Re: [asterisk-users] Panasonic KX-TGP500 w/Asterisk
I bought one (the variant without the desk phone) to see if it would be a good product to sell my customers. Overall it's a decent product, but a firmware update would probably make it better (as of now it occasionally needs a reboot to re-register with Asterisk). But the price seems right, especially compared to the pricey non-DECT Aastra or the Polycom complete solution (which seems ideal, but very expensive when the deployment calls for just a few DECT phones). I have a normal PSTN Panasonic DECT phone at home and some keys went bad also. Seems to be an overall Panasonic problem with their DECT phones.

Hi, They sent us a few for free, so I guess I owe them a review. The Panasonic 500 and 550 worked very well with *sterisk 1.4. The full 550 phone seemed a little small, but all the advertised features worked. Audio quality was very good with a nice long range. The cordless phones are light weight with a belt clip, You just register the base set or phone, then connect the cordless phones. It pulls a config from central server, firmware options are thorough for business needs. One cordless phone (out of 5) developed a bad key. I really have to press hard to get the 1 key to work. The key went bad after 5 months. Overall, I really like the phones. Adrian Serafini -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Panasonic KX-TGP500 w/Asterisk
I have no direct experience. But I know that E4 Technologies has been using this phone with Asterisk Switchvox. Panasonic made an effort earlier this year to have it certified with Asterisk. It's also Broadvoice certified.
