[Asterisk-Users] Vtech/Vonage Wireless Phone system

[Michael Graves]

I currently have one of the Hitachi WIP-5000 SIP phones. I've been
using it off and on for about four months. Just one as an initial test.
While it's pretty good it does have some minor issue, or they could be
issues related to my wlan access points. Whatever the case, it drops
off lan periodically causing a silent period in the current call. I've
had to extend the qualify setting to 3000 or it gets reported as not
available now and again.

My next test will be the Aastra/Sayson 480 cti SIP deskphone with
cordless handset. It costs about the same as the Hitachi phone on its
own. I don't think that the cordless handset is truly SIP/Wifi based.
But that may not matter if its well integrated into the phone.
