Compatibility was established following rigorous testing under the Yealink ITSP Partner Programme. It enables TheVoiceFactory to extend its SIP handset portfolio and offer its customers the stylish T48GN colour touchscreen to use on their hosted platform.
This will prove a powerful combination as it brings together a fast and reliable managed network with a handset designed to enable swift switching between applications and offering built-in Gigabit connectivity.
Commenting on the announcement, TheVoiceFactory’s Paul Harrison said: “We’re delighted to have successfully completed interoperability testing and now have the opportunity to offer The Voice Factory’s customers access to the SIP-T48GN. This is a particularly stylish and feature rich handset offering exceptional quality audio and video experiences, resilience and reliability.”
Welcoming the announcement Yealink’s Business Development Manager Peter Holland commented: “Thorough interoperability testing has confirmed that harnessing TheVoiceFactory’s hosted voice services with our flagship handset creates a thoroughly compelling, cutting-edge proposition for end-users.”
To ensure swift and seamless “plug and play” installation Yealink handsets will be supplied to The Voice Factory pre-programmed so that they will automatically connect to the company’s provisioning server.

Standard features include an XML browser, three-way conferencing and caller ID with name, number and photograph.
