[asterisk-users] Siemens Gigaset S685IP Review

I have German units too (of the S675IP), but it's easy to switch the  
menu language to English. If the pre-recorded messages are still in  
German (and I believe they are), then I don't think anyone has  
noticed, since I let Asterisk do my voicemail for me. However, if you  
want to use the unit's integrated answering machine -- in English -- I  
would think that would just be a question of finding and installing a  
UK firmware version... unless maybe the pre-recorded messages are  
separate files.

Cheers,

Jaap

PS -- I opted for the German versions because they cost significantly less.
