Other IP phones compatible with Mitel

[WJ2600]

Could any body advice if there other IP phone brands that are compatible with Mitel,tested and have been in service could be recommended?

Thanks,

First Question would be why

- 3rd party phones would have to be SIP
- SIP phones are less functional on a Mitel system than Mitai based phones , but depending upon the 'why' it might not matter

If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

If memory serves there's even a way to run Nortel phones but that might be old news.

Mitel Branded phones will definitely give you more functionality.

If you're looking for a cheap basic phone I'd still go with Mitel and a 5304 phone.

The main reason of searching other brands than Mitel, is that we want to buy them from the local market, I am out of the States,and here there are only Cisco phones!and ordering IP phoned from abroad is difficult!!

I think the SIP could be utulized and ,will make the business run,

Thank you all for your advice

Nortel phones are digital type (not IP IIRC) and needed a asu type unit to go from IP to digital and back. I don't think its still available and never sold well as far as I know. I looked once and it was cheaper in the long term to buy Mitel IP phones rather than the unit and keep replacing dodgy Nortel phones....IMHV
