Is there any beta program so we can get it earlier?

I am in a similar situation where multicast paging is absolutely necessary. Without it its a deal breaker. Unfortunately, they have to have the T3x phones due to certain requirements. We would certainly like to see multicast released soon for this series of phones.

We've used Cisco and Polycom phones and have found that Yealink phones are by far the best deal, best overall functionality and in my opinion a better product. If multicast can be supported, I know we would be able to sell to several large customers in our area. The single biggest issue is our customers sign up for hosted systems and when they run a page all (using Asterisk, but the same with any hosted PBX), you have separate channels running to each device. This is obviously not very good when you have 75 phones and page all 75.

If there is a beta program to open up for the T3x series, please let us know.

Hello,
Don't worry, please contact your local distributor, they will contact our special technical support team to deal with this.
Any other questions please let us know.
