provides a search page for all aspects of the service , for example ask for all UK phones and a directory list of numbers allocated with UK are provided.
Ip phones are readily available new and second hand eBay being a good source of cheap units ,look at the list of supported phones on the Hamshack hotline site before buying as this makes provisioning of service much more straightforward.
Expect to pay between £25 and £40 for a full featured unit the example in the picture above is the Cisco SPA 525G ,make sure any secondhand unit is unlocked from its previous provider ,these feature phones have things like apps for weather and local news reports etc. As well as the useful conference facility and ability to call astrix services like Allstar !

An update to DNS has seen some changes this was posted on the new Discord page:
We now have an HTTP provisioning method. You can use the below HTTP script in your browser:
http://x.x.x.x/admin/resync?http://apps.hamshackhotline.com:2443/spacfg-$MA.cfg
(Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your phone)
Note: Re-provisioning will erase customized data you have. Make sure you write down any customized data so you can re-enter it. (edited)
