[cisco-voip] Field Notice: Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.0(x) does not support some deprecated phone models - Cisco

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

5,000 sets x $300/set = $1.5 million.

“Mostly” in this case is quite significant.

I’m case you are not aware, getting MigrationFX for free means it doesn’t have to be hard or expensive:

This is one of the reasons Cisco are starting to depreciate handsets, upgrading phones is ‘mostly' a hardware cost.

Kind Regards

Unfortunately, a lot of the ability to replace things comes from the end of support dates and the actual deprecation of devices being published. Without that, funding is diverted to things that need it. At least we’re seeing these deprecation notices a bit sooner (I think) so that helps.

I’ll tell you – with over 5000 7940/60s in the field – it ain’t gonna be pretty. But we’re working on it.

My guess is because of SLED and GOV. The 40s and 60s were nearly indestructible tanks with many still running. Cisco maybe giving them a longer shelf life to make the CapEx burden for new handsets easier to spread by slowly transitioning those models.

I wouldn't count on them being around forever or much longer though :).
