Hi Uri,

You cannot assume it. You gotta check in the particular SIP phone datasheet
what is (are) the supported method(s) for DTMF transport.

The options, with SIP, are:
Inband with RFC2833 - most SIP phones do support it as of today
Outband with INFO or NOTIFY - a small number of SIP phones support either
one as of today.

PS: some will say that RFC2833 is *not* an inband method. It is, in my
opinion. Because the RFC2833 method uses the RTP protocol, which handles
*media* and not signaling. And RTP is never forwarded to SIP proxies - while
SIP INFO (or NOTIFY) messages use to be routed through the proxy.

Say I use it to carry DTMF from the user to the server. Can I expect
that my (typical) phone would support it?

What`s your assumption for the function of INFO? 
The INFO itself does not have real functional meaning, the content of
the message and the call flow related is the key.
Normally, INFO is used to carry ISUP message for SIP-T.

Would that be a fair assumption to make that most of the SIP phones in
the market support the SIP INFO method?
