Recommended Phone Brands

Interexcel World Connection can work with all kinds of VoIP capable phones, there are a few minimum specifications that they need to adhere to:

  1. They need to be able to communicate using the SIP protocol as per RFC2833.
  2. They need to support the G.729 codec as this is what's used as a standard on all interconnects in South Africa.

For many reasons people have varying preferences, and most Brands of SIP phones should work with the IEWC platforms. There are however a few brands that's better supported than others.

The following brands are supported by our auto-provisioning platforms, and can be configured in a zero-touch manner in most cases. All you need to do is load their MAC addressese to our systems, which will then communicate with the systems provided by the manufacturors in order to ensure that the correct configurations are deployed onto the devices.

Yealink

This is our preferred brand due to it's cost effectiveness, ergonomic design, and due to them working well all-round.

SNOM

Well trusted, rock-solid stable, we are still seeing some 15-year old devices in the field, which says a lot.

Fanvil

Also a long-standing brand, with which we have much less experience overall compared to Yealink and SNOM, they do however have the advantage that their support teams came to the party in order to address concerns we had regarding their provisioning mechanisms.
