If you're using a PBX that calls cell #s, or softphones... features will be activated via DTMF. If you want to go super fancy, there are DECT cell systems that allow full roaming within the coverage area. I have run Aastra, haven't tried Panasonic's system. We ran into weird issues like not being able to dial zero, and phones that were many years behind state of the art. From the perspective of the younger employees, a SIP phone is just a cell phone that's broken because it can't run apps. And if you want Bluetooth + mobile, be prepared to pay $300+ per handset. > > > David > > On 2018/06/29 17:09, Jeremy Austin wrote: > > By cellular I also include VoWifi. > > I'm having a hard time seeing the general use case for SIP rather than > VoWifi.

Re: [WISPA] SIP Cordless phones
We have a small accounting firm that wants a mixture of desk phones and cordless phones. The older people are used to desk phones and want to keep it that way. The younger employees prefer cordless so they can move around the office while talking to clients. Both want to have features such as call transfer, park, etc on their phones.

By cellular I also include VoWifi. I'm having a hard time seeing the general use case for SIP rather than VoWifi. At present, largely what we get is presence notification — SIP busy status.

Re: [WISPA] SIP Cordless phones
I can't say I like any SIP cordless phones. I have used some, though… Siemens and Panasonic have functional SIP-DECT. (Grandstream has some too, but they have some build quality issues.) Any other RF method is not ideal for voice. Some people have success with softphone apps, WiFi that supports QoS, and a smartphone — Bria worked well for us for a few years, less so recently. What's the use case that you'd prefer SIP over cellular, FWIW?
