[Asterisk-Users] Analog Cordless Phone Recommendations
Hi all, I've just added a TDM10B (1port FXS) to my Asterisk box and want to use this extension with a cordless phone. In particular I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a phone that will perhaps be able to detect voicemail waiting on the Asterisk server? I'm guessing I should be able to get asterisk to generate a stuttered dial tone when a message is waiting, so it's just a matter of finding such a cordless phone that can detect this. Cheers, Chris Lee

All the features are functional: MWI, CallerID(both name and number passed by Asterisk), CallWaiting and so on. The only thing that does not work (an I thing that some changes in callerid.c file have to be done) is the CallWaiting CallerID (it displays just 'Unknown", but you can hear the CallWaiting signal. I'm very happy overall with this phone. BR, Dan
I don't think there is really an issue with 'which' analog phone, the only issue (I am aware of) with interoperability is in relation to CallerID. In the US it seems FSCK (I understand from my Aussie colleague that FSCK is also used in Australia) is always used and across Europe it seems to be DTMF but the actual format of the DTMF varies from country to country. Features such as stuttered dial tone are generated by the FXS interface. Like Dan I use ATA186's which generates the stuttered dialtone when messages are waiting and its completely separate from the handset. I have no experience with the TDM10B but I am confident it can do all that the ATA can do ... FYI: I am lucky enough to be using the B&O BeoCom 2 which works great with the ATA.
