Linksys CIT400 Dual-Mode Skype/Landline Internet Phone


About a year ago, I started working from home. I wanted to install an office line - but I needed something I could take with me if I ever moved (which, a year later, we did move to a different state). In reviewing the options, I knew I wouldn't be using the phone too much, so I decided to go with Skype as a provider - primarily due to the low cost of the Skype service.

However, I didn't want Internet telephone service on my PC. I wanted a real phone to use.

The Linksys CIT400 really fit the bill for ease of use, reliability, and features. After a year's use, I can tell you this is really a nice phone. It features support for Skype AND a hardwired phone line - so I can just have one phone in my office for my business line and my home line.

Product Description

The Linksys CIT400 Dual-Mode Cordless Phone with Skype is part of the iPhone family of products that use the Internet to enhance the way you communicate. The CIT400 is a full-featured cordless phone that provides an easy way to take advantage of Skype Internet calling as well as place calls over your normal phone line (PSTN) from a single device. No PC required! Just sign into your Skype account from the handset, and your contacts and their availability are displayed on your color screen. Advanced DECT cordless technology won’t interfere with 802.11 wireless networks.

Dual-Mode capability lets you choose whether to make calls over a standard telephone line or with Skype. Just select who you want to talk to from your contact list on your handset and get ready to talk.
