I have 6 broken Grandstreams- out of an order of 8. After having tested over a dozen IP phone products, I found that Grandstream was the worst choice of the group.
I would never recommend that anyone buys this product unless they are using it for non-essential use. To put it simply: Grandstream phones are complete crap. -GSR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2003 6:43 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream Quality Survey.... :P > Today class we are going to be talking about the wonderful line of > GrandStream products.
