I have personally used and sold many VoIP ATA or IP Phone that is made in China. From my experience they are very good for the its price. And the standard of quality if getting very close to Snom or grandstream etc. Of course they are no way close to cisco but they are getting there.
if you are after some cheap IP Phone or ATA please feel free to drop me an email off the list and I will do you some samples or quote Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nitzan Kon Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 4:38 AM To: 'Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Small business question from developing nation Where did you get the $21,000 quote for 200 PAP2T units?
