Hi Reza, I am using Asterisk 1.4.25 currently running on OpenWrt (pid =
1077)
nothing special on the Asterisk side, on the phone I tried both H263 and
H264 they both work fine, as long as the other side using the same H263 or
H264.

type=friend
user=2003
secret=Secret
host=dynamic
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=h263
allow=h264
allow=h263p
callgroup=1

call-limit=99
allowsubscribe=yes
qualify=yes

For details please refer to the following thread

besides the normal voice/video calls, I am using the phone at my bedside as
morning alarm; my sons of 5 and 11 are playing with the phones with other
features such as video recording/voice recordings, even web surfing, they
consider the phones as great toys as well.
Thanks,
Chris Chen
