Can I use this phone to answer a call coming over my computer? (my computer screen is busy with another program)

Skype is set by default to show over everything else on the screen when it rings, so yes it's possible to answer the phone, by clicking the appropriate button. If you prefer speakers when not on the phone you must then plug the phone in: hectic, but it's worth it not having to yell at the computer in order to carry on a phone conversation. The changes in Skype warned about by Patrick E. allow you to use the USB phone still, but you can't dial anything on it, you must use skype's somewhat awkward dialpad to do this after Dec. 2013 - this a rather nasty-nerdy-dictatorial move, it seems to me - One way to get around it would probably be to use an old version of Skype.exe, many of which are available on the internet, or you can just not update if you have Skype already. Save a copy of a current or older Skype.exe file somewhere and you'll probably be able to dial indefinitely. Just don't update.

No tengo problemas con Skype cuando hay otra pantalla viva: Skype se pone por encima. Deberias verificar tus configuraciones. Con Mac aparece solamente la pantalla de Skype, pero funciona igual

Yes you can today - the only problem is that Skype claims the phones will not be functional after December 1, 2013. Not sure of what the change in functionality will involve.

you can answer a call, but first you have to install the program. it is easy. The program is not compatible with mac.

Yes you can call when connected to internet. But not sure of the quality of the service as it depends on the internet bandwidth

Yes. I can't use it with my phone, and I have linked it to the computer (PC).

Yes. Via the intercom. Pressing the intercom causes the other phone to make a noise. You answer it like you would a regular call. Person one tells you there is a call and I believe they just hang up and you're still connected to the call. You can also conference call this way.Page 38 of the Users Guide.

No. You cannot make phone calls with it. It is a Tablet. Similar to an iPad in size and function capabilities.

No, it will not. That is really a function of the phone service you have. Whether you have one line or two lines, the phone company will see a "busy" on the line that is in use. Only if you have two lines, and the ability with your phone service to "call forward if busy", would a call to one line be able to be answered by this particular telephone on the second line.

Never did much with it, sent it back because it had screen problem. If I remember I don't think you could, its a simple device with lots of limitation.

Yes, you can answer phone calls without flip-open the cover. You can look at clock, weather, play music using S-view window without open the cover. You can't really call out though, you have to dial the number on the phone, then you can continuing your call even after you close the cover, just can't really initiate phone call.

Yes you can. In fact when you pick up the second line it states you are on a conference call. Hope that helps.

No. My phone utilizes VOIP. When a 2nd call comes in there is a brief interruption in the connection.

It takes a bit of time to get used to but yes you can use it to talk on the phone. I believe it was one click to answer, click and hold for 3 seconds to decline.

Yes. You can. Once you set up properly it just works like regular telephone. You won't be able to tell the difference.

Yes, but I would recommend not running other programs while skype is running.

This is a very basic phone. We are able to answer call-waiting by using the hook to click over to the waiting call. Hope this helps!

Yes. To answer or hang up the call, you depress the button on top of the device. In the picture, it is the blue highlighted circle on the top.
