[asterisk-users] Siemens Gigaset S685IP Review

Sounds great, especially where you say that you got MWI to work with  
Asterisk. I bought a couple of S675IP units a few months ago and have  
never been able to get MWI to work. The relevant lines that I've added  
to my phone's SIP config are:

    subscribemwi=yes
    mailbox=1000 at phones,1234

I'm using Asterisk v1.4.19. AFAIK, this is a firmware problem that,  
according to voip-info.org, also affects the c470ip (same firmware),  
but Siemens has yet to fix.

Cheers,
