Wasn't there a disk with it that contained drivers?

Anyway, I think it's the same as this phone:

LCD-Phone---Red>.

There are links on the website for drivers, etc.

thanks for the prompt reply Martin - only drivers on site are for skype
phones and similar
no USB audio drivers on disk - picked Tesco because of choice of area code

the phone is a Yealink device: http://www.yealink.com/

I didn't need any drivers to make it work under XP (nor Linux either
for that matter) However, I haven't used the Tesco software (I got it
as it was a cheap USB 'phone' and for nothing else)

Sure you actually need drivers?

You can get any code you want from many suppliers. Sipgate
(www.sipgate.co.uk) have free numbers for any area and no monthly charge.
Also being SIP you can use an adaptor and an ordinary phone, you aren't
tied to a computer.

There are many other providers that issue 020 numbers, not sure how many
issue local numbers beginning 3 though.

Have they sorted out the IPKALL issue, do they have a timescale, or have
they just decided they don't care if they annoy all their customers?

I am with Tesco now for the last 6 weeks. Absolutely perfect. The sound
quality that Skype couldn't offer, is offered by Tesco. To answer the IP
answer. I have seen this problem. Menu, options, audio devices. Choose USB
Audio device.
