I got this for my mom who refuses to master any kind of electronics. She's happy with picking up the receiver and pressing digits to dial a number, and that's it. So this phone is perfect for my use case - mom uses it in a way she accepts and understands technology (effectively using one of my SIP accounts unbeknownst to her), but I can initiate the use of extra features. Say, I can call her and chat via video with absolutely no action required on her part.First, the good stuff. It works.Video quality differs. Skype is okay, H.264 at 512k, SIP - not so much, H.263 even at 1024k sucks compared to skype's video.Speakerphone is probably the best part of the whole experience. It's clear, loud, with full bass and treble.Camera is actually quite good. What's more, it has a mechanical wheel on the back of the phone that adjusts the angle. This, combined with two-angle positioning stand gives the phone a lot of flexibility.You could use it as conference room equipment - the composite tv-out with stereo works just fine, and you can assign a hotkey for switching between LCD and a TV.Another thing that 'just works' (although setting it up is not easy at all) is a screensaver feeding of a flickr account. I just upload pictures to my flickr and they appear on the screen of my mom's phone WITHOUT ANY ACTION from her. Priceless!Now for the 'not so good' stuff.The phone (purchased in 2012!) came with NO SKYPE support, despite the box and the manual. The recommended upgrade route (via TFTP via Grandstream servers) doesn't work. I had to set up an TFTP server and upgrade via it. Didn't bother with the 'stable' version, went for the latest beta instead. Consequently everything positive about this phone is based on the latest beta (which is NOT available on their web site, I downloaded it off some obscure internet forum. Their support looks like crap.Just forget about anything else but the SIP/Skype functions. The Grandstream engineers must have figured that once they've built a computer inside, it's a shame not to load it with all sorts of crappy buzzwords. Too bad, it's all unusable. The browser just hangs (with the rest of the phone) when I try to stream a flash-based TV channel, thank you.While fb/twitter and even some IMs technically work, using anything but voice+video is a pain. Grandstream clearly hasn't heard about the interface design and usability. It all sucks big time.Even the non-essential phone functions suck: phonebook is unusable (to dial you need to press some 10-12 buttons, COME ON!), and for a truly great laugh just go to youtube and search for 'setting up a conference call on GXV3140': you need a full-time operator to be able to set up a conference call.Things that work are: speakerphone, redial, hold, video loopback and transfer. That's it.I'm still very satisfied, however: for $147 I paid for it it's a steal. I'm considering buying another one, for myself, to replace my ancient Cisco 7940G.

Before everything, let me say that I purchased this product mainly because of the "Certified for Skype" note on the manufacturers web site. Other features seemed impressive as well so I thought it would be a great solution with some added features. Also, let me add, before I begin, that I am an IT guy so I have some technical knowledge.Certified for Skype proved not to be really true. Out of the box my phone came without Skype or even Skype support. Had to find out, by reading blogs and support site, that I have to upgrade the firmware on the phone in order to be able to use Skype on it. This was not that straightforward, and I guess it would be difficult if you don't have technical knowledge.After that Skype started working fine on the phone. But....After several months, the phone screen would simply go black after turning the phone on and going to the Skype screen. Tried calling the support and was extremely disappointed. They basically told me to submit the ticket on their web support site. I explained to them that I already did and that it has been a week and nobody has even acknowledged my question. After that I got a feedback on the support ticket but when I replied with all of the items that they needed from me, again no response from them. It went so far that my ticket was automatically closed because there was no activity on the ticket from them! I called again and I explained that I had no response on the ticket, that the ticket is now closed and that I cannot use my Skype on the phone. Their response was simply to use other options on the phone to call people, to stop using Skype on it !!!!So I went back on the forums and blogs and somehow figured out that I had to again do factory reset of the phone. I did that on my own and the phone worked for a while but several months later, again the black screen. Another reset and again it works, probably until the next black screen. Oh, and every factory reset that I do, deletes all of your data and settings so you have to do it all over again after every reset.Support web site says that this is a firmware problem that has been resolved by a firmware fix. The only problem is that that was more then a year ago since they released that upgrade and I am still continuing to have the problem even though I have firmware that is up to date.In essence, if you want to use this for Skype you might not have problems, but if you do you have to figure out how to resolve them yourself as "support" is useless.I have not used other features of the phone a lot but they seem to work great.

I bought this phone for both Skype, speakerphone quality and Google Voice for my office. To be fair, this was my first IP Phone.Setting it up it was a bit confusing, a mix bag between Linux scripting and simplistic and/or poorly designed web UI, but once it's working it works well. Lots of potential or "almost there" functions, but needs a lot of polishing (which might never happen).I bought this one based on the Google Voice support claim, but don't get your hopes up: you won't be able to use the phone with a GV number and be happy: you still have to log in to GV, so you have a glorified web UI on a tiny phone screen. I ended up porting my GV to a VOIP company and use the phone like this... Skype works wonders though!I'd buy a few more for my office as prices go down...

Believe me I have been waiting for this long time.5 Years back I was already considering a solution like the GXV3140.At that time the devices came with some kind of VOIP account bundle. So I was skeptical.Especially Grandstream as a budget maker has a long history for hit or miss products.If Grandstream can pull this product of the right way, make it work and actually deliver on the promises the brochure gives then this will be a 6 star product.Grandstream has been promising before features that didn't make it into later firmware versions. So when I heard the GXV3140 comes out with all this killer applications built in I was even more skeptical.The GXV3140 is clearly a device that focuses towards "one size fits all" - in other words - quantity.The GXV3140 must be Grandstream's answer to the Germans "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau."*- Skype- Twitter- Facebook- Google voice- Browser- IM (Gmail, MSN, QQ, Yahoo)- Weather- Calender(Display of holiday names in local language)- Currency converter- Calculator- Stock ticker- RSS feeds- Mp3 player- Internat radio (streaming)- phonebook- 3 sip accounts- TV out connection (audio/video)- USB port- SD slotWith this vast amount of functionality the device can literally fulfill "little" technical wonders.As a sidenode: The "bigger" wonders are fulfilled by you during the configuration period ;-)The key to this success is that - after configuration - the user can enjoy all those applications without PC knowledge.With all this privileges comes of course a new level of responsibilities. So keep in mind that running so many applications on a network device naturally increases the risk of becoming unstable.The good thing (from security point of view) is most applications need to be started first before they can be used.So first advice I would give is to update to the latest firmware.(Users have been complaining about stability on earlier version.)--- Update June 2010: ---Since the official GA release of Firmware 1.0.1.18 (GA) on 24th August 2009 the phone has come a loooong way.It became considerably more stable and usable.--- Update November 2010 ---Latest firmware version is 1.0.7.3--- Update March 20111 ---Firmware was overhauled and Interface feels now fast and snappy.Especially web browser seems to have been improved again.--- Update April 20111 ---Linux Skype Ver. 2.2.xxx is now fully working with the GXV3140This means that Grandstreams GXV3140 / Skype client now fully works with Windows / Mac / Linux Skype clients !!Lets hope that next Skypes mobile client versions will include H.264 video.Its pretty cool to have that much functionality after the initial 4 days of configuration.So I don't need to startup my PC for smaller tasks anymore and my desk looks cleaner too.My only complaint (for now) is that 3 sip accounts is no way enough for me.(I would require roughly 6+). If you use 3 incoming DIDs (Tokyo, London, New York) with different providers and 3 others for outgoing calls than you already have an issue.It can be an invaluable advantage to change the provider at a push of a button when the carriers voice quality varies. (as it does with many budget providers).Having said that The GXV3140 has a remarkable voice quality even when the network is sluggish.I am (still) a long term (5+ years) SNOM 360 user (and fan) and was buffled that the GXV3140 delivers even better voice quality.The voice is literally crystal clear. Your partner will hear you taking a breath in and out. (and that's no joke !!)I have to confirm yet if Netmeeting will work with it.Ekiga does (think of it as a sip based Netmeeting) and there are other compatible softphones out there too like f.e portsip, eyeBeam etc.Its pretty cool that you can receive PC calls.This means that your partner does Not have to buy the GXV3140 if (s)he doesn't want to.The video experience itself is pretty cool too, you can start to consider it a replacement for a video conference system.For ADSL / SOHO users:With Video Bit Rate : 256kbps it feels still like a web cam experience.But, the video size is sufficient to confirm that its your mum on the other side.That alone can make it worth if you live far away from people you care about.I have read stories about it being used in health care as well.For professional users:With Video Bit Rate : 512kbps - 1024kbps it delivers quality like a video conference system.The video can be output on your TV screen.The quality is so good that it will bring tears (not only) to your granny.That stuff just wasen't possible not so long time ago.The key to being able to enjoying it is the networks latency and that is where you (usually) don't have influence in long distance calls.Nevertheless we have been running tests between Tokyo (Japan) and Frankfurt (Germany). The slower end of the line ran on a DSL 384 kbps SOHO connection.We found that it gave us sufficient performance to make us want to deploy it further.Summary:Spending $250 on a VoIP phone is not cheap, but with this amount of functionality its

This was plug and play on my Grandstream GXP2200 Android deskphone. It's only 4 stars because it's a full sized USB stick. Smaller would have been better.

Grandstream is a cheap brand. You have to know that quality and durability is not in his mission.The first phone failed 6 month after I buy it. Speaker failed. The Screen is cheap and Flickr constantly.I just upgrade the new firmware and was about to change my opinion, but one week after upgrade then phone freezes once per day.Still think is a average phone if you have luck that the one you buy don't fail too soon.Like the Skype account, also using the camera it knows when you are near and turn on the screen. I think this new functionality is causing the fail, but is really good.I gave 2 star because I wouldn't recommend it.

I have used mine with Callcentric, Diamondcard, and the now-defunct Gizmo5. Any SIP provider should work but Skype and Google Voice are not supported. It is simple to set up--assuming you understand a few basics of networking and VOIP service--compact, and reliable. It has lots of fancy configuration options on the phone side: how to initiate 3-way calls, what codecs to use, 600 or 900 ohm (and a few other strange ones) line impedance, etc. Mine has been tacked to the basement wall serving up a second phone line with no fuss for a couple years now.It has a few shortcomings. T38 fax does not appear to work so I can't send a fax (might be my DSL is too slow though). It appears to be UDP-only, so I have not had much success using it in hotel rooms and other places with particularly unfriendly NAT routers; it most certainly lacks Skype's uncanny ability to sneak through firewalls. My biggest complaint, though, is that the analog "FXO" pass-through is not very programmable. I cannot route 911 calls away from the VOIP service and to the POTS analog line (a user has to know to dial *00 to manually pass through, and then 911) and an incoming call on the analog line passes through to the VOIP line even if it has been answered on the analog side. That locks out the VOIP line unnecessarily and there is no way to break out other than disconnecting the analog line from the unit (and there is no way to turn analog ring-through off). Because of these limitations, the FXO pass through is a waste for many use cases and you may as well get the cheaper HT-286, the same thing without the FXO.Those caveats aside, it has been a useful install-and-forget device, for a great price. Prices vary widely, so shop around.

We used several Grandstream voice and video phones for about a year before giving up on them.Grandstream phones are about the lowest cost IP phones available.They will work as a voip phone, for dialing and receiving calls.That is about all I can say that is positive about them.If you want to use ALL the latest VoIP and PBX features, Grandstream will leave you wanting.The firmware is buggy and features often don't work correctly. And Grandstream support is non-existant.Our voip provider voiSip.com (highly recommended) suggested the brand Yealink instead.Roughly the same price, but wow, what a difference. Everything works perfectly now.Avoid Grandstream.

I had been hoping someone would build this concept - a device that looked like a phone but had built in IP phone / skype with video functionality. When GrandStream came out with the GXV 3140, I had mixed emotions. I was so glad that someone had made it, but not so thrilled that it was GS. I have used their ATAs in the past and I have had lots of issues with that product.So far this GXV 3140 phone looks pretty stable, I did have to hard reboot it a couple of times (wished it had a power button so I didn't have to pull the plug from the wall. Even the power input to the device is hard to reach, so I decided just to go to the wall outlet.)Another issue I had during setup was that it seems like when I add / change the SIP information, I needed reboot the phone. Really...?But my biggest issue with the phone is that it is tethered. yes you can get the wireless adaptor so you don't have to run an ethernet connection to the phone, but you still need the power connection. For home use this is indispensable.Looks like the design direction was more to make it a computer in a phone (with apps, twitter, browser, feeds, etc). I think it would be great if they tried to make it a fantastic IP phone with the emphasis on "phone".

I have had this phone for a couple of weeks now and still am struggling to do basic functions. Granted I don't use it constantly but every time I need to do something like an attended transfer it requires the manual and even then it doesn't always go through. Save your money and get a simpler phone.

This phone is good, nice to use, color screen etc...The main thing for me is that there is no FXO (Standard phone socket to hook up your landline through this phone).I had read many reviews and item descriptions, mostly, they all say "Optional FXO port"... year right. Not 1 FXO port on my phone...?Apparently, the Optional FXO port is if you order direct from Gandstream a batch of, say, 5000 phones and special request this FXO port. So why have it on the phone descriptions?Anyways, apart from that I like the phone, the sound quality is excellent providing you have available bandwidth, like any VoIP phone.Handsfree seems to be good.I am using Sipgate for my VoIP provider and am happy with the service, however at first, I was using a old Telefonica modem (im in Spain), this needed to be rebooted every 12-24 hours, if I didnt do this, I would not be able to hear anyone I called, yes I had port forwarding setup and still the same. Since then, I have replaced the modem with a new one and that problem has thankfully gone.The web browser is basic but seems easy to use. I have written a SMS text messaging program for the phone that runs in the browser and I have ordered a "Rii Mini Keyboard" (USB keyboard & mouse in one) on ebay so hopefully this will work well with the SMS app. and phone.Internet radio is good.Other points;I changed the time location to Madrid time, I then rebooted and the phones language changed to Spanish, this surprised me a little bit but you can change it back in the Personalize menu.When you put the phone handset down after use, it doesnt always sit in the cradle correctly, so watch out for this.Internet messaging, seems to work well but I have not found a way to use the built in camera with messaging? Is it possible? I think not.Its a bit tekky, you have to be au fait with entering ip addresses and website URLS if you want to update your firmware. Or leave the default values if your happy with it as is.

Really like the product and the voice quality.Setting it up to work with a 3CX server was easy and it is working very well.The only downside is that I am not able to create dial plans that accepts the "+" sign for international calls. This is supported by Cisco, but I could not make it work on this device. This is especially bad since the missed call list uses this format.

I use Skype on a daily basis to communicate with colleagues and clients. This phone isn't ready for Skype. Although the product is sold on the Skype website I had to manually update the phone's firmware to get the Skype application. The call quality is terrible, and it drops calls often. I have yet to make a solid Skype call from the GXV3140.Until GS figures out how to handle the Skype application better, it's far more effective to use the actual Skype program on your computer.

The wifi adapter is a very useful accessory to not depend on a cable and give more independence to the phone.A good option to consider, but would be even better if it could use other brands or adaptors and 3G.The GXV3140 Grandstream IP Multimedia Phone is truly a marvel.It has a simple configuration and good performance.Would have to upgrade and work to improve some applications and telephone utilities, is missing not having a manual option to set more templates for menus and other things.While the company would be reviewed and updated versions of the firmware and to include more applications and addons.With this latest product and would highly recommend.

I bought this two of this device to connect to my family abroad. I have a hard time configuring this device maybe because I'm new to ATA devices and the manual isn't clear. I finally configured the device but after two weeks the device suddenly stopped working. I used the web interface to fix but it still would not register with my service provider. I reset the device to factory settings, upgrade the firmware and configure again somehow it does the trick. It's working ever since. From what I read the latest firmware should just allow turning off/on the device to fix problems. Overall the device works as expected.

When I bought this product, my expectations were low. I thought that for the price, it couldn't be very stable.The setup (using Gizmo VIOP)was very easy. Using the web interface, I entered my username, password and VOIP server locations; rebooted the device and I was connected. After testing this product for a while now, I am amazed at its stability and performance.

I bought several HT 486 ATA to connect my family all around the world. It was easy to set up the device with Sipphone.com. The voice quality is great most of the time. When it is bad, I guess it has someting to do with the internet Traffic.Pro: good value, light weight (both the adaptor and the 110-240 power adaptor) Actually, it is the smallest and lightest power adaptor I have ever seen (less than two thumbs put together, and very light). Offers a PC port and a PSTN port (when your voip fails, this PSTN port is your backup for regular phone). Economic in postage to send the unit overseas. The manufactuer grandstream.com website is very useful.Con: Only has one phone line capability.
