Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

Who doesn't have money to buy anything else but Grandstream, I recommend PA-1688. Cheaper and better and have IAX2 protocol embeded. Talk to my friend Jack in China.. http://www.yntx.com/ Who wants to keep defending Grandstream, please send me the address and I will ship all the broken bunch

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

What issues are you having with attended call transfer? In recent months I've gone through a fair number of GXP2000 firmware versions and I can't say any of them have had a problem with attended transfer. I saw this topic and I myself the recommend the same!! Stay away from Grandstream... unle

I agree, GrandStream does seem to become the poor man's VoIP solution - making the bar for other VoIP phones very low to pass. I believe that GrandStream have a very good chance to basically being bought by a bigger company, like what happened to Sipura. What would happen then would be that peopl

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

I think the unfairness stems from Grandstreams generally being people's first IP phone - it seems like a cheap entry point to try things out. They then falsely assume everything else has to be better, especially if it has a higher price tag. Wrong. The standard for VoIP phones is total crap. An

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

Hmmm... I feel that this is a little unfair towards GrandStream and other like vendors. Any vendor on the market has issues with their firmware, I can list many: Sipura/LinkSys SPA 841 (Latest firmware): 1. Phone doesn't re-register upon network loss 2. Phone firware becomes stalled, without

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

My only experience is with their Budgetone 102. You basically get you pay for. I have since purchased a pair of Aastra 480i. Much much better. I am going to put the Budgetone on ebay, no point dealing with all the hassle. The main issue for me was actually not sofware but rather the design of t

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

Stay away from Grandstream and AddPac. These are some of the companies with undereducated software developers that have problems with understanding written english, mainly the SIP RFC documents. I learned this the hard way, wasting half a year with helping them fix problems which shouldn't be t

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stay away from Grandstream!

Yes, our mistake that we make order directly from GS. Should make via some reseller instead. About rate: 2/11 phones dead. Regarding the phone quality, it looks a bit cheap (I know it's really cheap), some buttons are worn out after few months of intensive use. Now maybe we'll consider to buy

Maybe a better way to say it is "Know the limitations of the GS phones and don't try and use them outside of those limits." Don't buy ANY phone you've not tested and used yourself for use by a client. My GS phone has worked fine for years. Even if it were to fail and had to be replaced buying two
