[Freeswitch-users] SIP phones -

Fri Aug 16 16:25:46 MSD 2013

I HATE Polycoms they are hard to configure and hard to debug.

I really like the Cisco SPA series as they are reliable however also hard
to debug. Snoms and Yealinks are good and a lot easier to debug (Pulling
packet captures directly from the phone makes life a lot easier)

Just my 2c.
