[asterisk-users] using Wifi smartphones as SIP clients

[Bart Coninckx]

The phone I pointed to is a WiFi phone, the M9 is a DECT phone. 
Different animal. The question is regarding using WiFi as the WiFi 
infrastructure is already in place.

I understand smartphones is not a good option, but what about these WiFi 
SIP phones?

thx!
