Siemens Gigaset A580

First lets not start bitching about Skype not being supported to be as 'a fatal design flaw' since this device was never designed nor advertised to work with Skype. If Skype is being closed system and not following industry standard (SIP) that's...

First, I will say that the sound on this is truly stellar - really clear. We are still exploring features and haven't even tried the VOIP feature yet - so I can't comment on that - but I do have a few other comments about general use. a) I will echo...

I am reasonably technical and run a VOIP PBX for our small business with several different providers, IP Phones and gateways. This seemed like a nice addition where cordless IP phones are needed. I have almost returned this several times because of...

I bought this to move away from my Cisco ATA 186 device (analog phone adapter) - because my cordless phones died and was going to have to replace the batteries. Instead of just replacing the batteries, I wanted a more reliable solution - I had to...

I bought this for one of our "work at home" employees. We run all SIP lines and I packed this back up and had it ready to ship back within 30 minutes of opening it. Two main design flaws... 1. To make an IP call- you have to dial the number and then...
