Does anyone have a recommendation on a good phone to use with OBI?
Desires
Good Microphone with background noise reduction\cancelling
Good speakerphone
No preference on wired vs wireless. No preference on if it supports a headset or not.
Currently I use Google Voice with a OBI110 which is connected to a Panasonic KT-TG7742S.
http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/KX-TG7742SMy reason for thinking of replacing it is the desire to have a better sounding speakerphone for both parties. The sound on my side is OK, but others say it sounds like i am in an auditorium frequently. I do not know if this is the phones fault, a setting i need to tweak on my OBI device, if I should just buy a bluetooth device that will work with my existing phone, or something else.
Regarding my network it seems to be pretty solid.
Phone: Panasonic KT-TG7742S
Internet: 60mbps down, 10mbps up
Router: Asus Ac66u with QOS setup for the OBI device to have highest priority
OBI110: plugged directly into the router, phone plugged directly into the OBI110
Speed tests, line quality tests, VOIP simulation tests online all come back with high rankings. I also do not see anything that appears to be bad when looking at current call status while on a call. Below are my service stats from the last 2 days.
