The dual mode functionality of the Siemens Gigaset A580 IP offers you two ways to call friends and family all around the world. One can switch between VoIP and fixed-line calls at the touch of a button. Even with your PC turned off, you can enjoy the convenience of internet calls in exceptional sound quality thanks to HDSP™ technology¹. The Siemens Gigaset A580 IP is multi-line so you are free to register up to 6 handsets for 6 SIP accounts from different providers and make up to 3 calls in parallel: 2 VoIP calls and 1 fixed-line call. There is a whole package of Next Generation features on this phone, including free info services such as RSS feeds, weather forecasts, a bid-watcher for eBay and an online phonebook search¹ all directly accessible from the handset. And with its energy-saving ECO DECT technology, calling is better for the environment.

If you are looking for a dual mode multi-line phone for internet calls with PC-off convenience, then the Gigaset A580 IP is the smart choice.

Dual-mode phone and multi-line calling
The Gigaset A580 IP lets you switch between internet and fixed-line phoning at the touch of a button – so you can easily choose the type of phoning that suits your needs. Up to 3 people can make calls at the same time – up to 2 VoIP calls and 1 fixed-line call. For VoIP calls or the configuration of your internet telephony you don’t even have to switch your PC on. With up to 6 handsets you can even experience the convenience of multi-line calling. With your Gigaset A580 IP, you can also choose up to 6 SIP accounts from different providers.

Exceptional sound with High Definition Sound Performance™ ¹
The Gigaset A580 IP features innovative HDSP™ ¹ technology, allowing you to enjoy internet calls in exceptional sound quality. No hissing, no distortion – nothing but excellent voice clarity and exceptional sound. Whether talking to friends or family, you can communicate comfortably and catch every detail. And when you call anyone else who has a phone that supports HDSP™ ¹ via your broadband connection, you hear every inflection in the other person’s voice when they speak. This way you experience calls that sound more like face-to-face conversations. Even if you are completing other tasks, you can still experience the High Definition Sound Performance™ ¹ using the hands-free function of the Gigaset A580 IP.

Gigaset.net and info services
With the Gigaset A580 IP, you can start phoning your friends and family over the internet immediately via Gigaset.net. When you purchase the phone, you just have to sign in and join this exclusive Gigaset IP network community. That means you’ll be able to make free VoIP calls to anyone else with a Gigaset IP phone – anywhere and anytime – and you won’t even need an account with a VoIP provider. What’s more, you’ll be able to access free info services as a live ticker such as the weather forecast, a bid-watcher for eBay or RSS feeds from your favorite websites right onto your handset via the screensaver – even with your PC turned off. You can also access an online phonebook search¹ directly via your Gigaset A580 IP handset. That means you can quickly find any number you need and dial straight away.

The energy-efficient way of staying in touch: ECO DECT
With innovative ECO DECT technology, the Gigaset A580 IP uses up to 60% less energy than our conventional cordless phones thanks to an energy-saving power supply. It helps you save money and is better for the environment. Like all Gigaset cordless phones, it also variably reduces transmitting power from the handset to base station according to their distance apart. Choosing ECO Mode on this model allows you to reduce the base station’s transmitting power by 80%². When docked³, both handset and base station reduce the transmission power to almost zero. This way, you benefit from the Gigaset A580 IP’s more energyefficient way of staying in touch.

A purely smart phone designed for keeping in touch with friends and family all over the world, the Siemens Gigaset A580 IP offers all the benefits of VoIP and fixed-line calls with PC-off convenience.

¹ Dependent on country/network/operator
² For all registered handsets – in comparison to when ECO Mode is not
activated and to our conventional cordless phones
³ With 1 registered handset

Does it have an answering machine?

Also does it have the shockingly bad keypad that the rest of the current Siemens range has?

VoIP does not always mean Skype. Does this phone support Skype?

how I can use the messenger (jabber compliant) on this phone? I set the jabber server and credential but I don't find the relative menu voices.
