[asterisk-users] Grandstream Budgetone phones don't show alphanumeric caller right

[Ricardo Carvalho]

Grandstream support just answered me saying that:
"BT100/200 LCD does not supports alphanumeric caller ID display. You may 
want to try GXP-2000.".
It's confirmed! Future firmwares won't support that feature! :(

Thanks to all that replied,

Regards,
Ricardo.
