[Asterisk-Users] Decent sub-$100 SIP phone.
Hey, all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones. I was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look like Princess phones, and I have to admit that he has a point. Some of the other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the SPA-841's wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since it'll be being used from a noisy environment (a cleanroom), the less overall static, the better. Someone suggested the Polycom 301's, but I'd lose money on them. [I'll go with them if I have to, as I'm making money elswhere, but still...] So, does anyone have any suggestions for decent sub-$100, professional-looking SIP phones? Thanks!

If you were looking at BudgeTones, you *might* want to look at the GXP-2000. A little nicer, and if you shop around you can get them for a decent price. http://snipurl.com/lfa3 for instance. The Polycom is nice, but I have found that the only Polycom that seems to do PoE correctly is the 601, which is definitely out of your sub-$100 price-range...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Decent sub-$100 SIP phone.
I have to agree with the folks recommending the GXP-2000. It's professional looking (big screen, lots of buttons, black) and functions well. It's no Cisco 7960 as far as looks go, but I think it'd work well for you. If you're charging $100 for them, I don't think you'd make any money on them, but you shouldn't lose any either (and if so, just a couple bucks). -ross -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken D'Ambrosio Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 2:28 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Decent sub-$100 SIP phone.

[Asterisk-Users] Decent sub-$100 SIP phone.
Ken, I would tell the client that you offerd phones for under $100.00 and he didnt like them so now for a diffrent phone he will have to pay more. Also I have an 841 and for it works great. I also installed one for a customer in a mechanic shop and no complaints.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Decent sub-$100 SIP phone.
Get him a 940 sipura/linksys, big difference, and I can personally say they are 200% better. I have used both and there is no comparison, from the user's end, it makes a big difference. One of the most important aspects ofa customers experience is the ease of use. If someone simply wants to make cheap calls, they do not care, but if they are looking for a good phone for a good price, the sipura 94x series are great. I personally prefer polycom/cisco. Polycom is great for multiple call handling, whereas the cisco 7960 is great for a remote worker. Greg From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dovid B.

Also functionality is IMHO more important than looks, especially in an office/work environment. It'd be like getting a quote for a Suburban, then saying you don't like it and expecting an H2 for the same price instead... I would tell them that you'll need to requote for the phones...

Ken, I have good experience with the alcatel speedtouch 2020 and 2030 phones. Should be under 100$ we sell them for about 88 euro (ex. VAT) here in the Netherlands. joash From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dovid B.
