FEATURES- USB00020C01A-Actiontec - Internet Phone Wizard 6.0- USB
Put the telephone back in Internet telephony! The Actiontec Internet
Phone Wizard combines the best of both worlds -- the ease and
convenience of your regular phone and the zero cost of Internet
calls. Until now, you had to sit in front of your computer and wear
uncomfortable headsets to make Internet calls. Or you had to choose
between completely separate user experiences between using a
regular phone or Internet phone. The Internet Phone Wizard with
Skype makes all of these problems a thing of the past. Simply
connect your computer to the Internet, pick up your phone,and begin
dialing as you have always done - without any worry of a huge phone
bill. The Internet Phone Wizard with Skype makes it easy and fun to
call any Skype user in the world for free, and everyone else at low
SkypeOut rates.
* Use Your Regular Phone to Make and Receive Internet Calls
Making Internet phone calls is free and easy, but it is just too
cumbersome to wear strange headsets and sit in front of your computer to
talk. This is just the problem the Actiontec Internet Phone Wizard
solves. Instead of being restricted to unwieldy headsets or small
microphones in front of the computer, now you can make Internet calls
from anywhere with a cordless or regular phone. You will still be using
the Skype service and an Internet connection for these calls, the only
difference is that everything will be channeled through the phone
instead of the computer speakers. Additionally, these Internet calls
come with superior sound quality and convenience. They sound as good as
regular calls with the Internet Phone Wizards echo-cancellation
technology and excellent voice quality. The calls are also easy to make,
with a speed-dial feature that lets you call your friends by tapping
only a couple of keys on your phone.
* Use the Same Phone for Internet and Regular Calls
The Internet Phone Wizard is the worlds first device to truly integrate
Internet calls with regular calls. Whether you want to make or receive
calls, use the same phone for all your Internet as well as regular
calls. This is not only a handy feature, but it is also very easy to
use. When you receive a phone call, the Internet Phone Wizard
automatically detects whether it is an incoming Internet or regular
phone call and switches to that phone mode automatically. You just have
to pick up and start talking. When you pick up your phone to make a
call, you will hear a regular dial tone and it will be ready for normal
calls. If you would like to make an Internet call, a couple of key taps
your phone informs Internet Phone Wizard that you want to make Internet
calls. In addition, the Internet Phone Wizard comes with a unique,
patented call-waiting feature. When you are already on a call, you can
pick up incoming calls by just pressing a couple of keys. So whether you
would like to use your phone for Internet or regular calls. Switching
between the two is as easy as pressing a few keys on your phone.
* Get a Second Phone Line Absolutely Free
With Internet Phone Wizard, you no longer have to wait for family
members to get off the phone when you want to make a call. Use the
capabilities of the Internet to create another phone line, for free. The
Internet Phone Wizard with Skype does this without any configuration.
And because Internet Phone Wizard lets you make calls to anyone in the
world - whether they are on a computer or a regular phone, you can call
anyone you want, when you want to call them. Now you can call friends
across town, across continents-without tying up phone lines and at no
cost whatsoever.
