Purchase award-winning, SmartNode PRI VoIP IADs at their competitive prices and Patton (News - Alert) will buy your old VoIP equipment. Patton’s VoIP IAD Port-Replacement Program offers cash rebates up to $1,295 for each T1/E1 PRI VoIP Gateway (News - Alert) or Integrated Access Device users ship to the company. Here’s how it works: Patton Electronics is offering a one-to-one VoIP Port-Replacement with the purchase of any SN4960 or SN4961 unit. Patton will pay up to $1,295.00 for any aging, obsolete, discontinued or bad-decision unit returned to Patton or Patton-Inalp. The value of the trade-in is based on number of calls supported by traded-in equipment and may be applied to purchase of a SmartNode that supports equal or greater number of calls. All T1/E1 VoIP gateway products will qualify for this program. Your payment/credit will arrive approximately four weeks after Patton receives your trade-in unit. The offer will expire on Dec. 31, 2010. The VoIP-Port-Replacement Program is not valid with any other Patton promotional offers or deviated price programs.
