Skype is crypted, secure like all GSM or DECT communications... Normal VoIP are not crypted and can be heared by everybody. More infos here (german) : http://www.teltarif.de/arch/2007/kw48/s27978.html?page=2
| Device : what is a wifi skype phone ? |
> to be used at home exactly like a Dect -Phone.
> Battery : no memory effect :)
> During a call, it is possible to disconnect/connect the battery charger... useful for long calls.
> My modem can (order by best-quality)
wep 64 bits
wep 128 bits
tkip (wpa)
aes (wpa2)
The device supports the WPA, but until now the connection only worked with WEP 64 bits and 128 bits...
> skype-credit displayed on the phone (not real-time updated, but update some mn after a call : quite very good, to follow the costs...)
> can be used with ur same skype account (of course) in other Wlan (by friend, job, ...) when access is possible.
> skype-contact and normal telecom-number displayed/stored on the phone, totally synchronized with the skype account reachable on a computer (mac or pc)
> voicemail (answer machine) : is a standard function from skype. in this case, this is very useful :
the device displays directly the currently messages present. no need to check or pay.

Skype Out :
> Minute price : http://www.skype.de/intl/de/prices/callrates/
but i have computed exactly : Germany or France : sometimes exactly 0.02€/mn* sometimes exactly 0.03€/mn*
how ? buy a http://www.skype.de/intl/de/allfeatures/skypecredit/
(*) because 10€-credit for 11.50€
(*) possibility to automatically-recharge if 2€ is reached.
(*) this is more than call-by-call with deutsch telekom, but possible without deutsch telekom line, then without monthly-pay (22€ !)
(*) this is less than 0.04€/mn by arcor or freenet, or 0.08€/mn by Alice.
> Speed to be connected : immediately, like a normal phone-call.
> Sound-Quality : good... but sometimes very bad... is it this phone ? is it skype ? i have to try with the charging device...
