Thanks Philippe
I'll look in to testing the Acrobits apps. Do they effectively start
and run in the background automatically or do they need to be run
once manually to get going?
Has anyone tried using iPod Touchs as a handset for a SIP phone? I
think they may only have a speaker at the bottom with the microphone
and none where your ear would be on an iPhone. Otherwise they could
be a fantastic iOS device for a SIP phone.

Curious about the Galaxy Player, can it be used as a
handset, or is it speakerphone only or bluetooth required?
Regarding iPhone apps, we tried Acrobits SIP and Acrobits
Groundwire (a few more biz features such as transferring), both
are polished apps and worked very well. As Tony pointed out,
battery life suffers (figure on less than a day's charge), and
your quality experience will rely strongly on your wifi
deployment. The ability to have a device that allows you to work
with business apps as well as communication (email, voice, txt)
is priceless, but in the end we did not deploy this type of
technology due to our high noise environment, large glass in a
fairly tough environment, and the need to have devices with
battery life that could extend beyond two shifts (16 hours).
We chose the KIRK line because of excellent battery life,
excellent (almost scary) signal penetration in our factory
environment, abuse survivability, and the ability to send
targeted alerts to the phones (maintenance alerts, etc) with the
6000 server and 6020 phones, which replaced lost functionality
that the iOS/Android platform would have delivered primarily.
Your scenario seems to be different, and the iOS/Android
choice may be a truly tenable solution, given the deployment of
a high quality wifi environment.

In your case I would test coverage with "any" app, besides
counterpath, you can try the free 3cx (Android and iOS) app
and others. The biggest thing you will find with wifi --
battery life/talktime (especially when received wifi signals
are weak), don't hold up nearly as long as DECT. So your
wifi deployment, coverage has a lot to do with battery life
and talktime.

Hi Tony,
We are looking at outdoor coverage but with a
lot of trees and vegetation.
Considering your response it shows that
things have changed in recent years too…
We do also have large wifi coverage already
and are constantly increasing it. In the past it
seemed that wifi was considered universally
terrible. Has that changed?
And are there any good smartphone apps? I
guess it would be Android rather than iPhone
since it is possible to get reasonable Android
handsets cheaply on prepaid plans and then don't
use the cellular side at all. But for those of
us with existing iPhones is there any
recommended apps?
Regards,
Andrew

You need to explain what kind of
coverage you need and what kind of
wireless infrastructure you have (if
any).
Snom makes a dect phone which also has
wireless repeaters and should work fine.
The battery life and talk time is very
good and does not interfere with wifi at
all.
If you have a wifi infrastructure you
could opt for an app on a smartphone.

Hi
all,
Just a query to see what the
current thoughts are on cordless
phones.
We probably need 2-3 phones
fairly soon that can transfer
calls. It would be nice (but not
immediately required) to have the
phones capable of switching
between multiple base stations due
to the physical area to be
covered. Of course this adds a lot
to the price so may be judged to
be uneconomical.
I know this has been asked
before but a lot can change with
VoIP phones.
