I live in the US now and pay about $50 with my cellphone provider per month for 600 minutes and some text messaging.
If these phones cost about $300, that is roughly 6 months with my cellphone provider. If you get this beta SkypeZone business, you are spending $36 USD/year. That is $336 for your first year with Skype, which is HALF the price of many common cellphone providers. The next year, you would only pay for your Skype service, making the savings just amazing.
Downsides? 1)You need to be near a broadband internet connection. 2) This is not a replacement for a cellphone because you cannot call an emergency hotline.

I still think I'd prefer to have this in the house and on the road (with a pay-as-you-go, never-given-out-number mobile phone for 911). ]]>Sep 1st 2006 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/Sep 19th 2006 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/Nov 10th 2006 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/philips-drops-another-cordless-skype-phone/Jan 14th 2007 3:55AM
