Just wondering what a good cordless VOIP solution is?
How about an old android phone? Doesn't need a SIM card, just WIFI and CSIP or similar to connect to your Asterisk server. If you have one that can be rooted and install Lineage or some other AOSP "ROM" on it, you won't have to run proprietary software at all. A cheap new one would work too, and you can get them for less than some gigaset handsets. You can probably beg discarded phones gathering dust in drawers from people on the upgrade treadmill. BTW, I've got some gigaset handsets (C470 and an A510H) and an old android phone set up as a SIP handset. The android phone is far superior. If I cared enough about it, I'd probably scrounge up a few old phones and get rid of the gigaset stuff entirely. When I eventually get around to getting a new mobile phone, my current one will become another SIP-only handset (it currently runs CSIP over WIFI when I'm home...it could also run encrypted SIP over mobile, but I don't bother). craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
