Hi folks: I know it's come up a few times before, but I need some more detail. I'm looking for a SIP DECT (cordless) phone for North American installations. I've heard only of the Siemens Gigaset S450/C450 phones. Apparently these aren't sold for use in NAm, even though they're supposed to be legal (in the United States, anyway). On top of that, I understand they have some annoying issues anyway. Can anyone suggest a solid alternative DECT SIP phone that is available in North America? Cheers, -Stephen-

The handset still does not support 'Message Waiting Indicator", but does show missed calls. I am using this model, the audio IMO is superb and would recommend it. Failing that, there is the Aastra 480i-CT, (which is designed for the US market), but this includes a normal deskphone. If this as good as the other Aastra products, then you can't go too far wrong.

I would reccomend the Kirk DECT gateway. It is SIP capable and avilable for N America. We have a setup with the Skinny ( chan_sccp ) protocol and in Sweden, but I wouldn't expect any problems in NA. Our customer have used it for a while now. Regards: H?kan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

At $70US, I suspect they are the least expensive SIP DECT phones available. http://asterisk.drunkcoder.com/hacks/ats-config/ -- Tilghman

You can get very good coverage and call volume by adding internal and external access points. http://www.aastra.com/cps/rde/xchg/SID-3D8CCB73-F1EF48FA/04/hs.xsl/21410.htm -- Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V.

Is there a way to fax with these phones without Lingo? How does Lingo do it (over the phone's Internet connection), if Asterisk can't?> http://asterisk.drunkcoder.com/hacks/ats-config/Your server seems very slow, often timing out.> -- > Tilghman >-- (C) Matthew Rubenstein
