Re: [ilugd] Looking for USB based SIP Phone
From: Navjot Kukreja [EMAIL PROTECTED] You mentioned a chinese dual mode phone. where in delhi can i get such chinese phones? and...do i ask for a dual mode, wifi enabled phone or is there some other 'market term' for them? navjot, i got mine from hong kong (ordered it online) from a company called vanaccess. In delhi, your best bet is to go to gaffar market in karol bagh. i am not sure what to ask for; you could ask for a phone with wi-fi.

But seeing the convergence of GSM Phones having WiFi Ethernet and the possibility of using a Soft SIP Phone, seems to be an attractive proposition. On second thoughts, is similar thing also possible using Bluetooth based SIP Phones. We can have Bluetooth Access Points on the network, that way probably cheaper phones can have sip connectivity. Nokia N Series / E Series phones having WiFi Ethernet + SIP, are still not affordable enough. anand ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] Looking for USB based SIP Phone
I presume you connected the E-Series phone on a local Wireless Ethernet connection? Is it any E-Series phone? What was the specific Hi, I can second that fact. I have been using Fring on an E65, and have been able to connect to Skype, Asterisk based SIP server sitting at home, Freeworld dialup server.

Re: [ilugd] Looking for USB based SIP Phone
E50 doesn't have a SIP client, I have confirmed that on my handset. E61 onwards might have. I wanted to do something similar to what you want here. I have finally settled for a Linksys PAP2T ATA, which I got for USD 45. ATAs connect to your LAN and let you use a normal phone as an IP phone to log on to any asterisk server. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
