Basically, pretty much all the 2 line cordless systems I've seen come with a built in digital answering system that I'll never use, the main problem with this is that these units don't support VMWI (visual message waiting indicator) with telco supplied voicemail. This is a problem because I'll be setup an Asterisk system in the next month or so to handle my 2 analog and 1

Seeking recommendations on handsets for use with Asterisk. I've been looking at the Aastra 480i CT because of its cordless handset and also the new Linksys SPA-942. Anyone using either one of these with comments on them? Any other thoughts on good reasonably priced handsets? This is for just a couple of people who work from home offices and will be connecting to an Asterisk server hosted

Anyone have practical experience using inexpensive GAP-compliant DECT handsets with the Snom M3 basestation? When I asked Snom support, the answer was that 'basic functionality should work', but they didn't elaborate. I'm _guessing_ that means registering/unregistering with the base, making calls, and receiving calls (including presenting caller ID). They also stated that they

I'm looking for a usb cordless handset to pair with a softphone ( probably ekiga) on a pc linked to an asterisk server. I've loooked at the bluetooth headsets, but they seem overkill for just home phone extensions. I've found a number of handsets that work with skype, but they seem locked into skype. I've also found the Uniden WIN1200, which works with MS Messenger. It

I'm testing new cordless Motorola phone and the handset is constantly displaying message: MSG WAITING OFF According to the manual this message suppose to go off but it doesn't Is it something that I can control via * ? -- #Joseph

Now that I actually try and google for it, I can't find any dual mode GSM/DECT handsets, only pages telling me that they exist without any actual information!!! Does anyone know of any such handsets? (and even better, ones that are available in Australia) I've searched a few of the major gsm manufacturers (nokia, Panasonic, sonyericsson) but their web sites are absolutely pathetic to the

Hi folks, I wonder if any of you out there are using Siemens S685IP base station(s) (with S68H handsets) on Asterisk and experiencing problems with SIP registrations where the SIP extensions do not ring and peers become unreachable after a period of time. Symptoms are rather sporadic, but as described, SIP extensions being unreachable from Asterisk perspective. Also experienced 'not

Folks, I have a TDM400 with an FXS module. I'm having some trouble ringing some phones attached to the device. I have a real el cheapo handset that cost me about 9UKP. It works fine, I plug it into the Wildcard and call the channel and it rings. I have tried plugging in my BT Diverse 3016 cordless phone but it will not ring, although I can call out from it. I have also tried my GPO 332L

I have been looking at chan_bluetooth, so far being unable to make it compile with Asterisk SVN trunk. I was wondering about the different ways it can be used. What I have read so far implies two possibilities: 1. Asterisk pretends to be a handsfree unit, and can use the cell phone for placing calls over the mobile network, or answer inbound calls from the mobile network. 2. Asterisk

I have a client that want to try the softphone with USB handsets route to see if hardphones will even be needed. I always push for hardphones (Polycom) so I am not sure about softphones or USB handsets. This is going to be for a 300+ seat call center onsite and many offsite, I plan on using OpenVPN for the offsite machines. Any advice on softphones, handsets, or practical experience with

Hi, I'm relatively new to Asterisk, and I'm looking to build a tiny system for home use. For context, at home I've got a line from Vonage (last I heard, they won't give out SIP credentials and let you use random hardware/software), which comes out as an analog line with a dialtone, and I'll be treating that as if it were a regular PSTN connection. I also work from home,

Hello, This is not exactly an Asterisk question, but I was encouraged to seek advice here anyway. The kindness of the * open source community is legendary :) I am getting going with an Asterisk 1.2 box, and I'm having trouble getting good quality transmit sound using handsets with VoIP phones. I'm primarily trying to focus on SPA-941, but also experimenting with Aastra 9113i and Uniden

Does anyone know where I can get replacement handsets for the Polycom SoundPoint IP phones? Or does anyone have any they want to sell? From the looks of it you have to buy a whole new phone to get a new handset. My vendor, TriaTechCOA, told me I had to buy a whole new phone to get a handset, which is pretty ridiculous. Maybe there is a more sane vendor I should be buying from? Thanks, -Ryan

Hello list, I wondered if those of you using Polycom phones could recommend a decent cord detangler. I've had quite a few handsets get the tabs broken off in the jack from cord detanglers due to the recessed nature of the jack. This seems like it would work but I wanted some opinions before I go buy some: http://www.voiplink.com/Extended_Handset_Cord_Detangler_p/detangler-e.htm I

hello all- has anyone had any problems with the handsets on BT100's. Just picked one up for my lab and the speakerphone works great but I am only getting one way audio (incoming) from the handset. Since the speakerphone works fine, I can't think of any config. reasons why the handset wouldn't other than a faulty handset. Any thoughts or experiences? Jason Kawakami Technical

Can anyone recommend a good cordless user-configurable SIP hardphone that is readily available in the states and doesn't cost $300? There seem to be a plethora of decent and affordable corded phones (like from Grandstream) but the search for a cordless unit seems elusive. I purchased a vtech 8100 online only to discover after receiving it that it is locked to vonage service. Thank you.

Hi Folks, Looking for feedback on the cordless phones with the Aastra 480i CT handset. Is voice quality comparable to standard consumer residential 2.4GHz cordless phones in the US$30 - $50 price range, or better/worse? How about handset and speakerphone quality for the main phone? Seems like there have been various big issues with firmware in past, but is it pretty stable now? Thanks,

Hello On a Sipura SPA-841 handset (and also at other end) you hear a sea wave like sound - it gets louder then softer and continually repeats. I don't remember hearing this when using other handsets. But what is this effect? How can I reduce it? Angus

I just bought an Aastra 480i CT for a client who needed cordless capabilities in their office. I'm trying to set up the base station and cordless handset in my office first. I'm able to connect the phone to my Asterisk box and make outgoing calls from either the base station or the handset - to extensions within my office as well as numbers outside the network. But I can't
