[asterisk-users] WiFi SIP phones

[Michael Graves]

I travel a lot for work. I frequently find hotels that have wifi, free or otherwise available. But I've yet to find it anywhere near sufficient to support voip applications. At least not good enough to 
compel me to not use my cell phone. If you have control of the host LAN then you can ensure it meets the needs of a wifi SIP phone, otherwise why bother.

Has anyone ever seen anyone making a voip call on a wif handset ata public hotspot? While that would score many geek points I doubt it would work in many places.

About 18 mo ago I bought the Hitachi Cable WIP5000 handset. It was seriously flawed so I resold it after a few months and settled on the Aastra desk phone. I do wish the cordless handsets 
were a little more like a Panasonic cordless phone...more buttons...easier to program, etc.
