Heya list, I need some advice/experience. Some of our customers are asking us about DECT solutions for their asterisk install. Some others will not go to asterisk if there won't be a DECT solution. They now have a Siemens or a Samsung PBX. Those PBX-es come with a DECT basestation and optionally repeaters etc. All those basestations speak some own protocol to the PBX, so we cannot use them

G'day. I hope this isn't off-topic for the list. I am looking at an Asterisk setup that includes cordless phones. The three choices I can see, at this stage, are: * wifi phones * an ATA and a cordless analog phone * a DECT to SIP basestation The various wifi phone options don't grab us as suitable -- they are costly, have poor battery life and even the best have pretty mixed

Hi, I have three Snom M3s at the moment but getting pretty fed up with the issues :( I am UK based and would be interested to hear of other peoples recommendations.

I have an asterisk server at home. I'm looking to replace my internal phones with sip cordless (DECT) phones. I'm now looking at the Siemens A510IP base ($90 ) and A510H handset ($40) and the Grandview DP715 base ($80) and DP710 handset ($45). The Siemens has a feature were I can also use a PSTN landline, but I not sure that's a great benefit. Has anybody tried these phones? I

For some unfathomable reason, Siemens USA doesn't offer the Gigaset IP range in the U.S. I'm particularly interested in the Gigaset S685 IP. Since it's DECT 6.0, and there's an English (UK) version, I'm thinking it should work just fine, after dealing with the walwart issue (and maybe caller ID signalling). Anyone imported one from the UK and using it in the US? for how

I see a variety of DECT 6 phones available CHEAP at costco. Is there a way to convert these to SIP? I recall someone talking about a Siemens devices that works with all DECT phones, making them SIP (I think).... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, looking for your valued input on suitable suggestions for high quality VoIP DECT phones. I am having real issues with my Snom M3s and Asterisk 1.6 and looking to a new manufacturer. -- Thanks, Phil

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

I've just ordered a Siemens Gigaset C450 IP cordless IP/DECT phone, given that it's supported by asterisk http://www.voipuser.org/review_41.html However, I see that a slightly better Gigaset S450 IP is available for only a slight price premium. Are there any user experiences with the S450 IP? -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org

Hi, I need to replace digital handsets in offices where there cabling is appareantly not Ethernet-compliant. Today's usage is to press a key to toggle between private ou public line before issuing an outgoing call. Are you aware of a DECT handset (to overcome cabling limitations) that mimic this line-key behaviour ? For instance, acceptable behaviours would be to dial number string and press

Hello, I need to setup this configuration: - asterisk as IVR; - dect phones. So basically I need a "standard set" of features: - each dect phone has its extension so I can call it directly; - handover of a call with "R" key; - if a call is not replied by someone ring all phones. I have little budget. I can choose to buy a fritz!box or a gigasect dect/ip base station. Which

I've got the following setup: IAXy -> Dect Base Station. When you dial from a SIP phone (cisco 7960), the rings with very little delay. However, if you hangup it takes 3-4 rings after hanging up before the dect base station phone stops ringing. The same applies when an incoming call is directed from PSTN FXO -> Dect Base. Is there a fix to this I've looked about on voip-info but

Anyone know of a cordless 4 line DECT phone that does't have an answering machine? Or one that costs less than $300.00 (even with answering)? Yes I tried Google but Geeee too many results still sifting thru. TIA

Hi there, in case anyone is interested, I've just taken ownership of a small home network (3 handsets) of the brand new Siemens DECT PSTN/VOIP phone. It works great with Asterisk.

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

hello, I would to define and unattended process to configure devices which are http-server-enabled, use DHCP but do not use TFTP-DCHP to configure themselves during boot. Has anyone worked on such subject ? I was thinking of something like : populating configuration file from device web pages (rendering this as generic and flexible as possible) writing a script which reads this file and set

Hi, Searching this list archives, I couldn't find a definitive answer to my question : how to send SMS to Gigaset phones ? My goal is to send Alert SMS such as "This phone system will be stopped in 5mn for maintenance" to every terminal (SIP phones and Gigaset DECT phones). (So at the moment, I'm not looking for way to send SMS from handsets). I could successfully send 1 short

Hello, My goal is to provision C450IP or S450IP models. Has anyone a hint to provision them from configuration files ? Usually, we use dedicated menu embedded inside Gigaset handset. An http server also exists but I couldn't find any dhcp-tftp combination to configure them. Any clue ? Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, did anyone already experience MMS? SMS works fine, but I can't find infos on how to send and receive MMS on a similar way with Asterisk. Thanks Daryan

Hi list, Before purchasing a number of Siemens DECT SIP phones, the Gigaset S675 IP, I read that the problems with MWI had been fixed with the latest firmware version (see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Siemens+Gigaset+S675IP). Now I'm not so sure that's the case. After setting up a network mailbox for one of these phones, as well as an Asterisk voicemail account (ext.
