Clear VOIP communication, Relatively simple setup

Ordered two of thesis, First One Setup went with no problems at all to register on gigaset.net and test. Second one, kept giving me Could not connect to server errors, and server unavailable errors. I thought maybe defective unit, but When trying the first unit it gave the same error now. It Seems the gigaset.net network which having problem as I could not even reach it on a PC even. Internet connection which tested and was fine during this, so it was not my ISP or router. While this is the first incident it did last for a couple of hours, so 1 star for reduced reliability of the gigaset.net network.

Gigaset.net comes preconfigured, all you have to do is set a nickname if you want to appear in the directory (This is optional). Calls to other Gigaset members is free and sounded clear enough.

Compatible with sipgate, it was easy to configure via the web config using a PC connected to the same router. Again success, clear communication.

Menus are fairly straightforward to configure the phone as you like, with up to 6 VOIP configurations, each with Their Own ringtone, as well as the fixed line. VIP section with separate ringtones as well if you like. You therefore have a choice of how to dial out fixed line or any of the configurations you have VOIP. Multiple options to block Certain callers, and anonymous calls. Timer for silencing the phone if you like during the night not to be disturbed, and many others ...

So has some nice features: such as info next 3 day weather for your region in the screen saver, or news if you prefer.

I would definitely read the long manual, 229 pages, not the short one, to get the most out of your phone. The manual is bit disorganized at times, Especially When it comes to features it Which Explains When. But overall worth the read. Extensive Troubleshooting section near the end.

Nice touch is indeed the handsets come with standard AAA rechargeables, so down the line just replace with your preference, no need to hunt for manufacturer specific replacements.

Although it says MADE IN GERMANY, some components are sourced from India and China silent: such as the power converters. Overall build quality feels ok but not as good as some Panasonic wireless sets. The finish is a magnet for fingerprints.

I would recommend quiet despite the caveats.
