Keyspan Unveils Skype-Compatible, Cordless VoIP Phone

Keyspan on Monday announced that its new cordless voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone, which is Skype-compatible and goes for about $80, will ship before the end of August, according to an Aug. 28 press release on XTVWorld.com.

The new Keyspan phone supports both PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calls, from a Mac or a PC, and supports caller ID and speed-dial functions for Skype and Skype out numbers, according to the release.

Users can open their Skype accounts via the new Keyspan cordless phone with a single click of a button, and an LCD display tells them who is available online as well as information on the length of calls and the strength of signals, according to the release. The phone can be used for up 15 hours of talk time due to its rechargeable batteries, as well as 1,200 hours of standby time, according to the release.
