FAQs:

What Skype features are supported on the FREETALK® Phone Adapter for Skype?

• Free, unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls (up to 99 speed dials/Skype contacts)
• Calls to landlines and mobiles domestically as well as internationally.

Can I access my Skype address book?

Yes, once you have completed the set up on your computer, your phone adapter will be automatically synced up with your Skype account. So all your Skype contact details and numbers will be ready to use.

Can I make Skype-to-Skype calls to other devices, such as mobiles and Skype-ready TVs?

Yes, you can contact anyone on Skype regardless of the device they are using.

How do I add credit?

Buy your first credit amount online by clicking on ‘buy credit’ at Skype.com. If you select the ‘auto-recharge’ option, Skype will recharge your account automatically when it falls below $2 so you do not unexpectedly run out of credit.

Can I receive calls?

Yes, if someone calls you, your home phone will ring and you can answer as normal.

My landline and router are not close to each other, can I still use the home phone adapter?

Your landline socket and router do need to be near each other as they both connect to the phone adapter. However, you can purchase a ‘Powerline Adapter kit’ which extends an ethernet network connection to any electrical outlet.

I only want to use my home phone adapter for Skype calls, must I connect my landline?

A landline is not required to use the phone adapter for Skype. However Skype should not be considered as a replacement landline service.
