Hi, I'm considering giving the Grandstream BudgeTone-102 phones a try. I've been using Cisco 7960's to date, but the low cost of the Grandstream phones are hard to ignore. I have two questions: 1) Does the message waiting indicator on the BudgeTone's work with Asterisk? 2) The one line 12-digit LDC concerns me a bit. Is the LCD able to display both the CID number and name on the LDC? How does that work, does it toogle between the two? I know the BudgeTone-102D has a 2 line LCD, but I don't believe the 102D is available yet. I've searched google for these two questions, but they never seemed to be fully answered (I've seen Q1 answered both ways). I'm hoping some of the kind people on this list who use BudgeTone phones might be able to help. Thanks, -Jon

[Asterisk-Users] BudgeTone-102 MWI&CID with Asterisk
Hi!> I'm considering giving the Grandstream BudgeTone-102 phones a try.You might also want to take a look at the Swissvoice products (www.swissvoice.net). As far as I have been able to judge from the web site those phones offer considerably more for the same price. Next to that I'd be very glad to hear about any users that have played and used either an "IP 10" or "IP 20", preferably together with Asterisk! Note: The IP 10 is scheduled to receive support for SIP next to MGCP and H.323 while the IP 15/20 is apparently older and is not planned for a SIP upgrade. For both model lines the display appears to be much better than that of the Grandstream phones - which are, by the way, also lacking an on-board phone book if I am not mistaken (direct ip phone-2-ip phone calls must be a great pain due to that)! Greetings, Philipp von Klitzing
