I may need to look into this further. By that I mean, you may have to hand-hold me through a lot of questions I may ask in the future based on your experience with this service.

Absolutely. After all, that's what
(geeky) friends are for!

Note that even "ordinary" analog DECT-6.0 cordless phones are fairly impressive to use with a full-featured VoIP solution. I'm just wondering if
even better voice quality can be had with a pure digital end-to-end solution. Thus the interest in the Siemens IP-enabled DECT systems.
The tricky question is.. does the base unit have to transcode from one digital codec for DECT to another for VoIP?
EDIT: no, it doesn't need to transcode!!Which would kinda negate some of the edge it might otherwise have.
Anyone know off-hand what codec the Siemens DECT phones use?
EDIT: Lots of them, including G711 u/a law for VoIP!Cheers
