You can send address books to the phone in standard vcard format (though for some reason it insists on getting them in PC line break format rather than unix format). For client deployments with a significant number of Gigasets we tell them to update the phonebook on a web interface, then hit "publish" which pushes it out to each handset using a simple curl call.

Does asterisk provide this SIP message? Looking around at the collection of Snom 370s and 320s here, all of them claim to have varying number of missed calls from when the call's been answered from another in the ring group. Or is there perhaps a config setting to enable this I've not spotted?
