In August 2018 I was offered this Avaya J139 series prototype phone by an Avaya R&D lab technician John Domenegato. The J139 phone was being launched at the beginning of September 2018. Gord Webster the business leader and his Senior Manager Stephane Lefebvre offered it to me in exchange for a $100.00 bid to their October fundraising drive.

Gord Webster signed the phone and Stephane Lefebvre wrote a letter stating that this phone was the prototype used in the Ottawa Avaya R&D lab during the development process of the J139 series software.
