[Asterisk-Users] Cisco phones

[Paul Tyreman]

I have bough a cisco phone on eBay to use with Asterisk, but according to that website, you need a contract with Cisco systems to upgrade the phone to work with SIP.

I am guessing the phone that I get won't come with that as it was used with the cisco call manager software in the past.  Can I still use this phone with Asterisk, or have I waited my money ?

Thanks, Paul.

Well, before someone jumps down your throat for asking a question that gets asked multiple times a week... ;)

On a related note...whoever maintains the page at 

http://www.asteriskpbx.com/index.php?menu=support

may want to think about putting the link to the Wiki in a much more prominent place, and make it clear that new users should look there first, since they often go through the hassle of signing up for the mailing list only to post a question for which they could have found the answer in much less time.
