Yealink T23GThe last great T2 — and still our T2 volume seller.

Why the T23G is on the catalog.

The T23G is the phone we sell more of than any other T2-series unit, and it earns the spot. It is the cheapest Yealink desk phone that gives you gigabit ethernet pass-through, the cheapest that gives you BLF-capable keys, and the cheapest that still gets active firmware updates. For most three-line desks in a normal office — small business reception, dental clerk, real-estate office — this is the answer.

Where it lands against siblings: the T22P below it is the same SKU minus gigabit and minus the extra keys, for $10 less — usually not worth the savings. The T23P is even more confusing — same chassis as the T23G but 100M only. We avoid stocking it. The T27G a step up doubles you to six SIP accounts, adds USB for a headset, and gets a slightly larger 240×120 screen, for $40 more — worth it for a power user but overkill for most desks.

Honest weakness: the screen is still monochrome. In 2026, a $20-more T33G with a color 2.4-inch panel makes the T23G look dated the moment you put them side by side. The reason to still pick the T23G is the chassis itself — the keypad feel is slightly better than the T33G's, the build is heavier, and the firmware is rock-solid after a decade of refinement. For a deployment where the user is going to put their hands on it every day for a decade, the T23G is the more comfortable phone.
