VIVOphone VoiceKey Skype adapter

Though far from the first Skype phone adapter, VIVOphone's new VoiceKey here may well be the smallest -- the company's certainly claiming it is. In addition to letting you use any old phone to make and receive calls with Skype or VIVOphone's own VoIP service, the VoiceKey will let you juggle up to nine calls at a time and handle conference calls with up to five people. The adapter's also compatible with DECT cordless phones, as well as the more common 2.4GHz and 900MHz varieties, and it'll get along nicely with PBX systems. No word on price or availability just yet, unfortunately.

I would like to know if I could use the Vivophone in place of the MagicJack? I mean if I had an account with them. Like paid for the service already, but didn't the MagicJack USB module. Is the electronics in the Vivophone and MagicJack the same? Let me know hypnotech aaat jun0 ddot kom.

I have both VoiceKey by Merax and the Magic Jack. VoiceKey is much better. Better quality and fewer connection problems. I believe they use similar technology. But, you don't get a phone # with Skype unless you subscribe to get one.

Do I need to have a number to use this device? I just don't want to spend extra bucks for the number, I just want to use this device to call other phones using Skype.

This looks interesting, I'd like to get one for my dad. Should this work ok in Australia? Any reason why it shouldn't work?

The VoiceKey by Merax is a great technical advancement in sound quality for Skype. I have used my VoiceKey for over a year and never had a problem. It should work in Australia since Skype is worldwide.
