Can I use this for skype calls?

I don't think you can connect it to your computer. It's designed to connect to MP3 players, I tried to connect it to my laptop for a school project but it didn't work (of course that was two years ago).

As I only use mine for skype, and had no issue with using it just plugging it into the computer right out of the box, I can't help with this question.

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

You can install skype, and you can make calls, but you must consider that this phone does not have a front camera, so you only be able to talk. Another thing to consider is the low ram memory available for use, despite the phone works great, the skype takes to much memory and sometimes it just closes itself.

Yes you can. This mic functions just like another other mic and I have used it with Skype too.

I have downloaded skype and can use it. The quality depends on the speed of the connection.

No, you cannot. This is a voice only phone that uses SIP protocol. No Skype.

Sorry, J.M. I have not heard of such a thing. All the Skype solutions I have read about are either just a handset you plug into your computer or are a full-blown computer replacement with handset like the VOIP841. They all have a handset. But I will suggest this.... You said you are "looking at switching to Skype". If you have not yet switched to Skype, I strongly recommend downloading Skype software for free to your computer and getting used to it that way before you get a standalone Skype device. There are a lot of strong features and icons and ways to do things that are unique to Skype, and using Skype on a computer will get you used to it. The Skype built into dedicated devices is a shorthand of the Skype icons and feature set, and it really helps to be Skype-savvy with the computer version before you go to a dedicated device. Just my opinion. For example, I have a SkypeIn number which rings in my Skype phone, and I only give out one number to everybody, instead of giving out a cell number, office number, home number. When I am at home I answer calls on my Skype phone. When I am away I answer calls on my cell phone to the same number, and all I do is change my Skype setting to "offline" in my Skype phone. Easy and great way to go. If you don't know about Skype, you don't know that you can change your setting to: Online, Skype Me, Offline, Away, Unavailable, Do Not Disturb, Invisible, and perhaps one or two others. When other people look me up in their Skype (computer or phone) they see my status set to one of these icons. Nothing like this is available with MagicJack or any other VOIP solution that I know of. So download Skype and get used to it first. ;-)

Yes you can use it with Skype. It picks up pretty well and you can always adjust where you place it in relation to your mouth because the mic arm is adjustable.

Yes, it is very simple to set it for Skype, you do not need any additional hardware and it is very simple to download the software.

Yes. I currently use it on my laptop primarily for Skype as well. Works great so far.

Just looking at it, I would assume you could. Mine is connected to my computer, but I have also used it on Skype.

No.. This is only for Mircosoft Windows for desktop or laptop. But, it may be recommended for desktop use by the specifications requirements. This does not work well and needs a device firmware due to Skype Users.

Yes! I bought this laptop for my wife and she used skype a couple of times on it and it worked great.

They can be used for Skype but I could not get mine installed because the direction for installation were in a different language and I could not get English directions. I was not happy with this product and as we speak this product is sitting in the box and never been used. ;I would suggest calling the company that produces this product and asking them. I hope that helps I did some research though h=and the website says the product can be used for Skype.

Yes, you can Skype. The quality is great. I used it to Skype back home to my family when I was in in Iraq and in England. As long as the Internet is stable and a good speed, the Skype will work, although I use other products than Skype.
