I use Panasonic KX-TCD 777 DECT SMS Twinset phones ( 2 phones 1 base
statio=
n) purchased from the UK (Dixons or Comet or somesuch) and Tiptel EasyDect
=
5000 (unavailable in the UK AFAIK)... All of these work perfectly and
suppo=
rt Caller id, caller id text and MWI

imho, wireless voip phones are far to expensive for the crap they turn out

to be.

I also have a siemens Gigaset SX550i dsl/cable/dect box on loan which
doesn=
;t work - primarily because it's for ISDN, which I don;t have. :P
