Idle curiosity: I like the look and feel of the Grandstreams, but it's been my experience that the speakerphones suck (esp. when compared to the pretty damn flawless Polycoms). I've used the BT-100/101 and GS-2000; have any of their newer models changed that?

Hi, What is out there in terms of SIP enabled handsfree speakerphones? Looking for something that works well and also fits a low budget. I am used to using a Cisco 7940. It is a great phone but a bit expensive. Thought about the Polycom SoundPoint 300 until I realized that it does not include speakerphone functionality. Thanks, Adi

Hello all, I'm looking to troubleshoot some echo issues and possibly "studdering" while using the speakerphone with the Intellitouch ITC3002. On the hardware end, i have a 2621 setup as the router with some policy maps for qos, and a 2900XL with cos priority set to 5. I have setup created 2 vlans currently (really small office), 1 for corp/data, and 2 voice vlan. Asterisk is on

FYI, spoke with Grandstream this morning, the GXP-2000 release has been delayed again. Looking like April now before these hit the street. -- Cory Andrews Senior Partner VOIPSupply.com +++++++++++++ V: 800.398.VOIP X22 F: 716.630.1548 E: Cory@VOIPSupply.com

We've had an issue since we went live nearly two years ago on Asterisk where people complain about not being able to talk while someone else is talking. I had assumed for a very long time this was because of the phones we went live with (Grandstream GXP-2000's) and for the longest time I believed this was a speakerphone problem only. Last week during budgets, a request to buy new

Guys. I just downloaded the recent firmware for GS GXP 2000 and I must say the phone works great but... How do you make the conf button work?????? Anybody done that? Also, with great dissapointment I must ask, where is ILBC support? GS web page mentions it and the manual says it supports it almost using bolds :) soooooo where is it???? Any light on this?

I'm using Asterisk 1.2.3 and PANASONIC KX-TS208W - Speakerphone does not work with it. It works fine when you pick up the handset. Anyone experinced this problem before, the speaker works fine with Verizon line. The phone is behind a Linsys router RT31P2. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am looking to replace all of the old "Bell" (POTS) phones in my home and office with IP phones. As you can imagine I don't have a huge budget to work with but I want phones that will provide acceptable voice quality and durability. There are basically three categories as I see it 1. satellite phones (low cost, low function) 2. primary domestic phone (good quality, POE capable,

Hi All, I can get Grandstream 100 SIP phones for EUR 75. I'm not sure about the pricing for these in Europe, so I'd like to hear from people here whether that is a reasonable price for them?

Hi all, I have to buy some IP phones. Previously I have used Grandstream GXP-2000, Budgetone 101 and Linksys SPA-841. I always had problems with sound quality with all of them, and I was always of the opinion that it were the phones which were not good. In GXP-2000 deployment of about 50 phones, some work good, some have sound problems like words missing, clicking sounds when talking, and some

Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced IP phone that works well with *, has a decent (full duplex, echo canceling) speakerphone, has at least two line appearances, and can transfer / conference reliably? The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but: 1. Most seem to be toys. 2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics. 3. When one seems technically promising, e.g.

I have upgraded the GXP-2000 to the newest firmware 1.0.1.12<http://1.0.1.12>and the phone is much more usable However, I still have two slight sound quality issues: 1) There is static on the line at all times. It is not that noticable to me, but when I make calls out the PSTN the person on the other end hears it. If I use a Cisco ATA with an analog phone and call the same person again

I need to provide a 80 people office with VOIP. I want to commit to one vendor Polycom or Aastra. Price of the phones is not a factor in the decision. The quality of the phones is the factor. Some of the features that I am evaluating on are: (arranged in order of priority) 1. Sound quality 2. complete product line with conference phone and receptionist phone (not on Aastra) 3. cordless (not on

I'm using a few GXP-2000 with firmware 1.0.2.13 and everything seems to be working fine. However, there are a couple of issues I'd like to know if are possible: 1) Even though the phone has 4 line appearances, if I am speaking on a line, the phone can no longer receive phone calls. I can manually select another line and make calls, but when Asterisk tries to send a call to it, I

Hi, Has somebody experiences with the Grandstream GXP2020 / 2000 phones in a business graded installation (with really traffic on .... not 3 calls a day ;-) ) Of course with Asterisk PBX (1.4.1 or 1.4.11 or 1.4 in generall) Thanks! Kind Regards, Erik

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,

Just found out my maintanence agreement with fonality does not cover phones over a year old. So, of course, they don't repaird phones, only replace them. Very worldly of them... Anyone know where I can get an Aastra 480i repaired? The phone works on speakerphone, but when you lift the receiver offthe hook, the phone does not engage. There is something wrong with the "hook". The

I have been struggling with this issue for about a year now. There were just too many IP phones to choose from at all sorts of price points and not enough information about any of them. Now I am looking at the situation again and if anything it has gotten worse. There are even more phones and all sorts of opinions. For every person that says phone x is great there is someone else complaining

I have had 2 GXP-2000 for a while now and been slowly following the firmware releases made by Grandstream and am now up to 1.1.0.13. This version works really well on these 2 original phones (MAC's 00:0B:82:06:xx:xx), so I went ahead and ordered another 2 phones (MAC's 00:0B:82:09:xx:xx). One of these I upgraded to 1.1.0.13 (it came with 1.1.0.5) and pressed it into use. The Speaker

Maybe I'm loosing my mind but I've just noticed that if I put a call on speakerphone and I press speakerphone again it hangs up the call, you would expect it to take the call off speaker back on to the hand piece. I'm using V 1.0.5.22 firmware. Is there any other way to turn off speakerphone I'm missing? Cheers, Dean -------------- next part -------------- An
