Our experience with the Budget Tones 101have been poor as well. The devices seem to die after a day or two (even with the new firmware) and then need to be rebooted. On occasion, the device needs to be literally unplugged and plugged back in as even the reset doesn't work.

There are some nice features, but we have all but given up on them for a production environment. Relative to the Cisco ATAs and other devices we are using, the price/performance ratio is not there, particularly from a support cost perspective. If they get the thing to be more stable then we will reconsider them.

Do you have a 100 or 101? You have indicated different models in your
postings. Were you able to get Call Transfer and Call Waiting working
with your Asterisk system and other phones? Which version of the
Grandstream firmware do you use? There most recent on their website this
weekend was at least 2 version numbers higher than what came on my phone
in August. Think that they are making improvements rather frequently.

What don't you like about the grandstream ? (I am not looking to flame
you,

out
beforehand)

Nothing works. Call transfer and call waiting, in particular. (Well, almost nothing; vm notification does work)

There is no place to plug in a headset, and since I do a fair amount of
tech support and longish conference calls, that's a big deal for me.


However, keep in mind that I have an old, no-longer-manufacturered model
(the Budgetone 100). Don't take my frustration with my outdated phone as
a sign that you should dismiss Grandstream out of hand - I just don't like
my 100.
