USRobotics has released a new dual purpose Skype phone which will free you from those long telephone bills. The new USR9630 Cordless Phone for Skype in conjunction with the USR9631 Accessory Handset lets you make and receive Skype calls. The best part being that you won’t need to splurge on a separate handset for your landline as it can connect up to four cordless phones on a single line. Don’t you just love technology?

Hook the cordless set to an USB port and install the Skype(TM) Internet calling software and voila you are all set to make free skype calls. If the other person doesn’t have Skype, no worries as one can make low cost calls via SkypeIn(TM) and SkypeOut(TM) services.

The USR9630 Cordless Dual Phone is equipped with a graphical LCD display and is LED backlit. Thanks to the echo cancellation and noise reduction technology one gets crystal clear sound and via the speakerphone indulge in some good old handsfree calling. Other features include; Plug-and-Play support, Skype Caller ID and telephone company Caller ID, Battery level indicator and Out of Range warning tone. The USR9630 Cordless Dual Phone will retail for $119.99 and the USR9631 Accessory Handset for $69.99. The former would be available by September and the latter at October.
