DECT 6.0 permits delivery of calls without the static, pops, hiss and buzz which severely hinder the performance of most wireless home and small office telephones. Widely used throughout Europe and Asia, DECT 6.0 solves many of the most common consumer complaints in the use of cordless telephones.

The GE 28300EE2 was created with convienence in mind. The GE 28300EE2 features a built-in speakerphone, color lcd screen, Skype & land-line conferencing capability of up to four users simultaneously from the handset, integrated Skype caller ID, and Easy one-touch link for powerful wireless home networking capabilities.

The GE 28300EE2 will carry an MSRP of $149.99 and will be available through Skype’s online store.
