VoIP Phones For Mac Lovers

For Mac users, finding a VoIP phone that works with Mac in this PC dominated world, and providing you with high-quality calls can be challenging, but it is doable.  I’m not talking about the iPhone.  For all you Mac users out there, here are some (other) Mac compatible phones you might want to check out:

  • The Keyspan VP-24A - the Keyspan is a cordless phone made for Skype users. It can access your Skype contact list allowing you simple push button dialing to anyone on that list. You can use it as a microphone for iChat as well as device for your Skype.  Sound quality is similar to that of regular cordless phones.
  • The Cyberphone W – this phone has the distinction of being the first Skype-certified device to be available in all Mac stores. It incorporates the sleek design Mac users love. One feature that stands out is that when the phone is lifted from the cradle, Skype is automatically started on your computer. It also provides easy access to your voicemail with single button access.
  • The Ipevo Free-1 -  the Ipevo is a current favourite among the Skype phones.  Fashionistas love it - the white or black phone is accented with green buttons and is ergonomically sculpted to fit the face. It also appeals to geeks with it’s full range of features. There are ten ring tones, echo elimination and, most interestingly, the phone allows you listen to music while you make calls. Audio quality is top notch, and resembles that of a mobile connection.
  • i2Telecom Voice Stick - the Voice Stick is a great option for those who love making VoIP calls on the go. It’s tiny enough to be carried on a key chain or in a pocket.  The phone works with the Voice Stick software, which is available for a range of fees.
  • The Linksys CIT310 - the Linksys phone works with Yahoo Messenger and it allows you to make calls using the free Mac-to-Mac feature, as well as Yahoo Out.  You can also access many of the Yahoo features through the phone.  Another plus is that the phone also has a jack so that it can be hooked up to standard phone lines as well.
  • The VTech IP8100 – the VTech was engineered specifically for Vonage users. Features include one-touch access to Vonage Voicemail, a fifty-entry phone book, and hands-free speakerphone. Mac users should be wary, however. While the phone itself is compatible with Macs, some of the features and accessories, like the portable V-Phone, have had compatibility issues.
