[Asterisk-Users] Looking for a wireless phone... wifi ortraditional wireless ?

[James H. Thompson]

The Vtech is tied to Vonage (according to their press release)
but I believe that the Uniden is not.
The Uniden press release says:

 Uniden introduces 2005 technology partners Lingo, BroadVoice(R) and SunRocket(SM). Proving interoperability with these Internet phone service providers will allow consumers to use one of these VoIP platforms with Uniden's UIP1868 as part of a complete and cost-effective consumer VoIP offering. 

So I'm guessing that the Uniden phone is not locked to a specific provider.

    Uniden and Vtech both just announced cordless phones with SIP ATAs built into the base station.
    You get better range and battery life compared to a WiFi phone.

      An unflattering zyxel review:

      I can't help but think my questions are out of place on this list... I'm
      asking questions about SIP phones and everyone else is talking about
      asterisk.  Sorry.
