Grandstream has been producing VoIP phones with lots of features at affordable prices since 2002.
Their first ever Android VoIP phone comes in the form of the Grandstream GXP2200 for less than $250.00.
If you’ve used an Android smartphone before, then you already know more about what the Grandstream GXP2200 is than you thought you did.
Grandstream’s official product description for the GXP2200 is “Enterprise Multimedia Phone for Android.”
In simpler terms, that mean that the GXP2200 is a standard desktop VoIP phone that runs on the Android 2.3 operating system and it uses a color touchscreen for simple navigation.
The great thing about the GXP2200 is that it’s assimilating with the other technology consumers are using. Its user experience is similar to that of a smartphone or tablet.
You can customize the home screen with your favorite apps and the touchscreen allows you to drag, swipe, pinch, and zoom.
The Grandstream GXP2200 will feel very familiar right out of the box.

The Grandstream GXP2200 looks, feels, and sounds great with its HD Voice handset. If that’s good enough for you, skip this section.

Grandstream GXP2200 Video Features
As Tom Keating writes on the VoIP & Gadgets Blog, the GXP2200 can stream video but since it doesn’t have a built-in camera, it doesn’t transmit video.
However, Keating was able to get the Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam to work with the GXP2200. Click here to read the details.
If you need Skype video calling from your desktop phone, look to the Grandstream GXV3140 which is a Skype certified video phone.
Or, the Grandstream GXV3175 has a built-in camera, a 7 inch color screen, and is great for desktop video conferencing or video surveillance with Grandstream IP cameras.

This phone is for someone who needs an extra screen on their desk to mult-task and/or someone who uses custom business apps.
I use two monitors at work and didn’t think I’d need a 3rd screen. The GXP2200 is handy though. Instead of clicking and searching for the weather in yet another browser tab (I have 23 open right now), all I have to do is hit one button on the phone to wake it up and there it is – my local weather.
Simple example but, the same can be said for using the GXP2200 as a dedicated screen for your company’s Twitter feed, customer service email account, Facebook page, stock ticker, or whatever you want quick access to.
Custom Business Apps
The GXP2200 runs an open version of Android OS so you can use Google’s API to customize uses for your business. VoIP Supply uses a custom dashboard on our phones to display key numbers throughout the day. Other examples include:
There are many possibilities depending on your application.

Dear Team,
I am looking for a VOIP device which is capable for mixing backgroud music while we speak over the phone. The primary goal of this setup is that we need to make calls from VOIP phone (Device currently used is Grandstream BT-201) and we need music from computer running in the background and we will sing over the phone and on the other end they will hear both music and voice. Please suggest us which VOIP device can be used for this. Also please suggest how this can be achieved by any other means.
