[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream Quality Survey.... :P

[Brian West]

Today class we are going to be talking about the wonderful line of
GrandStream products.  Or should I say BarbieTone phones?

Who else is having MAJOR issues with the grandstream products?

How many times have you been told upgrade upgrade upgrade?

How many of you have paperweights, granted the phone is light as a feather
and couldn't weight papers down in the first place?

How about that ring tone, really dandy eh?

Who else is irked about the the GAPS crap?  It should slurp down
cfgMACADDRESS.txt and we shouldn't have to pay more for that option.

Have you had Message Waiting Indicator issues?

Have you had issues with the Hold button and flash button?

Have you had issues with sip transfers?

Has the grandstream product line made you want to hurt someone?

Care for some matches and lighter fluid?

Was the response from grandstream support able to take care of your
problems?

I own a grandstream phone and I guess I just don't use it enought to see
alot of these problems but the consensus on #asterisk is they are CRAP and
everyone should stop buying them till they get their act together.

A few people in the asterisk community have offered to write IAX firmware
for the phones but grandstream has give them the run around.  If they
can't create stable and usable firmware they should atleast let the info
out to let someone write IAX firmware for the damn thing.

BOYCOTT GRANDSTREAM

Thanks,

PS: then again you get what you pay for, 10 dollar phone with a 65 dollar
pricetag.
