– 3J Communications, Inc., one of the world’s largest
Skype and VoIP phone manufacturers, today announced the availability
of the new SkyProTM Embedded Skype phone with
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications), that allows users to make regular landline PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network)
calls as well as
Skype calls without the need to turn on their PC.
“Our new 3J
SkyPro is an extremely
versatile dual function phone that not only makes crystal clear
regular landline calls, using DECT technology, it provides Skype
calls worldwide, with its embedded Skype software,” noted Larry

search their Skype friends on the unit’s bright 1.5” color handset
screen. There are even separate call lists for both PSTN and Skype
