Features:

Information at Your Fingertips

• The new ip8300 infoPhone uses the Internet to access information directly on the cordless handset’s color LCD screen, including news headlines, weather reports, horoscopes, local directory search and more. The infoPhone has a dedicated key for one-touch access to personalized, valuable information – sports fans can see the latest scores for their favorite team and busy parents can easily check the local weather before dressing the kids for school. The ip8300 bypasses the need for a computer to get these updates since it is connected to the Internet via a dedicated connection in the phone systems base station.

Constant Access to E-mail and Instant Messenger

• Email users can stay in touch with friends and family using the infoPhones ability to send and receive both e-mails and instant messages directly from their cordless handset without relying on a computer. Using the innovative features on the ip8300, users can sign-in to their accounts for quick access to e-mail communications, instant messages and buddy list updates

Casabi Partnership for Information Delivery and Optimization

• VTech has partnered with Casabi to provide an easy-to-use network-based interface for access to Internet information and services from the phone. Casabi also provides an online web portal that enables users to choose and organize the information to be sent to the handset. The Casabi portal also can be used to personalize the phone with ring tones and wallpapers for each member of the family. Upon login on the infoPhone, the user’s preferences are automatically updated on the handset.

New DECT 6.0 Technology

• The new ip8300 uses DECT 6.0 technology, which operates on the 1.9 GHz frequency. Though newly approved in the United States, this frequency has been used for many years in Europe and greatly increases call clarity and security. The Wi-Fi friendly DECT technology easily integrates into homes with Internet and Wi-Fi services, because the 1.9 GHz frequency is not used by other wireless technologies.

Wi-Fi Calling and Information Delivery

• VTech’s wf6972 802.11 Wi-Fi phone system comes with software that allows the handset to receive information wirelessly from the PC. Using 802.11 technology, users can wirelessly access news headlines, sports scores and weather updates directly on the cordless handset in addition to standard landline capabilities.
