Anyone have a suggestion for a Cordless Handset with good range and can be set to easily park a call? Ideally, the user should not have to go through multiple steps to get a call parked; so even if Park is via a transfer to *70 the Transfer process should not be buried under layers of on-screen menus.
Oh and it must support a Headset too!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I've used Engenius analog DECT phones with good success, though not directly with PIAF. They can program a function key on the phone to dial DTMF for transfer, so you could do ##70#. The one I used went through a four floor hotel easily. Let me see if I can find a model number..

I still love the Panasonic TPG500 series wireless system. It is DECT and fully SIP. Great range from the base. You can add up to 6 remote handsets, each with its own number. The spoiler is that you can only have 3 simultaneous calls. Park and page is no issue since you can press #70 to park and not have to use function keys at all.

It doesn't matter if it is analog instead of SIP but I need to do 1-button parking, headset capable, with good range.
For some dialing #70 is a bridge too far...

With the one I mentioned, you don't have to know ##70#. It's been a while since I've used one of them, but from in call it's like "MENU" > "PBX FUNCTIONS" > "TRANSFER" and it does the rest for you.

Yep! The DuraFon is the one, but the feature is probably in all of their handsets.

I got the FREESTYL V2 and succeeding in getting it to do Call Parking :cheers2:
In case anyone else needs this, I had to program "P##70#" to Park Calls, on the handset.
What I can't get it to do is Call Transfer (preferably Unattended); when "##" is input the calling party hears the Tones as you input them but doesn't get put on Hold or get Transferred
