How do the units work?
The KX-WP1050 Wi-Fi Phone for Skype Executive Travel Set consists of the KX-WPA100 
wireless handset and the KX-WPA102 wireless travel router (base unit) (router/wireless 
access point functioning). It enables you to make and answer Skype-to-Skype calls with its 
handset anywhere an Internet connection is available. In order to make Skype-to-Skype 
calls, the handset needs wireless connection to the base unit which provides an access to 
the Internet. You also need to sign in to Skype with your Skype account to make Skype-
to-Skype calls. You can create your Skype account with the handset or on your computer.
Note: 
LDepending on the network you use, you may not be able to connect to Skype due to 
intentional restriction. 
What is Skype?
Skype is a little piece of software that lets you call people you know, all over the world, for 
free.
With this product you have the added convenience of using Skype without being tied to 
your computer.
