Is it possible to use oy own Grandstream HT801 ?

Post by electronics2001 »

I already have a GrandStream HT801 which is not locked.
My question is: if I register with fongo, then do I have the option to not purchase the adapter and configure my own instead ?

The option is not available online, and Fongo does not publish its provisioning link.

Is this scenario technically possible? Yes. Will Fongo allow it? I don't know for sure, but I suspect the answer is no.
