just add the deskphone to your basket and the other phones, then the delivery will be zero..

Do these phones have a speaker phone capability? We have a couple of those spider/star conference sets at the moment.

We spend a fortune on conference calls between London and Canada, so I've been looking for a cheap user-friendly solution for a trial.

Can this be used as a landline phone too? Or can it only be connected to a PC via USB? Can anyone find more detailed pictures of it, or preferably a manual or something?

It doesn't seem to be listed as a free delivery item, that's what I mean.

Can this store phone numbers on it then? Or will it need to be dialled through the PC?

Skype (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-533984-10386659) is free to subscribe and download, which then allows you to make free skype to skype calls. If you want to call a landline, you can charge up your account like a PAYG mobile with credit. You can then dial the number. Can call a US landline or mobile for 1.1p per minute! Works pretty well considering the cost!

If it doesn't work with OSX would you accept a return?

Costs as above, connection wise you connect the phone to the PC, not the modem. The PC needs to be on and (probably) running Skype in the clock tray for the phone to work.

You can phone the US for 1p/min via 1899.com and use your regular phone.
(I just wanted to point this out in case peeps thought that Skype was the only way to do that cheaply). I'm not trying to put anyone off of this offer as I have no link to 1899.com apart from the being a customer of theirs (this forum originally put me onto them anyway).
There's also some software called voip buster for free computer -> land line calls but it's Windows only.

Cheers
