DECT base stations & Additional handsets
-
With DECT base stations typically handling 5 or more SIP accounts, and handsets, what does everyone prefer to install?
1 base station/ 1 handset per Extension
OR
1 base station, and 5 handsets/extensions?In other words, does anyone have any issues with having multiple extensions/accounts on 1 base station? I know it can be done, but just wondering if it is cleaner to have 1 base per handset, or if that is overkill.

We have done up to 5 extensions with only one base station, using the Yealink YEA-W52P Business IP HD DECT Cordless Phones. These are really easy to setup and really easy to use. No issues at all that we have come across.

Any experience with the VTech VSP600s?

VTech in general is low end gear. Never used it at a client.

Yes I agree we would never suggest a client buy low end gear like this.

Funny thing, it is more expensive than the Yealink on Amazon.

So the YeaLink phones are the better route? The W52P model? Grandstream also makes a few wireless DECT phones as well.

IMO, Grandstream is the bottom of the barrel on quality in the VOIP world. They are super cheap and often the quality suffers because of it. I know tons of hobby VoIP people love them because of the cost.
I love Yealink because of the combination of their price and quality.
There are certainly cheaper phones and there are certainly higher quality phones.
But Yealink hits that sweet spot of solid quality for reasonable cost.

That's good info, thanks. I've been working with Grandstream for a little while now and they just came out with a new firmware that revamped their interface and seemed to improve the UI a lot. However, I have no complaints about Yealink either. I haven't used their DECT phones yet, but their price is very similar compared to the VTech phones. I believe a vendor recommended this VTech phone a few months ago, but I haven't really done any research on it. Glad I asked.
