T-30 IP Mate

Life

5 September 2006

This product allows you to use Skype to place and receive Skype calls with your mobile phone for free. You should be able to transfer your calls from Skype on your PC to a mobile phone and vice versa. On test, this worked quite well and the sound quality was good.

In the package you’ll find the T-30 adapter, a phone cable, a USB cable and an installation CD. You connect the T30 to your PC via USB, you then plug the phone cable into the line-in port of your regular phone set, and plug your phone cable into the line-in port in the T-30.

After installing the software and setting it up I was able to receive all of my Skype incoming calls on my mobile phone, or use the latter to call my Skype contacts. The T-30 operates as an intermediary between my Skype PC and my regular PSTN phone line.

The T-30 IP Mate also offers a Skype to mobile phone forward feature. From a different PC, you can your official Skype contact ID then, and after a few seconds your mobile phone should ring. You don’t need to forward your phone calls specifically to a mobile phone but you may also do it to any number as long as you are aware that the T-30 will use your PSTN line to make the transfer from Skype to the number. Another interesting feature is the one that lets you use your regular phone to make or answer Skype and regular PSTN calls. This feature is definitely neat for it takes away the hassle of being seated in front of your computer each time you want to use your Skype, now I essentially have two phone lines in one phone set.

Verdict 4 stars

In summary The T-30 is a very interesting product. It makes Skype really portable, gives the mobility I wasn’t getting for free before, and it performs well.

Price: €48.59
