Engin has launched its first DECT cordless phone manufactured by D-Link onto the Australian residential VoIP market. The new dual mode phone enables Engin users to make and receive calls over either VoIP or traditional landline without sacrificing mobility in the home.

The engin Internet Phone 221 is priced at $199 RRP direct from Engin and will be available from late October. It will also be on shelves at Harvey Norman and Powerhouse stores from early November.

The Engin Internet Phone 221 includes a range of additional features such as hands-free speakerphone, phonebook to store contacts and choice of 10 ring tones. It also includes voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID, call line ID and turbo dialing.

"At Engin, we're committed to putting the huge cost savings that our service delivers together with the latest, easy-to-use technology into the hands of all Australians," said Ilkka Tales, CEO, Engin.

"Today's announcement is a significant step towards this goal as we're integrating Internet telephony into the type of cordless phone that Australians are already so familiar with. Aussies can now make an Internet call on a cordless phone and not even know it - that is, until they get their cheaper phone bill," he said.

Set up is a four step process that sounds easy enough for most residential users to handle. 1. Plug in the power supply. 2. Plug in the base unit. 3. Plug that into broadband and 4. Plug into your existing telephone service.
