SEMI OT: Where to get SIP phones?

Orange's smartbox has an analog interface (which they connect to your
existing POTS line) and a DECT interface. They don't give you SIP phones.

Subject: SEMI OT: Where to get SIP phones?

Looking back at an old email I sent to this list, around 5 years ago,  
I was commenting about a device for connecting a POTS phone to a USB  
port.

Someone commented that it was a waste of money because you could buy  
SIP phones for under 300 NIS and posted a link. That link is long dead.
The cheapest I could find were listed on Zap for 600 NIS.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source of SIP phones in Israel,  
preferably cheap.

While expensive, fancy phones would be nice for business, cheaper  
ones, for home or small office use would be more of what I want. DECT  
or WiFi phones, would be good too.

What does Orange give it's VoIP customers? Is that a SIP phone, or is  
just a DECT phone connected to their SIP router (OBOX)?

BTW, if anyone has an old or used SIP or CISCO phones they would like  
to find a home for, I would appreicate them, and possibly can pay a  
little money for them.

Thanks, Geoff.

New word I coined 12/13/09, "Sub-Wikipedia" adj, describing knowledge  
or understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the  
situation. i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found  
in the Wikipedia.
