DualPhone combines VOIP and POTS in a cordless handset

June 4, 2005 This is big news! In the year since Skype officially launched its free P2P telephone service, the service has been growing like wildfire. Add to this a broadening of features such as SkypeOut and SkypeIn, their outbound and inbound bridges to traditional phone service, and Skype Voicemail and it's starting to look like Skype can take on the entire telecom industry all by itself. Fortunately for Skype, they don't have to conquer the world alone. They have a strong ally in RTX, specifically RTX's Olympia DualPhone. The DualPhone combines the best features of Skype with the best features of a standard cordless handset. For the first time Skype users can make calls in the same convenient fashion that we've had available with standard phone service for the last 50 years. Better, in fact, since the DualPhone allows incoming POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) calls to be placed on hold when a Skype call comes in, and vice versa. This is big!
