After fruitless searching on the web for what I want, I thought I'd ask here!

I'd like to use Skype on my PC to chat to people, but I don't want to be limited to being 3 metres from my PC (all the headsets come with a 3m cable..). What are the options that allow me to relax in an armchair using Skype? I've seen cordless skype phones for £90 that plug into my router, but surely it is possible to get either a lond lead headset (5 or 6m would do) or a bluetooth headset cheaper than that and plug it into my PC? Could I even use my mobile phone bluetooth headset? I've already got a Belkin bluetooth USB dongle.

thanks.

How can I link that through to Skype? I haven't evver used my headset, but can I install it and use it as an input device for Windows?

If it works like a proper soft phone you need to pipe the audio input/output of Skype to the virtual sound device thats created by the bluetooth dongle drivers.
