If you have one, and want to confirm, just do a factory reset using the button on the back.

Then try to logon using admin password, "admin".

If you get in, we're good, but go ahead and also check the following fields on the Advanced Settings page...

"Firmware Server Path"
"Config Server Path"

They should both point to a grandstream address, not some kind of walmart or basic talk address.

Even if grandstream is provisioning the device for basic talk, you can easily defeat this by changing the config server path, so long as you can access the device as admin.

Just need someone who has one of these in their possession to verify that they can get in as admin after a reset.

Thanks!
Greenlantern, the basic talk ht-701's are locked. Even after a factory reset, you still cannot get in. I'm reading up on this, and it appears they have custom firmware in place.
