This tiny , USB - power machine is an interesting addition to the pantheon of Skype - related gear . The Phone Wizard allow you to make both Skype and landline calls from the same telephone set . To switch between the two feature of speech , you simply press the # key twice . To dial Skype contacts , the Phone Wizard adds a stop number dial number to the standard Skype UI .
Installation , on Windows XP or 2000 only , is square . Actiontec includes a driver phonograph recording , a USB cable , and a brusk manual of arms . Sound caliber on a received phone was as good as using a headseat / mic combo and for regular user of landline phone this unequaled switching scheme is very cool .
The Internet Phone Wizard is a overnice mode to re - utilize that football phone you receive from Sports Illustrated years ago and add up cordless functionality to what has thus far been a pretty pumped endeavor .
