Customer Reviews
Awesome VoIP phone @ a great price
This is an excellent phone; sound quality is high, the speakerphone works great, and the features are easy to use. We bought five phones, for our office and they arrived in 4 days (which to Canada is pretty impressive). It took an afternoon to get these phone setup with our Trixbox CE and now the system works flawlessly.
We have deployed hundreds of Cisco CP-7940G IP Phones across our organization. This is a rock-solid product.
We have standardized on the Cisco 7940G for most of our office staff, and it has been a terrific product for us I highly recommend it.
