Yealink and Grandstream are the two SIP phone brands most Australian businesses choose between, and ARC IP Networks stocks both. Yealink has the broader current range (desk, DECT, headsets, Teams-native phones and meeting rooms), the widest provider support and the most polished audio and interface. Grandstream's GRP series offers more lines and keys for the money and bundles dual-screen phones and DECT at lower price points. For most offices we recommend Yealink; for budget-driven rollouts on a SIP PBX, Grandstream is a sound alternative.
ARC IP Networks is a trusted Yealink supplier in Australia: genuine Yealink stock with the full manufacturer's warranty, delivered Australia-wide at competitive prices, with local pre-sales help for businesses, installers and IT providers.
Model for model
| Category | Yealink | Grandstream | Our take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry desk phone | T31P / T33G | Grandstream GRP2601P / Grandstream GRP2612G | Comparable. T33G has Gigabit and EHS headset support; GRP2612G has Gigabit and a colour screen too. |
| Mid-range office phone | T43U / T46U | Grandstream GRP2614 / Grandstream GRP2616 | Grandstream's dual-screen GRP2614/2616 give many BLF keys without a module; Yealink has dual USB and the EXP43 module. |
| Premium / wireless desk phone | T54W / T57W | Grandstream GRP2650 / Grandstream GRP2670 | Both have Wi-Fi models; GRP2670 is an Android touch phone like Yealink's T58W. |
| Expansion module | EXP43, EXP50 | Grandstream GBX20 | Equivalent: 60 keys over 3 pages (EXP43) vs 40 keys over 2 pages (GBX20). |
| DECT cordless | W70B base, W73H, W57R, W59R | Grandstream DP752 base, Grandstream DP722, Grandstream DP730 (IP67) | W70B takes 10 handsets and 20 calls; DP752 takes 5 handsets and 5 calls. Yealink wins for larger teams. |
| DECT repeater | RT30 | Grandstream DP760 | Both extend the base. |
| Wi-Fi handset | — | Grandstream WP822 | Grandstream's rugged Wi-Fi handset has no direct Yealink equivalent in our range. |
| Headsets | WH, BH and UH series (DECT, Bluetooth, USB) | Limited | Yealink has the full headset line with Teams-certified variants. |
| Microsoft Teams native | MP52, MP54, MP56, MP58 | Limited in our range | Yealink for Teams. |
| Meeting rooms | MeetingBar, MeetingBoard, MVC, CP conference phones | Limited in our range | Yealink for video and conference rooms. |

Where each brand is stronger
Yealink
- Range depth. One brand covers desk phones, Teams phones, DECT, headsets, conference phones and meeting rooms, which keeps management, spares and firmware in one ecosystem.
- Provider support. Yealink is the first handset most Australian hosted VoIP providers test and auto-provision.
- DECT scale. Ten handsets and twenty calls per W70B base, plus the W75/W80/W90 multi-cell systems for large sites.
- Headsets and Teams. Native Teams phones and Teams-certified headsets across DECT, Bluetooth and USB.
Grandstream
- Keys per dollar. The GRP2614 and GRP2616 put a second screen of programmable keys on the phone itself, which suits reception desks without buying a module.
- Rugged Wi-Fi. The WP822 Wi-Fi handset covers warehouses and retail floors over existing Wi-Fi rather than DECT.
- Networking in the same family. Grandstream's GWN routers and access points are managed with the phones in GDMS, which appeals to small sites that want one vendor for everything.
- Price. Grandstream handsets are generally cheaper like for like on a SIP PBX such as 3CX, FreePBX or Asterisk.
Can I mix them?
Yes. Both are standard SIP phones, so Yealink and Grandstream handsets can sit on the same PBX. Keep each site on one brand where you can, so staff learn one interface and you stock one set of spares, but mixing a Grandstream WP822 Wi-Fi handset into a Yealink office is perfectly workable.
Our recommendation
- Office with hosted VoIP, headsets, or any Teams or meeting-room requirement: Yealink.
- Budget rollout on 3CX or a SIP PBX, lots of BLF keys at reception: Grandstream GRP series is worth pricing.
- Large cordless deployments: Yealink DECT.
- Wi-Fi handsets: Grandstream WP822.
ARC IP Networks supplies both brands as genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer's warranty, so you can choose on fit rather than on what a reseller happens to carry.
Representative picks from both brands
The Yealink office standard: 16 lines, colour screen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
6 lines with dual colour screens and 48 programmable keys, PoE. Grandstream's reception favourite.
Ten handsets and twenty calls per base; the scalable cordless choice.

Common questions
Straight answers from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.
For most Australian offices, yes: Yealink has the broader current range (desk, DECT, headsets, Teams-native phones and meeting rooms), the widest hosted-provider support and larger DECT capacity. Grandstream is a sound, lower-cost alternative on a SIP PBX, especially where reception wants many BLF keys without an expansion module.
Grandstream handsets are generally cheaper like for like, and its dual-screen GRP2614 and GRP2616 avoid buying an expansion module. Yealink costs a little more and returns a deeper range and broader provider support. ARC IP Networks quotes both at competitive Australian pricing.
Yes. Both are standard SIP phones and can share a PBX or hosted provider. Keeping one brand per site simplifies training and spares, but mixing, for example a Grandstream WP822 Wi-Fi handset into a Yealink office, works fine.
Yealink. A W70B base supports 10 handsets and 20 simultaneous calls and scales to W75/W80/W90 multi-cell systems; the Grandstream DP752 supports 5 handsets and 5 calls. Grandstream's DP730 and Yealink's W59R both offer IP67 rugged handsets.
Yealink, with the MP52, MP54, MP56 and MP58 Teams-native phones, Teams-certified headsets across DECT, Bluetooth and USB, and MeetingBar and MeetingBoard room systems. Grandstream's Teams range in Australia is limited.
