Have a Gigaset IP phone?If you have a C610A system like I do, you might want to look here: » www.frontgate.com/additi ··· t/393761. Although they are not marked as C610H handsets, a customer service rep confirmed they are and indeed I received definite confirmation as I ordered three and all three arrived today. $30.00 shipped each is what I paid, you can get free shipping on your first order if you sign up for their email list. Normally these handsets go for at least $50.00 elsewhere so if you need some, get them while they last..... Mods: I know this should go in hot deals but it's such a specific item for such a small subset of BBR, I thought I would post it here. |

Most excellent tip. The keys and display pictured match the C610H handsets that I have around here. |

I have yet to check to see if they have the special services menu that was cited as missing from some earlier C610 handsets. I'll try to find that out tonight. |

I ordered several of them and as a first-time customer they gave me an additional 20 percent price discount plus the free shipping. Be sure to go to the main page to register first, then you can get the first-time discount code to apply to the order. » www.frontgate.com/Thanks much for posting this, and for posting in THIS forum. Much appreciated.  |

Ok, confirmed that it has the special services menu that includes the Voip wizard and other network functions so it is fully functional. One thing to note with these handsets, when they are new they come with a VERY discretely placed plastic covering over the display area that make them look like they are scratched or previously used. You need to carefully find the small ridge at the extreme perimeter of the clear plastic and peel up the plastic to expose the smooth lense. I didn't figure this out until I received this second handset and saw a bubble underneath  |

I always leave that stuff on as long as I can.
Like slipcovers. And I do tend to get things scratched. |

OK, got the three Gigaset C610H handsets delivered today. Total price including shipping, for the THREE phones, about $70. Wunderbar! |
|

They still have some if you need them. |

I am using these nice Gigaset C610H handsets with my older base unit, the Siemens/Gigaset A580IP. The new handsets work great with the old (base unit) phone. It's a great rejuvenation procedure. |

Wow, from a good deal to a great deal in just a few days!
I expect that the C610IP and C610H are being end-of-lifed. That model was first offered in the US in June 2011, so introduced at CES 2011.
CES 2014 is fast approaching. I expect something new to be announced there. They always seem to take 6 months to get the product to market after the show.
Sadly, my former contact at Gigaset is no longer there.
P.S. - A friend just called Frontgate to ask about inventory. As of this moment (10 am CST) they have over 300pc. |

Let us know if you find one. I need one too.
I also grabbed three. Too good of a deal to pass up.
I'm trying to avoid slick deals and fat wallet and now, even on here I can't resist a great deal.
Gotta hide that card......................... |

They are now 10.60 ! I bought 4. |
|

I got 2 yesterday (before the free shipping code was posted). The shipping doubles the price but still well worth it. |

Can anyone confirm that these are really the C610h handsets?
After looking at the picture at frontgate, it appears that there is a small silver button or slider switch on the side of the phone.
Searching for the C610h on google and checking several sites, I do not see this button or slider switch shown on any other place other than frontgate.
Does anyone else notice this? |

They're up at 19.50$US today. What's interesting is the 'was' price: yesterday when the handsets where on sale at 9.50$US, the 'was' price was around 100$, but today it's back at 49.50$US. Funny how they played with that price so they could say there was a 90% discount!
And as far as the coupon code goes: it doesn't work on canadian orders :-( |

Is it simply the belt clip? |
|
| |
Not sure what it is.
No other site shows it though.
Quick question. Can you buy a base unit for these hand sets without the phone itself?
Thanks |
|
| |
The only place I have seen Gigaset base stations (by themselves) pop up is on feeBay. I don't recall seeing a 610IP one but have seen other VOIP models. |

said by wideglide36:Quick question. Can you buy a base unit for these hand sets without the phone itself? AFAIK every base unit is going to come with at least one handset as part of the bundle. Also note that I am using these handsets with the older base, the A580IP. They work fine and in essence they are an upgrade for that older base. ----- Gigaset provides an interactive compatibility guide. » www.gigaset.com/en_US/su ··· ity.htmlGo towards the [bottom] of that page, you will see a pulldown menu for the base unit, then a pulldown menu for the handsets. |

Amazon warehouse deals has the 610IP phone system (base and one handset) for $72.00. A lot of times, the AWD stuff is like new, probably customer remorse returns: » www.amazon.com/gp/offer- ··· ion=usedI still would not buy a TV from AWD though  And in response to some doubters, yes the ones I ordered as mentioned in the first post are really Gigaset C610H handsets, new in retail packaging, with handset charging base, wall wart for charging base, batteries, belt clip and instruction booklet. The only reason I can figure the low price is a) someone goofed up and ordered too many of these, b) Frontgate is not exactly where most people go when they look for geeky phones and c) their inventory is not getting any newer so why not just cut their losses and get rid of them before (as mgraves mentions) new models come out. |

Just received these handsets... nice build quality compared to the original units I got. Thank you, thank you, thank you. At $10 a piece this was a FANTASTIC deal even if with the more than $10 a piece to get them shipped. |
