am burned for $189.66 smackers!!! for a peice of garbage.
TRUST ME IT WILL NOT WORK, IF IT DOES YOU CANT HERE IT THROUGH THE STATIC!!!

8 AC Outlets / 1 Pair Coaxial / 1 Pair Phone Jack / Surge Protection
Amazon.com Product Description
The fact is, analog audio equipment is sensitive to a different type of noise than video, just as video is sensitive to a different type of noise than digital, and so on. In the past, manufacturers have used filters to combat the problem of noise introduced via power sources. Unfortunately, the filters were not optimized to attenuate at the different frequencies that are unique to digital, analog audio, and video realms. Products that managed to deliver truly cleaner AC power were thousands of dollars in price, out of reach for most people. Enter Head Monster Noel Lee. An uncompromising audiophile, Lee joined forces with Richard Marsh, the world's foremost expert on AC power, to develop affordable solutions to AC power problems. The result? Monster Clean Power.

Outstanding Value.......2007-10-03
This item is the EXACT same item Circuit City sells for $89. With the free shipping AND no sales tax, I saved big time for the exact same product. What's not to like.
Home Theatre Surge Protector.......2007-07-28
Just built a new home theatre and used this surge protector. Does exactly what it advertises allowing multiple components to be installed at one source point and provides surge protection and insurance for a bargin price.
power strip.......2007-07-27
works well as this is the 2nd one I purchased. Like all monster products they tend to be overpriced, however with exceptional quality
Monster Cable HTS800 Power Filter.......2007-05-22
Used this product for 1 month now. The construction of this unit looks better than the competition. Only time will tell if it actually is better. Like all Monster products, if it looks better and you feel better about it then that's all that counts.
Guess it's fine - as long as it protects my system.......2007-05-17
Can't tell any difference as far as a cleaner signal, but as long as my system is protected from surge that's all that really matters to me. I do wonder though if this really makes a difference over a regular surge protector at a fraction of the price.
No complaints, but also no noticeable signal improvement or cleaning.

Thumbs Up!.......2007-12-13
I use these for my businees phones and at $29.99 you can't really go wrong. Lots of features and unlimited use.... what's not to like? The phones work great and installed with no problems. Simply made a call to Vonage to add the Mac Address and that was it..... my service is up and running!
Don't use Vonage.......2007-09-12
Yes folks, Vonage is a monster waiting to eat you. I had this phone set.
First, the set itself is not bad at all. They work great. They have a bit of a short range and you can't cook or even go in the kitchen while talking cause the appliances cause drastic interference.
The biggest problem is that it took two phone calls, two hours, and a lot of yelling for me to be able buy, yes buy, these phones from Vonage.
Apparently, Vonage hires idiots who can't add one plus one to work there. I had JUST gotten my first package from Vonage and found that the phones I had sent to me just were not going to work in my situation. So I called customer "no-service" to tell them that I wanted to send those phones back in and BUY these phones. You would think that was simple enough but, oh no. They kept telling me I would have to buy a NEW phone service, or add a new line, or that I just was not allowed.
Well, finally I got someone who spoke English and graduated elementary school on the phone and they fixed me up.
The phones were just right with some limitations.
Fast forward to a year later. I was moving to an apartment were I would NOT have cable internet. They simply did not offer it. Was going to be faced with good ole DSL. Of course that meant I had to have a land line.
So I called up Vonage to schedule termination of my service. Sounds simple??? Not to them.
Call 1 - After a long discussion with the call rep about why I was canceling and how I shouldn't cancel and how I should keep this service and pay for TWO home phones and how I should get a friend to take over this phone account instead of canceling: I was told they can't schedule service termination. I had to call be the day I wanted it turned off. And by the way, if I terminated before the 19th I would have to pay a $40 early cancellation fee since it had not been a FULL year of service.
No big deal I thought. I would just call back that day.
Call 2 - (the 18th) I called and AGAIN had a long discussion with the call rep about why I was canceling and how I shouldn't cancel and how I should keep this service and pay for TWO home phones and how I should get a friend to take over this phone account instead of canceling: I was told they can't schedule service termination. I had to call be the day I wanted it turned off. If they put in the order on that day I would have to pay an early termination fee even though I was calling one day in advance.
Fine, I will call back on the dang anniversary day.
Call 3 - (19th) I called and stopped the rep and told them I was canceling a stop badgering me about doing it. Just DO IT. They INSISTED I give them a reason. They REFUSED to proceed until I told them why. When I would not budge, they looked at my account notes and got the information. Yep! They had it all along. They just wanted to give me crap. Well, this time they said they cancelled it and tried to make me feel like a bum since I had the nerve to cancel.
Call 4 - Well, guess what, not only did they charge me for the NEXT months service, you know, the month that I cancelled because I was moving. They also charged me with the cancellation fee!!!! I got a call rep and they acted like nothing was wrong. This was normal. I HAD to pay a cancellation fee. That was just how it was. And since I didn't cancel before the 19th I had to pay for the next month even though my service was terminated.
I was furious and demanded a manager. They hung up on me.
Call 5 - Again with the call rep asking 500 questions about why I cancelled and I exploded. After a lot of yelling I got a manager who told me that since I didn't give them 30 days WRITTEN notice of my cancellation, I had to pay the cancellation fee. He would be "nice" and credit my next month's charge. I told him that he indeed was going to give me all my money back and I had already talked to my credit card company who would refuse all charges from them. ( This was true. No bluff. I had called to make sure were I stood ) I told him he was NOT going to get anything in writing from me since I had NEVER gotten anything in writing from them. I never signed anything. Finally, he agreed to credit me everything back.
Three weeks go by.
Call 6 - I had yet to have my credit card credited. I called and again got the usual badgering about why I cancelled. After exploding on them yet again and getting a manager, he acted as if I had never called! Fortunately I had the name of the previous guy who of course, wasn't there that day. Long call short, they credited my charge card that day.
So, for all you folks on the fence about Vonage.... if this story doesn't convince you NOT to use them, nothing will and you deserve all the hassle and hell they are going to give you.
Several standard features are lacking on this phone........2007-06-29
I purchased this phone several (5-6) months ago. The appearance is very similar to my previous VTech phone. I was interested in the phone because I thought it would be a good fit with my Vonage service. What I've found is that this phone is inferior in many ways to the VTech phone I purchased 5 years ago. There is no message light on the phones themselves. Yes, there is a blinking light on the base unit and "message waiting" text appears in the display on the phones, but this is MUCH less visable than having a blinking light on the actual phones (like my old VTech phones). Also, the display on the phones lacks information like the time of day and remaining battery charge. I don't understand why VTech removed useful features - I assumed a new phone would have new technological features and instead it is a big step backwards. I am very disappointed I purchased this phone.
Save your money.......2007-01-28
These phones suck! I'm on my second set and have yet to be able to get it to connect. It just sits on yellow. Apparently this is a common problem. If you are one of the lucky few who actually got them to work, yeah for you.
The problem is with the software used in the phones. They should have gone with a simple sip config such as what's used on linksys units, but no. Vonage has no clue how to fix it, you get nothing from VTech and even the computer geeks in the forums are at a loss. They all say the same thing the software in the phones suck!
Save yourself time, money and aggravation and get the linksys product.
Not Reliable--Don't Buy.......2006-12-21
Don't buy these phones, wait until the technology matures a bit more. The only reason I gave the phone two stars is because it was surprisingly easy to setup and use, including the extra handset. Even with full signal strength and while sitting right next to my router, the phones only made about 1 out of 5 or 6 calls. I would dial a number, and there would be nothing but silence. After giving them a try for 3 days, I'm returning them. If you need a wireless phone with multiple handsets for your home Vonage system, here is what to do:
1. Use the Motorola Vonage hub with a regular phone jack.
2. Get a phone jack splitter
3. Plug in two regular wireless phones into the Motorola hub
4. Buy extra handsets for your wireless phones if needed and you'll be all set.
