Hi,
My dad currently uses a Geemarc Ampli200+ connected to a POTS line. The phone has power as well as line jacks and can be heard across the room if your hearing is good. For him, it's great and he can use it without hearing aids.
He also has (cable) broadband, and I'd like to get him on VoIP to kill the monthly POTS bill. I tried an OOMA with the Geemarc phone, but quality was not great (muddled, IIRC), so I returned the OOMA.
Now I'm wondering if bypassing the analog-to-digital conversion would improve quality. Is there a SIP phone that is comparable to the Geemarc in terms of handset amplification? (No speakerphone needed.) The phone could register to my PiaF or, more likely, directly to an ITSP.
Thanks for your suggestions,
