But they're old now. Yes, old and unsupported. These have not been manufactured for quite some time. I had one and thought it very promising but the hardware quality was not what I had hoped. >And I do wonder, how long do the batteries last on a charge, a call centre >operator could be talking for a good period of the day. I might have hoped that snom would use one of the USB ports on the 820 or 870 models to provide support for a Bluetooth headset. The Cisco SPA-525G supports Bluetooth, as does the Aastra 6739i. Both are higher end models. Myself I rely upon a Counterpath soft phone and use the Plantronics Savi Go, which comes with a Class 1 Bluetooth USB dongle. It works great with my desktop and my cell phone. -- Michael Graves mgravesmstvp.com http://www.mgraves.org o713-861-4005 c713-201-1262 sip:mgra...@mstvp.onsip.com skype mjgraves Twitter mjgraves -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] OT: Wireless headset / phone combination
Seconded - I've clients with the Plantronics CS60 and CS70's with the HL10's on a combination of Snom and Grandstream GXP2000 desk phones. A bit extra desk spaghetti, but they think it's worth it... Seems like it's either 2 or 3 devices to make this work. The lifter is not required, as mostly operators are sitting at stations, wired headsets ensures this :) I had in mind something like the "Zultys ZIP 4x5 IP Phone" and it's bluetooth headset. But they're old now. And I do wonder, how long do the batteries last on a charge, a call centre operator could be talking for a good period of the day.

Seconded - I've clients with the Plantronics CS60 and CS70's with the HL10's on a combination of Snom and Grandstream GXP2000 desk phones. A bit extra desk spaghetti, but they think it's worth it... Plantronics also have a USB cordless headset too - for use with a soft-phone (although I'm not sure how it sends the 'answer' signal back to the PC/softphone) Another client of mine uses Siemens DECT phones with a wired headset to the phone (standard 2.5mm jack - so most mobile headsets work) clip the phone to their belt (or put it in their pocket) and off they go.. It's a cheaper solution to the Plantronics at the expense of a bit of fiddle factor... Gordon -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

You can get some good wireless headsets from Plantronics for around $200 (includes the headset, base, and lifter for the phone). I have a client that uses several CS55 headsets with the HL10 lifter and they're very happy with them. -- Thanks, --Warren Selby http://www.selbytech.com -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I've been asked for recommendations for a small call centre, an ethernet SIP deskphone with a wireless headset. Similar approach would be a mobile phone with bluetooth head set. Either I've not looked hard enough, or there isn't much on offer. Alec Davis -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
