Buttons, WHO needs buttons, you have two ears and one mouth, till that condition changes and people start sprouting more mouths and ears I suspect a low button count is sufficient. On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 4:30 PM, Nathan Neulinger <nneul@mst.edu> wrote:
Looks like the Fanvil phones have the same underlying issue as the Yealinks unfortunately - # of sip accounts limited significantly below # of buttons.

Hello,
Just saw this.
If you are still looking, the Aastra / Mitel 6800 series can do something like 20 SIP accounts, and you can put line keys on the expansion modules. I'm not sure if that is enough, but if it can cover you for the transition, that might get you by.
