[Asterisk-Users] My Grandstream works, but my X-Lite doesn't:no sound after 5sec

[Uriel Carrasquilla]

Paul:
in your opinion, which hardware SIP phone is the best price/performance
device after taking into account support costs?
Regards,
Uriel

Our experience with the Budget Tones 101have been poor as well. The
devices seem to die after a day or two (even with the new firmware) and
then need to be rebooted. On occasion, the device needs to be literally
unplugged and plugged back in as even the reset doesn't work.

There are some nice features, but we have all but given up on them for
a production environment. Relative to the Cisco ATAs and other devices
we are using, the price/performance ratio is not there, particularly
from a support cost perspective. If they get the thing to be more
stable then we will reconsider them.
