Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been looking to get rid of my landline for a while and needed a solution that lets me put the base unit in a small closet and the handset where I need it.
If you're in the same boat, you don't have many choices.
I purchased the Simens GIgaset 675 about a year ago, and while it works fine, the volume from the handset was SO low that it was almost unusable.
I've since read that other Gigaset models are louder but that the volume issue for my model is a common complaint
I recently stumbled across this unit and since I've always been happy with standard Panasonic cordless phones I thought I'd give it try.
I was VERY hesitant to purchase the unit since the vast majority of user reviews I found mentioned endless issues getting it registered to their voip provider.
After a while I found that there was a firmware update in Sep 2010 which solved the issues and indeed I didn't see any mention of setup issues after that date.
So I got it and the first thing I did was to download the new firmware and install it.
Then it took me 15 minutes to set it up to work with my voip provider, callcentric and it's been working fine so far (I got it 4 days ago).
I do agree with most of the comments I've seen that the documentation is not for the average joe.
The admin manual is 250 pages long!!!
Luckily you really only need to setup one page of settings if you're just using it as a simple SIP phone and not doing anything fancy.
One thing which is a bit annoying - the web interface is OFF by default (though it's easy to turn on via the phone's menu system).
5 stars for the hardware - 3 stars for not making a "simple" version of the interface (though I guess it's aimed towards offices that have an IT guy).
