After reading about these $75 SIP phones on this list, I purchased a couple for evaluation. They do work with asterisk - and are good value for money, but as somebody commented: they are not yet perfect. I just wondered if anybody had managed to get either the message-waiting indicator or the conference button to work?

I've just received my Grandstream phones today- they work and sound great. However, I still haven't been able to get the conf or message waiting to work either. I have version 1.0.3.31 installed on my phones. The release notes (included in the box) say that there is a field in the web configuration page for setting up the message button. I don't see this on my phones. What version are you using? -GSR -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Skuse, Phil Sent: 23 April 2003 17:51 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream BudgeTone 100 After reading about these $75 SIP phones on this list, I purchased a couple for evaluation.

Greetings, I got my budgetone and talked to a contact at grandstream about the issues mentioned in this thread. Apparently there is a new HTML page that is needed by the phone to apply the new fields and settings. The code supports it, the interface does not. Additionally they said the MWI indicator is disabled in this version of the code rev. and I believe the same is the case for the conf. The Message button CAN be configured to dial right into a voicemail extension, but you have to have the new HTML page to config it AND have the phone off hook before pressing it. I would recommend contacting grandstream for this updated HTML file. Maybe suggest they put it as a link on their web page. Just a hint, it needs to be all lowercase in order for the phone to pull it from your tftp server. I like the "early dial" feature that Mark talked them into. It attempts a dial on the cumulative number as each digit pressed until it fulfils a valid extension. This way you don't have to wait for a timeout for it to dial. Also another tip that was not intuitively obvious, the redial button is also the dial button instead of the #. My last observation is that if you have the handset off hook and put a call on hold DON'T HANG UP! it will disconnect the call ;-). My $.02 worth on the topic. Otherwise for $75 it's a good value. I can't wait for them to get all the kinks worked out.

My boot code is 2003-03-15 (1.0.0.5) and my phone code is 2003-04-14 (1.0.3.31). I also don't have those fields in the web configuration, or the Early-Dial one. I've emailed grandstream asking where I can download the latest software since there is no link on their website. (Although the software I have is only ten days old!) -----Original Message----- From: Greg Renouf [mailto:grenouf@well.com] Sent: 23 April 2003 18:23 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream BudgeTone 100 I've just received my Grandstream phones today- they work and sound great.
