Cisco IP phones - any good ? open original image

Hi, I'd like to know your opinion on Cisco 7940/7960 IP phones (expecially versus Polycom IP 500/600). How good is the speakerphone ? Is 7940 limited because of only 2 lines and I should just look for 7960 ? Does the phone require "user licence" or is that for a Cisco VOIP server/registrar ? I intend to switch our office to a full IP configuration so if you have any good deals on business class IP phones please to it send me.



Regards,



Gabriel

How usable are the cisco phones on non-cisco PBX setups like asterix?

Hi,

I did the mistake of buying a secondhand 7960. It looks like I'm going to try and use it on SCCP as SIP firmware are just not available. I called CISCO an a tech representative said I'm on my own since they do not support off warranty items.
