[cisco-voip] Deprecated phones in CUCM 14

We’re still running 10 year old 79x5s (despite their cold boot RAM failure issue) and won’t be replacing them until next year at the earliest, I think most organisations would want to sweat at least 10 years out of their handsets. I mean what features does an 8800 have over an old 7940 if all you want is dialtone? Yes security etc, but why pay for new handsets when you get nothing for it? Plus I bet COVID is making business reconsider upgrading handsets in empty offices.

This statement from the link is interesting to me:

"...opportunity to move to newer phone models and clients at a pace that is reasonable."


  *   8800 series was released 8 years ago
  *   7940's have been end of support since 5 years ago

Yeah, there was some talk about this in the forums. Someone from Cisco said, “watch the page for some changes we think you’ll like”.

Wish they would update the “updated” date.

Hello,

So, Cisco changed their mind for now:
