Your phone, our Skype

by Jayvee on September 9th, 2005

You’ve all heard of Skype, that Internet VOIP app that lets you talk to friends for free. Well, I found this hardware module that allows you to use your phone to make calls via instant messaging. It’s basically like turning your phone into a headset, except that it looks more like you’re … making a call (Eh, what?).

The IM fone allows you to use your cell phone and its contacts as usual, the difference being that you are not actually using the cell phone service network but rather the internet to make and recieve these calls. There will be of course major savings in your next bill cycle thanks to the IM fone. Being based on bluetooth, it is possible for the user to move around in a range of 50 meters from the computer with his cell phone and still be able to talk. The best part is that even if you are using the Skype service to make an international call, it is your cell phone number that will be displayed to the caller ID of the other party.
