Hi all
I have a Snom300 at home which is perfect for my needs when i am desk-bound.

However i have been looking at getting a wifi voip handset to use on the same account for the times when i am not desk-bound.

I've read the articles on 2-phones-on-the-same-account.

Does anyone have a reccomendation for a handset that works well with voipfone?

Cheers

Yep.

Don't use Wi-Fi handsets ... Wi-Fi and Voip goes together like chalk and cheese. The sort of packet loss you get with Wi-Fi just isn't compatible with VoiP unless you're right next to the access point, which kind of negates the whole point of the exercise.

Instead, use a regular cordless phone with an Analog Telephone Adapter.

or a VoIP DECT phone like the Seimens 470

Cool thanks.

I'd kind of kicked wifi into touch anyway, as i've hardwired the network in our house as the layout and construction is not wifi friendly anyway.

I'll take a close look at the siemens handset and other similar dect phones.

Cheers
