[Asterisk-Users] Most common CODEC

     I am just starting to experiment with Asterisk.  I know that almost all
IP Phones and devices support either G.711 (alaw/ulaw) as codecs, but these do
not really provide any bandwidth savings when used throught the internet or
private links.  I have used GSM with some software phones and I like the
quality, but not many hard phones support it.  What is the most common low
bandwidth codec?  If I buy phones from several providers, what codec would you
recommend?
