[asterisk-biz] Small business question from developing nation

[Sam Tam]

I have personally used and sold many VoIP ATA or IP Phone that is made in
China. From my experience they are very good for the its price. And the
standard of quality if getting very close to Snom or grandstream etc.
Of course they are no way close to cisco but they are getting there.

if you are after some cheap IP Phone or ATA please feel free to drop me an
email off the list and I will do you some samples or quote

Where did you get the $21,000 quote for 200 PAP2T units? Typical price
is less than half of that.
