Anyone have practical experience using inexpensive GAP-compliant DECT handsets with the Snom M3 basestation?
When I asked Snom support, the answer was that 'basic functionality should work', but they didn't elaborate. I'm _guessing_ that means registering/unregistering with the base, making calls, and receiving calls (including presenting caller ID). They also stated that they did not test with other manufacturer's products (implying 'you're on your own'). Pretty much the response I expected. This would be SOHO/home use. We're using the 'ATA + multi-handset cordless phone' approach right now, but there are definitely advantages to having Asterisk see each handset as an extension. Looks like the Snom handsets are running at least US$130 apiece, so it'd be an expensive proposition to replace all our handsets. By comparison, a mainstream Panasonic DECT 6.0 handset runs ~US$30 (and I already have six...). I'm thinking a couple of 'nice' M3 handsets, and low-cost ones for the rest of the house. It's not a big deal if a $30 handset gets trashed, but $130 is a different story. Appreciate any experiences you can share, -- Paul p.s.
