GrandStream BudgeTone: Great Phone for Free Calls From India
Earlier, I had discussed how to setup Voip between India and several other countries at rather cheap price. I recently had to buy couple of VOIP phones for India. I decided on GrandStream BT 200 and GrandStream BT 201. Now we have been using these devices for several weeks and I could not be more satisfied. These are not the most feature rich device in the market. However, they do the job. For what I needed the features were more than enough. I need good voice quality and STUN/NAT support.
Voice quality is very clear and they were easy to setup. The price for these devices is rather reasonable (~$50 a piece). Much less than what I had paid for SPA901. This device is a lot lighter than SPA901 and has an large LCD display. The only difference between BT200 and BT201 is that the BT200 has two Ethernet interfaces one for connecting to the Internet and the other for your PC/laptop. That may be handy for several homes. BTW, if you are wondering, I do not have any relationship with GrandStream. I do very small amount of money if you click on the links above to buy the phone. But, that has nothing to do with my opinion on the GrandStream.
BTW, did you know that you can share one voipcheap line between multiple VOIP phones. But, that is subject of another post.
