Yeah, that message transfer issue was my primary concern. I'm glad it's been corrected. I could probably live without the MWI. Where did you get yours, and where are you located? Is anybody using these phones in North America? > I am using this model, the audio IMO is superb and would recommend it. Siemens phones (German phones in general ;) ) have a reputation for very clear sound.

If this as good as the > other Aastra products, then you can't go too far wrong. I'll be doing my first Aastra deployment shortly. Everybody I know who's used them has been very pleased. If the Aastra phone is true DECT then it should be possible to order just the handsets for it. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
