Remember the good 'ole days? When you actually made fat margins on the VoIP hardware products you sold.
It was great. You made 25, 30, even 35 points of margin (and that's on top of any services you performed).
Unfortunately those days are long gone. Over the last few years vendors and distributors in the VoIP industry have commoditized hardware and driven margins to the brink of extinction.
Leaving many channel partners frustrated and scrambling to make ends meet. It's not pretty, but you know it's the truth.
Imagine how nice it would be if there was a VoIP hardware channel program out there that provided up to 50% margins, street price protection, marketing funds, rebates and a team of individuals dedicated to your success as a channel partner.
You'd jump at the opportunity to be a part of that right?
What if I told you that there IS a channel program that offers all of this and more. You're not imagining this. This channel program really does exist.

Quickphones is not so good. pay extra for G729 the batteries NEVER last 7 days on standby , and the batteries die completely after several month. I suppose if one wants to support cheap Chinese hardware one might make money but waste a lot of time.
Of 3 batteries in 3 units 2 now have completely dead batteries and although quickphones ensured us that this battery problem was fixed in a firmware upgrade after applying that firmware another died.
Sounds a lot to me like the old days of importing cheap chinese hardware that always had buggy firemware and was never really fixed.
