A wireless router is required to detect a Wi-Fi surrounding and then the phone can log into the user's Skype Account. Once the user logs into the Skype Account, he can dial a Skype number or a mobile number and make overseas calls. Calls rates are as low as Rs. 1 per minute via Skype to other mobile phones globally. Belkin has bundled these phones with 30 Skype Out minutes and 1 month of free voice mail to some users.



The phone is pre-loaded with Skype software and has features such as call log, call history, clock and auto-list import.
