Why are USB SIP phones bad?

Question

Asterisk

Colleagues, good afternoon.

Who has the practice of using devices connected via USB - tell me, pls, what are their pros and cons?
I personally prefer normal devices connected to the network - but since I myself have not come across USB devices, I can’t justify it for management.
Or is the devil not so terrible as he is painted? ..

Answer 1

Well, USB-backgrounds, as I understand it, do not work on a computer without a program.
And it's hard to find normal soft VOIP clients.

Answer 2

Chinese non-name phones of not the first freshness may not start on windows 7 and you will not find firewood for them.
They also often need some kind of clever program to make the dialer work.

Answer 3

In general, they work. There are problems when users use all sorts of on-line radios, then either the telephone or the radio works. And there are still problems on some USB controllers, for example, we encountered problems on Lenovo laptops, there were features - after leaving the hypernation, the phone did not work, the solution was to turn off the computer, connect the device, then turn on the computer. If connected to a loaded system, the phone did not work correctly. The phone model is SkypeMate USB-P1M, it comes with several programs for sip backgrounds to choose from.

Answer 4

It's not a business decision.
On my knees
It is better to pay extra and buy a full-fledged SIP deskphone.
