Sister wants to skype BF

[bwana]

I cant let her use my computer every morning at 6! Remember hes in Canada, timezones

id rather pay for that cable MYSELF than have my sister in my room every morning at 6 chattering to her bf

Get one of these - connect it to a normal cordless phone and as long as your computer is running she can call that way. Cost is about r300.

Alternatively you can get a standalone cordless skype phone like this which doesnt require a PC.

That's pretty nifty looking.... Besides, we're all keen to tell others about the nice sounding products out there that we haven't ourselves tested yet... let us know how it goes

which one? I use the uConnect with a cordless phone and it works great - POTS and Skype. As I mentioned you need to have a PC running for the skype to work though POTS isnt affected.

There are plenty of posts on the [searchforum]DUALPHONE[/searchforum].

Ive got a better plan... tell your sister long distance relationships dont work, let her get all depressed, then tell her that the only way to feel better is to have a slumber party with all her hot girlfriends AND WHAM you've got 10 chicks jumping around the house with nothing byt pyjamas on...

Roofies aint that expensive man WHAM you've got one...

If not go for the cable, my wireless router has trouble giving my laptop good reception over 5 metres (2 walls)

What about those ethernet over power (I'm not talking about power over ethernet) things ... they cost a lot, but will still be wired and no hassle ... don't no how reliable they are though.

Be a problem if they two rooms are on different fuses. AFAIK the EoP can't jump this.
