What you need
A home phone adapter
The adapter connects your home phone to your broadband router and landline. You’ll need a computer to set up your adapter, but you won’t need one to make calls.
See full system requirements
Your home phone
In addition to calls using your landline, the adapter allows you to make Skype-to-Skype calls, as well as calls to landlines and mobiles over Skype from your home phone.
Broadband and landline connection
In addition to the landline, the adapter must connect to your router, phone socket and your phone, so make sure that all cables can reach.
A Skype account
Once you have a Skype account, you can use Skype wherever you need it.

How do I add credit?

Can I receive calls?
Yes, if someone calls you, your home phone will ring and you can answer as normal.
-
My landline and router are not close to each other, can I still use the home phone adapter?
Your landline socket and router do need to be near each other as they both connect to the home phone adapter. However, you can purchase a ‘Powerline Adapter kit’ which extends an ethernet network connection to any electrical outlet.

Can I make emergency calls with FREETALK® Home Phone Adapter for Skype?
The FREETALK Home Phone Adaptor enables both Skype and landline calling through your regular phone, and the adapter should be kept connected to the landline at all times. Emergency calls will use the landline connection by default and route to the emergency services in the normal way. If your FREETALK Home Phone Adaptor is not connected to the landline, the call will be terminated through Skype’s limited emergency calling capabilities. Skype should be used as an absolute last resort for emergency calling. Skype’s limited emergency calling is available only through limited software versions and platforms, including the FREETALK Home Phone Adaptor, and only in few markets, including the UK. For other limitations of Skype’s limited emergency calling capabilities, see our Terms of Use.
1 A fair usage policy applies. Excludes service, special, premium and non-geographic numbers. UK landline calls are those made to area codes beginning 01 and 02.
2 The actual number of minutes may vary depending on your calling destination and the number of calls you make. A connection fee applies.
