Many SIP phone enthusiasts consider the Locktec WP04 WiFi IP SIP phone a major advancement in SIP phone technology. Honestly, this SIP phone makes the rest look like ancient technology.

Looks That Matter
The phone display, for me, is one of the more important aspects of any phone. I’ve got to face it – I’m not getting any younger and my eyes are the first to give out. Luckily, the Locktec WP04 has a TFT clear color display, plus screen and keypad dimming. This makes a big difference, I tell you.

Aside from this, the Locktec WP04 is light, weighing in at only 3 ounces, and comes in basic white and black cover design.

The Perks
The basic perk of this phone is its long standby time and decent talk time. Standby is at 140 hours, while talk time is at 7.5 hours. These, by far, are some of the more impressive battery power stats I’ve come across when it comes to SIP phones.

A great feature of the Locktec WP04 is its ability to dial SIP accounts, regular phone numbers, and even IP addresses. Thus, two Locktec SIP phones in one network can call each other without using any SIP account credits. This multi-dialing feature also makes WiFi hotspots great hangout places when I just need to check my voicemail or call people within my network – all for free.

Other notable features of the Locktec WP04 are its anonymous call capability, missed call, caller ID, hands-free, mute modes, and HD audio. There’s also a WiFi search function, which goes perfectly with its multi-dialing feature.

SIP Phone Accounts
Now, this really got me swooning – with the Locktec WP04 SIP phone you can have up to 4 SIP accounts configured in just one phone. This is a sweet deal for all those with multi-accounts for US-Canada calls and international calling. In my case, I just love that my phone can do all these things. (I don’t need this feature now because I have an ENN account.)
