Got it. If you're using a SIP cordless, features will be activated via DTMF (and out-of-band signaling). 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.
