10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It depends how good phone do you need. Grandstream
phones are cheapest on market. &nbsp;Sometimes, when you are dealing with something
cheap you might think that it&#8217;s garbage and this is why it&#8217;s cheap.
In case of Grandstream IP Phones, I would say they are normal, they have all
basic functionalities which are required for small * implementation. However,
if you need excellent great phone, you definitely need to go for Cisco IP
Phone, which will cost you much more. </span></font></p>

ports on your hub/switch then you need to with BT102 model, because it has 2 Ethernet
ports, one for LAN and one for PC, so it is acting as a small 1 port hub. It
supports NAT, so you can call behind NAT, all you need is correctly make
configuration of your Asterisk. Phones have different colors: black, white and
