Product Discontinuance Notice: 675xi Phones 

Mitel has announced the discontinuance of all variants of the Aastra 675xi SIP phones.

Schmooze still has some stock on hand of the 6753i and the 6755i for those interested in acquiring these before they are gone.

The newly released 68xxi series of SIP phones are great alternatives to the 675xi models, providing significant improvements including enriched functionality, superior audio quality, and enhanced color LCD display.

For clients who wish to stay within the 67xxi family for similar form factor the 673xi series offers suitable substitutions as well.

These models and more are available in the Schmooze Portal for purchase at competitive prices.

Do your part: Purchasing hardware from Schmooze helps provide funding for the continued development of FreePBX!


 

Stay tuned to our blogs and forums for upcoming announcements about a new certified WIFI phone, FreePBX Integrated Cloud-Based Provisioning for desktop, tablets and smartphones and more exciting additions to the ever expanding FreePBX EcoSystem!
