Grandstream Sip phone - only 1 account per phone

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Hello,
If I understand well with a GrandStream Sip phone, one of the
most knows, supported and economic, I can use only 1 sip account
per phone, so if the Sip voip provider attach only 1 number per
account I cannot use 2 or 3 numbers with an account with only 1
Sip phone Grandstream.

Correct.

Do you think that soon the Grandstream will do a new sip phone
with this feature, I mean, more Sip accounts in one phone?

Why they don't do this feature, I think that a lot of people need it
I really don't understand....

let me know if you know SIP phones that support multiple Sip
accounts, in one phone.

thank you!

But will a Grandsteam adapter work with Asterisk, or is a IAX adapter needed
?

Asterisk *is* an IAX(2) adapter. All of the standalone devices I use with
Asterisk use SIP. It's handled well.

Ah thanks for clearing that up for me, I was thinking I need a 'IAXy'
adapter for Asterisk - but I can use a SIP Grandsteam !. So I can sign up
with a SIP provider and in the future sign up with a IAX provider and use
Asterisk and the Grandsteam SIP adapter

That's how I read it. You can get "4 lines" also.

I run everything through Asterisk so I have all sorts of "lines" coming
to my phones. I'm not familiar with using multiple accounts on a single
device and I don't have an SPA-841 but I've noticed some mention of
multiple accounts in some Sipura text. (I have lots of other Sipura
hardware. The SPA-2000 can easily handle different accounts for each
line.)
