Telephony - Product Reviews

blechz - (September 19, 2004) I wanted to do away with a dedicated fax line, since I used it only infrequently. This device allowed me to combine my fax with an existing phone line without any inconvenience. It works invisibly, and I highly recommend it.

yeah_iknow - (March 12, 2003) The only thing holding this back from being the greatest thing ever is that not everyone has one yet. I have one buddy who has one, but I can only call him so much ya know? Anyhow everything else with this device is pretty much perfect. I don't see anything wrong with it design wise and the technology lives up to what it's supposed to do. My buddy and I both have DSL and get great frame rates when in the calls. Plus the resolution is good enough to read small words on his shirt when he is in focus. (side note: it would be nice to have an auto focus or at least be able to set the focus with the remote so you don't have to get up and chage the focus when you change positions.) Setu

charles_saunders - (February 13, 2003) I bought this from http://vistore.vialta.com and split the delivery to my sister in Florida. It took about 5 minutes to unpack it and get it hooked up to my phone wire. When I called my sister I received a message 'Beamer is now connecting', and 10 seconds later I could see her family! We spoke quite long, making funny faces and rounding up the kids so they could take a turn. All in all, it is a very solid product, and I will be buying more for far and away relatives. Sincerely- Charles.

mamamia617 - (06/07/2009) This product delivers. Took me a while to understand how to get my system (after reducing the number of phone lines, combining my fax line with a voice line) to work with this product. Tech support was patient and helpful, especially since the printed manual had some typos (all STAR "*" characters were not printed) that made some of the more crucial instructions misleading.... All in all, it does the job, and saves me money.

kwolz - (07/17/2008) The conference phone looks new as stated. We have not been able to fully test it's ability. The only issue I had initially is the fact that you have to have a dedicated analog line. All our lines are digital. There is no way to connect our phone to the conference phone as we did our older model Polycom. We are splitting the fax line in order for the phone to dial out. We can not have anyone dial into it though. It's fixable, but for a cost of the phone company coming out. The best feature is the ability to plug in your cell phone.

choctawspirit - (10/18/2007) I'm not very impressed with the Kensington Vo200 bluetooth Internet Phone. Every time I use it I notice a delay in the transmission/reception, almost like an echo. When I use my Plantronics Bluetooth headset or my corded headset there is no delay so I'm sure it's not my laptop or Yahoo VOIP causing the delay. Forget about receiving a call with this phone because by the time you retrieve it from the laptop then power it up and finally answer, the call has gone to voicemail.
