[Freeswitch-users] Fs compatible phones?

[Sean Devoy]

Todd,

I think the general rule you are looking for is "Any Internet phone that
uses the SIP protocol should work."  That rules out the 3COM NBX phones.

I have used Cisco 504Gs rather extensively.  Once we got the NAT settings
down, they have been great.  They do have backlighting, but are rather
costly at about $175 - $200.

I am watching replies to your question for an answer from someone who says
something "I use ______ and they are cheap, have 4 lines and work great!"

Hope that helps a little.

Sean

My question is evolving into not who but what.

It it safe to say any phone marketed as a 'IP Phone' will work or are there
gotchas that I need to know about ?
