[Asterisk-Users] pingtel phones
Hello all, Hope I am not too of topic here - but it cross's the phone/asterisk boundary. I have been playing with a few soft phones - noticed that pingtel seemed to be highly recommended across previous postings. I have been using xten - which is a great phone but seems a bit limited in its functionality - which is why I am now looking at pingtel. Problem is I cannot get it to register properly against asterisk - I am know at a bit of a loss - can someone point me/let me have a simple howto to get asterisk working with pingtel softphone. BTW they work in an unregistered mode - but obviously need the registering part so asterisk can place a call back to the softphone. Thanks Nick ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

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.

Andy, Thanks for the feedback! I ended up buying one phone on Ebay for $202.50, which seems like a good price. It would be used in a very small office under light load. Perhaps I can get it nto work suffient for my needs. Otherwise, back to Ebay to sell the beast ;-) Michael On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 10:42:22 -0600, Andy Hester wrote: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Hello All, >> >>Does anyone here have any experience with pingtel Xpressa hard phones?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Pingtel Phones?
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. Andy Hester wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, Does anyone here have any experience with pingtel Xpressa hard phones?
