I couldn't figure it out on my own. I tried to purchase a Smartnet for the phone, but the original 7960 is not supported.

Is it technically possible and if so, what would it cost me to have someone remote into my network and upgrade my SCCP 7960 to the latest SIP firmware?

Mike,

I am using a 7960 as my desk phone with Asterisk 1.2.26. It WAS a pain to upgrade but I found the key was to start at the oldest Cisco SIP firmware available. It would not eat any other version until I began from the beginning. I have yet to find time to get mine up to date. I am running application POS3-03-00, boot load PC030301. You can find it on Cisco's site since you have smartnet, (I also buy smartnet for every Cisco phone I will be using).

Overall I am VERY impressed. I have used Grandstream Sad Aastra Smile Polycom Smile and Linksys Smile and Avaya Smile phones on Asterisk. First place for handset sound quality is a close tie between Polycom, Avaya, and Cisco. Absolute first place for speaker phone is Polycom. First place for easy config is Aastra. Last place for everything is Grandstream. :-O

Good luck,
Jim

Mike, I know you are a very happy customer of Sigma Networks ( Smile )...
I'd be happy to upgrade the phone to 8.3.3SR2 for you.

Due to Cisco being a PITA and that most everything else sucks, I'm going Polycom with everything going forward.

As expected, Jim took care of me WRT the Cisco upgrade. It is now far more
usable than when it was SCCP... I gave up on trying to get SCCP working in
Asterisk after upgrading to 1.4 from 1.0. Due to his generosity, I feel I
owe him to recommend his termination\origination services. The one or two
times I've had any issue, he has been quick to respond and took care of me.
