Manufacturer's Description
Free-1 is an advanced USB phone specially made for active Skype users. With lightweight and stylish design, it is a lot more fun using Skype! Programmable buttons provides users with higher level of convenience. It allows users to have better control of Skype and make SkypeOut calls via the keypad. Ten different ring tones alert users of incoming calls. Other functions include volume control, mic mute, speed dial, and LED light indication. Free-1 allows you to contact people around the world for free.

FREE-1 is specially designed to enhance and expand your Skype experience. Every aspect of using Skype is reflected in how FREE-1 looks, feels, and operates. Now you can Skype with style!

FREE-1’s unique shape allows easy and intuitive Skype operation, from activating the Skype window, to picking up and calling. The size and proportion of FREE-1 is designed to fit comfortably in your hand and against your facial contours when you talk, while being small and compact enough to carrying around with your laptop. Three unique reasons to love free-1 are its Buddy Jog, thoughtful 12 degree angle, and anti-crosstalk.

Buddy jog will be the first feature to catch your attention. When you play with the buddy jog, you can’t help but Skype more and more friends. Greatest part is that Skype to Skype is totally free! Even if you SkypeOut to someone out of the Skype circle, it would cost so little! Next time when you play with your Buddy jog, who do you want to Skype? When using free-1, do not use it as if it was a regular phone, where you have to cup your hand over the mouth piece in order for the other party to hear you better. free-1 is designed to fit the angle of your face. The design of free-1 has placed the location of the ear and mouth piece for best fit and comfort of your communication needs.

Also when free-1 is placed on the table, the 12° angle is the best angle to fit in the palm of your hands. When you pick up free-1, it will fit the curves of your face at the same time feel weightless in the palm of your hand.

Users of free-1 simply need to speak in a normal tone to utilize the anti-crosstalk technology. Crosstalk is when 2 different voices or sounds are being transmitted simultaneously Crosstalk can cause static, delays and/or echo which detracts from the conversation.

To prevent such cases, free-1 is created with the hollow mouthpiece structure. This design allows for optimal distance between the speaker and mouthpiece to minimize the chance of echo. The hollow mouthpiece design creates a more realistic experience rather than speaking over the internet.

We hope through Skype & IPEVO, we can shorten the distance between people and their love ones, bringing love and joy to the world.

Customer Reviews

Best corded Skype phone around
This is really the best Skype phone I've ever used. The phone is very well made and very stylish. It's also much smaller then it looks in the pictures, but is a very comfortable size to hold. The buttons on it are tactile and clearly labeled, and well placed throughout the phone. It took me 2 minutes to learn all the functions of the phone just by playing about with it, a true testiment to it's design quality.

Sound qualitiy is as good as it gets really, phone conversations are clear and the volume goes up very loud. It does lack speaker phone function, although the same functionality can be achieved by using seperate speakers, as you can set in the phones settings which microphone and speakers to use for Skype.

The software is fantastic, being stable and fully featured. It works well on both PC and Mac, with the Mac software being slighly less well featured, but it's still in beta, so I expect the final version to have as many features as the Windows version.

All-in-all, a great phone at a great price (£25 when I got it). My only peeve is that it's $29 in America, which is around £16.

Novelty Bang & Olufsen Style VoIP
Apart from the branding, this is like a Bang & Olufsen
USB VoIP phone. Novelty design, easy to install and use. No need to install OS drivers and works with many Internet talk software i.e. SKYPE, ICQ, MSN, Google Talk, etc. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed with this buy.
