It is a real pain to upgrade to sip on a Cisco. Voip Supply charges an
extra $100 to do it for you

you need a sip license for each phone.

You may also want to look at Polycom phones they are less of a headache
than the cisco phone.  They are both good on quality, look and feel of
a business class phone.
