Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips VOIP1511B/37 Skype Travel Phone

Customer Review: Stay away from this piece of crap
Summary: 1 Stars

I have bought the Philips VoIP151 on Amazon, and I will send it back tomorrow morning. It's a piece of crap, and so is the Amazon product description.

The phone is not compatible with a recent Skype version but can only deal with Skype 4.0.0.215 or older - unfortunately, the Amazon product description doesn't reveal this information, otherwise I would have stayed away from this product in the first place (as I should have).

I have installed the phone software according to the user manual on both of my computers, but the Philips VoIP151 and Skype (which I had to downgrade from the 226 to the 215 version...) simply don't communicate. The Skype software can't find the phone software, and even though I have downgraded the Skype software to the older version the Philips VoIP151 software is still telling me that it isn't compatible with anything more recent than the *.215 version.

I have then tried to uninstall the phone software (which requires the installation CD and can't be done through the "add/change software" application on your pc) in order to give re-installation a try, and - surprise surprise - the software can't be uninstalled. Every time I try I am getting the "the uninstallation was unsuccessful" announcement.

I highly recommend to stay away from this product unless you have tons of time to waste at your fingertips and are in dire need of a headache.
