I have 3 Pingtel phones and have tested them since they were prototypes. I have had no lockups or
weird problems with them on Asterisk. I will says this about them though:
These phones are BIG on features and extensibility through Java at the cost of quality. It doesn't
take a lot of work to find that the handsets are noisy and that non-typical use can easily hose up
he phone. Also, these phones appear to leak resources which cause them to need a reboot after
being up for several weeks. The Cisco 7960 or similar phones are the most solid SIP phones that I
have worked with. I plan on selling 2 of my Pingtel's and getting a couple of the Ciscos.

Hello All,

Does anyone here have any experience with pingtel Xpressa hard phones? I am considering buying a couple. Already have Snom200s, but want something with better CTI and full duplex speakerphone.

Michael,
I used some Pingtel phones with * and ended up having to scrap them. Pingtel assured that they would work with * but when they didn't, they put it all off on Asterisk. They also didn't seem to be interested in getting them to work. In my opinion they were dishonest with through the whole deal and I wouldn't recommend doing business with them or using that phone. One persistent issue is that the phone would lock up if you had more that 2 calls even though they said it could handle 11 simultaneous calls. I talked to at least one other user who had the same issues. Everything was fine in the lab, but upon roll out the phones didn't work right.
