The phones are for internet calling, from companies like Yahoo, Skype, etc.

There are several ‘skype’ handsets available which plug into the USB. I have also seen a couple of phones that do both landline and internet.

Have a look on one the main online computer sellers ebuyer.com etc and type in VOIP (voice over IP)
