The voice quality is a lot better than skype (at least via fring) HOWEVER: keep in mine that as the phone is small, so is it's wifi antenna (and there is spacial diversity), so and wifi reception is not so good (at least when comparing to a laptop). It is ok if you are in your office or home, but if you are traveling, it may not work very well in all the rooms of the hotel or in every spot in the cafe. cheers, erez > ___ > Linux-il mailing list > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il > ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Yes I know that it works for many. But personally when I tried to connect the E71 or any soft phone either to an Australian VoIP provider (PennyTel) or my own Asterisk box in the US (which someone else setup for me, I since then backed it up and stopped maintaining) it just didn't work.

I use it often, usually works well... the only problem for people which have a lot of latency is that the nokia(or wlan) adds another ~100ms).

Re: ot: looking for cheap/free sip phones
I have an E71 for over a year now and never managed to make a useful phone call with it. I find VoIP settings on it (and in general, VoIP terminology and jargon) to be very confusing... I tried also multiple soft phones to no avail... 2010/1/8 Ohad Levy : > If you have a Nokia E or N series, you can use that instead. > > Ohad > > On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 3:44 PM, geoffrey mendelson > wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I'm playing around with asterisk and am looking for some cheap or free SIP >> phones.

Re: ot: looking for cheap/free sip phones
...and if you craft your dialplan correctly in asterisk, you can use the internal phone's contact list (dialing 9 for outbound dialing is lame). Highly recommended.

Re: ot: looking for cheap/free sip phones
If you have a Nokia E or N series, you can use that instead.

ot: looking for cheap/free sip phones
Hi, I'm playing around with asterisk and am looking for some cheap or free SIP phones. They don't have to be new, work well, etc, just be able to connect to an ethernet network and work with asterisk. Jerusalem area and free prefered, but I can pay a small amount for them.
