    Belkin is offering 30 minutes of free calling to any part of the world

Belkin has bought its rather weirdly named Skype phone to India, promising amazingly cheap ISD call rates.


The VoIP phone needs a WiFi connection to work and uses Skype to enable free calls to any Skype phone globally. If you have an existing Wi-Fi set up, this should easily amalgamate into your network. If not, you'd need need to buy one for around Rs. 1,500. The most amazing thing about the Skype phone is the ultra low call rates it offers for any ISD mobile number. How does Re. 1 per minute sound?


There are two versions of the phones. One is a normal desktop version and the other is the wireless WiFi phone that you can lug around wherever you go. The devices feature a phone book facility and can store up to 500 contacts. The phone is a boon for those who frequently make ISD calls or have friends who are on Skype and wish to talk for less.


Now for the flip side. The only bad thing about the WiFi phone is that it would be rendered useless once you're out of a Wi-Fi zone. Additionally, it only supports Skype, so yo only have this option for your calls. As an initial offer, Belkin is offering 30 minutes of free calling to any part of the world. The Belkin Skype desktop Internet phone costs Rs. 7,300 and the Wi-Fi phone can be yours for Rs. 9,712.

1.The 30 min free call is all crap..the so called free time you actually get is subject to skype out rate to the calling nation. 2.The voucher may be invalid..as it was in my case.The only hope then is contacting Skype support. 3.Its pure calling..no chat or SMS support.Belkin has no plan to upgrade the firmware. 4.Skype has stopped supporting 3rd party applications.So in future such phones cant become multifaceted like iPhone etc.

Skype is cheap for Wifi calls but there are some VoIP services like Truphone and Vopium those are offering much cheaper calling rate for landlines and mobile calls, specially Vopium double min package is very cheap.

This phone is pretty useless in its capabilty. Not worth it at all. One can download software such as Nimbuzz and use any supported phone to perform the same functions.
