Grandstream 286 and Gizmo - again...

-----------------------------------------

Hi John –

Thanks for your blog entry. It saved me a ton of time and aggravation. Now, we’ve got an available, affordable (goodbye Vonage!), and cool way to get phone service to our weekend house. I could never justify paying $50/month, or even Vonage’s $24/month for a phone that we use maybe once or twice a month. Purpose of a getaway house is to get-away.

Thanks again. Great article.

Mike,

I am glad you enjoyed the post. I am still using the 286 with Grand
Central and next month my wife and I will drop our AT&T cell plan for
a pay as you go plan that should end up being about $140 per year
($280 for both of us). That will be my total phone expenditure for the
year - as apposed to $840 per year currently.

There was some more information on that post in the comments, so I
tacked it to the bottom...

Anyway, if the device is working perfectly for you, leave well enough alone.

Thanks again,
John
