It's excellent home phone. I wouldn't use it in a business environment. No hold, no one-touch voicemail. However, it works great! /R -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Colin Anderson Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 10:25 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [asterisk-users] OT: Opinions on Aastra 480i CT?

>It's excellent home phone. I wouldn't use it in a business environment.No>hold, no one-touch voicemail. However, it works great!aw crap, that's a biggie but I think I can work around it, teach the user to dial *98 for voicemail, *700 for park and hash to transfer, currently the users dial feature-9-8-1 for voicemail right now so they are used to doing things the hard way. But a dedicated hold and transfer button would've been nice. The users' big requirement is inbound /outbound / missed call logging, how is that?

Thanks for the feedback. More questions: 1. How's the range on the wireless? 2. Is there a soft key that can be programmed on the wireless handset? 3. Can I make a soft key basically do anything, any keystroke? 4. How's the call log detail? -----Original Message----- From: Mike Clark [mailto:mike@infoanywhere.com] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 10:03 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Opinions on Aastra 480i CT?

The speaker phone is good and you have all the regular functions like transfer and hold. -- Carlos Chavez Director de Tecnolog?a Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V.

The cordless is fine, about the range of my old Panasonic cordless. Sound quality is good and the speaker phone seems good. Plays fine with Asterisk. Even though it says many handsets per base, in reality you should probably limit it to 1 per base as the system can only handle 2 active voice streams at a time and annoyingly enough, only one of them can be G.729, something about the phone does not have enough processor power to encode 2 G.729 streams at a time. Easy to configure from a TFTP server. Ira
