Verballs are crazy looking critters that plug into a spare USB port on your computer. So much more than just a desktop nic nac, Verballs are the ultimate customisable desktop call alarm. These crazy critters can be programmed to talk while you type and chat to your friends for free over the Skype network. If your friends don’t use skype then don’t worry, these adaptable demons will also work with other voice over internet protocol systems such as Yahoo, MSN or AOL. Not just a clever name.... Verballs are giant fluffy creatures that act as call alarms when people call you over the Skype networks. Skype software is free to download and allows you to make free calls to other Skype users; as well as cheap calls to mobiles and landlines!

As well as wacky wiggling hands each of the Verballs characters has a pair of horns that flash when there’s an incoming call or when your chatting to your mates. For all you music lovers you can also download ringtones from the Verballs website studio and sync each of the verballs to sing your MP3’s to you! Downloaded ringtones can then be assigned to different friends to help you identify who’s calling. There really is nothing funnier than seeing a Verball doing a shaking Stevens hand shake while it's singing along to 50 cent. There are five cool Verballs to collect including Striker (footballing genius), Slick (Also known as the Boss), Mr V (underground hip hop legend and king of Bling), Baby (cute orphan critter) and Britney (the new WAG in town). With a feature list like this, talking is just the tip of the Verballs horns.
