[Freeswitch-users] SIP ATA and dect phone suggestions

[lconroy]

Hi Rajil, folks,
 Well .... the FXO may be :), and I'm unsure whether DECT radio frequencies are permitted in the USA.
I don't know where you are or how you're connected to the PSTN, so YMMV, but ...
I believe there is a version that works with ISDN, but the N300 IP (or 300A IP if you want answerphone as well) I use in the UK works with an analogue PSTN connection. It also works with the UK landline  SMS scheme (with the messages turning up on-screen on the 'phones),
Note that the N300[A} IP don't have PoE support; they have their own mains PSU, so you may be playing with a mains plug adaptor.

For the SIP stuff, of course, it just has a 10/100 Ethernet. Note that it only works with POP3 (not IMAP) for the email client support. 
In case it's not clear from the manual, you can use the incredibly slow in-built web server to associate different combinations of incoming call offers (from the SIP accounts and/or from the PSTN) to each handset individually.
All of the phones use the dial plan to decide which outgoing account to use (unless you force an account by appending #<N> to any number you dial, where <N> is the account number -- 0 is the PSTN).

Frankly, I can't imagine why one would want to do anything else when these exist -- life is too short.
(WiFi 'phones used to eat battery power & have limited range, and the SPA3102 has bitten me on the rear in the past, which is why they're in my kit graveyard :).

Happy holidays.

all the best
 Lawrence
