Dual Mode Cordless Phone for Yahoo! Messenger with Voice

Thank you for choosing Linksys Dual-Mode Cordless Phone. It will allow you to make phone calls using your broadband connection and Yahoo!® Messenger with Voice as well as through your regular (landline) phone service.

The Linksys Dual-Mode Phone gives you cordless convenience, so you don't have to sit in front of your computer when you want to talk to your friends and it comes with a handset and USB base station. The base station plugs into your computer using a USB port, and you can connect its LINE port to a telephone wall jack. With Yahoo!

Messenger running on your computer, the handset can show your Messenger contact list on its display. Find a contact in your list, press the call key, and start talking.

The phone also works with Yahoo! Messenger’s Phone Out service, as well as a regular phone. It rings when you have an incoming call on Yahoo! Messenger, or on your regular line and it even provides caller ID. You can press the mute button for privacy, or use the speakerphone function to let everyone join in.

The Linksys Dual-Mode Cordless Phone gives you all the functionality of a regular phone plus the capability to handle free or low-cost calls through Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
