Functions and features that can be used with cordless telephones

The FRITZ!Box supports the DECT standard and the DECT-GAP profile. The DECT-GAP profile allows DECT devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other. The FRITZ!Box allows you to use all of the functions defined in this profile, as well as additional ones. Which functions can be used in addition to the ones covered by DECT-GAP depends on the telephone's manufacturer.

Gigaset compiled a compatibility list that you can use to check which functions can be used with different Gigaset devices.

  • Secure ("encrypted") calls
  • Call waiting

2 Functions that can possibly be used

CLIP can often be used

CLIP is a function for incoming calls. If callers transmit their telephone numbers, their numbers are shown on the telephone's display when they call. CLIP can be used with all FRITZ!Fons and many Gigaset devices. However, AVM cannot guarantee that CLIP will work with telephones from other manufacturers.

Telephone book and call list can possibly be used

You can access the FRITZ!Box telephone book and call list with any FRITZ!Fon and with CAT-iq 2.0-compatible cordless telephones from other manufacturers.

DECT Eco is rarely available

With DECT Eco, the DECT field is switched off completely as soon as all of the cordless telephones are in standby mode. DECT Eco can only be used if all of the cordless telephones registered with the FRITZ!Box support DECT Eco. Besides the FRITZ!Fon, some telephones from other manufacturers also support this function. However, AVM cannot guarantee that DECT Eco will work with telephones from other manufacturers.
