Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,000, brand new and sealed, with integrated Power over Ethernet, two lines, two SIP accounts and five-way audio conferencing. This black desk phone carries a 2.21-inch backlit LCD, dual switched 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and HD audio on both the handset and the full-duplex speakerphone. The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone belongs to the GRP series, which Grandstream positions as carrier-grade hardware for service providers and large deployments. You can lift the handset and try the keys at our showroom in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for receptionists, SACCO tellers, hospital nurses' stations, hotel front desks and school bursars across Kenya, the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone handles daily call traffic without fuss. Many offices still run a single analogue line, so callers hear an engaged tone while staff are busy on another call. This phone connects to an IP PBX or a hosted SIP trunk over Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom fibre, giving each desk its own extension and a second line for call waiting. One cable carries both data and power from a PoE switch, so installers in Westlands or Industrial Area run fewer wires.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell desk phones as sealed boxes and leave setup to the buyer, Mascom International answers provisioning questions before and after the sale. At Mascom International, we're seeing offices choose the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone when they need dozens of identical handsets at a sensible unit price, since every extra KSh 500 adds up across a 30-desk rollout. Customers across Nairobi tell us the five-way conference feature saves them booking a meeting room for short calls. Visit the store Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or order the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone
How much is the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone in Kenya?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone costs KSh 6,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the phone, handset with cord, base stand, network cable and a 12-month warranty, plus pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. No power adapter comes in the box, because this model is meant to run on PoE. The Grandstream GXP1625 IP Phone sits KSh 500 higher at KSh 6,500, and the Wi-Fi-equipped Grandstream GRP2602W IP Phone costs KSh 2,000 more at KSh 8,000.
Does the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone need a power adapter, or does it run on PoE?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone runs on Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af, Class 1), so a PoE switch or injector powers it through the network cable. It draws about 3.84W, light enough for one small PoE switch to run many desks at once. If your office has no PoE switch, a separate 5V, 600mA adapter will power it instead, but none is included in the box. Mascom International stocks PoE switches and can advise on the right port count for your office.
How does the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone cope with KPLC power cuts in Kenya?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone keeps working through KPLC power cuts when its PoE switch sits on a UPS. Because each phone takes power from the network cable, one UPS in the server cabinet backs up every desk at once, instead of a battery under each table. Put the router, the PBX and the fibre terminal on that same UPS. Hospitals, banks and SACCO branches use this layout so patients and members can still get through when the lights go out.
Should I buy the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone or the Grandstream GXP1625 IP Phone?
Both support two lines and run on PoE, but they suit different desks. The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone costs KSh 6,000, adds the Opus codec and five-way conferencing, and supports mass setup through Grandstream's GDMS cloud platform. The Grandstream GXP1625 IP Phone costs KSh 6,500, offers three-way conferencing and more dedicated buttons, including Hold, Conference and Record, plus a power supply in the box. Pick the cheaper GRP model for large managed rollouts, and the GXP model for staff who prefer one-touch keys.
How many SIP accounts and lines does the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone support?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone supports two lines and two SIP accounts. In practice, one account can register to your office PBX while the second registers to a separate SIP trunk or a branch system. Two lines let you hold one caller while answering another, or join both into a conference. Desks that need more accounts, such as a manager covering several departments, should look at the Grandstream GRP2602W IP Phone at Mascom International, which supports four SIP accounts.
Which phone systems work with the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone works with phone systems built on the SIP standard (RFC 3261), including Grandstream's own UCM IP PBX range and hosted PBX services. IT teams can set up many units at once through Grandstream GDMS or TR-069, using AES-encrypted XML configuration files. TLS and SRTP encryption protect both call setup and the voice stream. That matters for law firms, clinics and accounting offices in Upper Hill that handle confidential conversations over shared office networks.
Is the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone good for hospitals, hotels and call desks?
The Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone suits hospital wards, hotel front desks and school offices where staff mainly answer and transfer calls. Its RJ9 headset jack supports electronic hook switch (EHS) headsets from Plantronics, Jabra and Sennheiser, so staff can answer from the headset without touching the handset. Wideband G.722 and Opus codecs carry clearer voices on noisy floors. Mascom International also stocks office headsets that suit this phone, and the five-way conference handles quick shift handovers.
Who should buy the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone, and who should skip it?
Buy the Grandstream GRP2601P IP Phone if you are equipping many desks on a PoE network and want solid two-line calling at KSh 6,000 per desk. Skip it if a desk has no network cable, because the Grandstream GRP2602W IP Phone connects over Wi-Fi instead. Receptionists who watch many colleagues' lines need the eight BLF keys and gigabit ports on the Grandstream GXP1628 IP Phone. Staff who walk around a warehouse or ward suit the Grandstream DP720 DECT Cordless IP Phone better.
Technical Specifications
Display and Keys
- 2.21-inch backlit graphical LCD at 132 x 48 pixels — shows caller ID, line status and menus clearly, even in a dim corridor.
- Four programmable context-sensitive soft keys — their on-screen labels change to match each task, such as transfer, conference or directory search.
- Five navigation and menu keys — move through contacts, call history and settings without memorising star codes.
- Eight dedicated function keys: Message, Transfer, Headset, Mute, Send/Redial, Speakerphone, Volume Up and Volume Down — common actions take one press.
- Message key with LED indicator — lights up when voicemail is waiting, so a missed caller is not forgotten after lunch.
Audio and Call Handling
- HD audio on the handset and full-duplex speakerphone — both sides can talk at once without voices cutting out on speaker.
- Wideband G.722 and Opus codecs — a codec packs voice for the network; these carry fuller, clearer speech than an old landline.
- Also supports G.711, G.729A/B, G.726, G.723 and iLBC — works with most SIP trunks, including low-bandwidth links between branch offices.
- Five-way audio conferencing — join up to five people on one call without paying for a separate conference bridge.
- Echo cancellation, automatic gain control, packet loss concealment and an adaptive jitter buffer — keep voices steady when the internet line is busy.
Network and Power
- Dual switched 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet ports — one wall cable feeds the phone, and the second port passes the network to a desk computer.
- Integrated PoE, IEEE 802.3af Class 1, about 3.84W — the network cable carries power, so no wall socket is needed at the desk.
- IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet support — the port uses less electricity when idle, trimming running costs across a large office.
- Optional external supply, 100-240V AC input and 5V 600mA output — for desks without PoE; the adapter is sold separately.
- IPv6, 802.1x authentication, LLDP and PPPoE support — fits managed corporate networks that control which devices may connect.
Accounts and Platform Compatibility
- Two lines and two SIP accounts — register to two different phone systems or providers on a single handset.
- SIP RFC 3261 standard — works with SIP-based IP PBX systems and hosted SIP trunk services rather than one locked platform.
- TLS and SRTP encryption — TLS protects call setup and SRTP scrambles the voice itself, keeping conversations private on shared networks.
- Mass provisioning through Grandstream GDMS or TR-069 — an IT team configures hundreds of phones from one dashboard instead of desk by desk.
- AES-encrypted XML configuration and firmware upgrades over FTP, TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS — settings stay protected and updates install remotely.
Build and Inclusions
- Dimensions of 208 x 180 x 63.4 mm with handset — fits a reception counter or narrow desk without crowding the keyboard.
- Unit weight of 650 g, or 810 g packaged — light to move between offices, yet steady on the desk during calls.
- Base stand with one 45-degree angle position — tilts the screen toward the user for easier reading from a chair.
- Wall mountable, with the wall mount sold separately — suits corridors, hospital wards, staff kitchens and lift lobbies.
- RJ9 headset jack with EHS support for Plantronics, Jabra and Sennheiser — a headset can answer and end calls hands-free.
