[Asterisk-Users] Cisco phones

[Sam Bacsa]

You can get an upgrade contract with Cisco for like $8 or something to
download the SIP firmware for your phone.
 
So no, no waste of money -- unless you bought the wrong phone.

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.
