[Asterisk-Users] displaying a message on the Snom 320 using sipsak

[Sven Fischer (support)]

Hi,

for the snom360 it is working the same way. Use firmware version 4.3 and be 
aware that the message is send to a specific SIP line and the phone is 
displaying it only if this SIP line is the current active line (outgoing 
identity) symbolised by a black phone (snom360) or the text in brackets 
(snom320).

Regards,

Sven Fischer
