2.0 out of 5 stars Just what the SIP Dr. ordered, December 15, 2009

Update 3/22: The phone locks up and does not function, it seems fine, ad your voip number will ring, but the handset just sits there silently... we are unable to use these phones as they are not reliable enough.

-------------
I wanted a phone for SIP trunking, not for Skype.
That is exactly what i got, this phone does not do Skype as far as i can tell and i am happy about that.

The phone has a very strong wifi receiver, it picked up far more wifi points around my home than any other wifi device i have.

The setup was a bit complex, but in the end it was not too bad, just that VoIP has confusing temrs that seem to overlap one another for settings.

The call clarity is GREAT, the ear peice is perhaps just slightly tinny but overall i rate this unit as being quite good.

It does show some signs of being a cheaper no name brand, the display flashes in places during certain menu surfing, but it's nothing really just trivial. I do wonder though if it wil last through the ages (haha). For what we wanted, it is perfect. I will order 3 or 4 more so that we cover all our needs and have a couple of spares waiting.

It's a nice size, i don't want some nano phone anyway, and pretty light.

I use it with callcentric and it works just fine.

Well I was looking for the absolute cheapest wifi VoIP phone on the net and I think I found it.

It works as it says it does and connected to my Wifi WEP lan without too many issues. does it support WPA2? NO!

It has a web interface built in on the phone which I was able to access but couldn't change the settings (which was the point of having the web access onto it) so had to do all the configuration through the phones keypad which was annoying but it could still be done this way. I think it either didn't support the browser (which I tried a few) and/or it was because I am using windows 7.

It has an address book which is useful, but can't sync it to my PC for one reason or another, It should be possible though.

Phone quality however is very quiet. In talking you have to talk very loudly to be heard clearly (very loudly for me could be a normal volume for an American voice however as I am a bit more softly spoken...)

The phone takes a couple seconds to answer when you press the answer key, this isn't a problem once you remember to think about it before answering.

The battery doesn't last long at all, perhaps 24 hours with minimal use but if you talk for a couple hours it will either be flat or almost.

A couple times it disconnected while in conversation with someone though this could have been our SIP provider, hard to tell...

The phone has also 'crashed' a few times too which required a battery removal to get it operational quickly, it could have been left for a while and may come right but thats no good if you need to make a phone call.

The cradle for the phone is a little fiddly to insert correctly I inserted it thinking it was on charge but the phone wasn't touching the terminals and it never charged. very annoying, though now I check that its on properly.

The range of the wifi though has been good, having a good positioned wifi receiver helps though.

It has a facility to run Java applications but can't find out how to load my own, probably through the web interface which I can't get to work!!!

I also couldn't find any info about this phone online even on the manufacturers website there was nothing it seemed!

All in all I'd give this a 5/10 as it does work 90% of the time but has its quirks.

I would recommend this if you are tech savvy on not interested in random problems happening in some circumstances (may be once a week it will do something dumb)

Good Luck,

This phone seemed like the perfect solution for having a wireless VoIP phone, but unfortunately it did not support WPA. Seemed pretty cheaply built, too.
