Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Remote operation feature is garbage.......2007-04-07

I've had this phone for 5 years or so. The phone itself is OK. But today I wanted to use the remote operation to check messages from 3200 miles away.

It doesn't work. The manual says that the user must press and hold each number of the password for 2 seconds. Another reviewer mentioned that this doesn't work with cell phones--he's right--and I discovered it also does not work with modern cordless phones either. Modern phones send tones for just a brief fraction of a second, no matter how long you press the key.

I don't have a phone around here old enough to check the messages. When I get back home, this phone is going in the garbage.

4 out of 5 stars Good answering machine phone.......2007-01-17

Need a corded phone that works in power outages? This one does the job for a very good price.

Speakerphone function, digital answering maching, and good basicfeatures as well.

Not a bad phone at all, and at a very good price for sure!

3 out of 5 stars It's not as good as my old one.......2005-09-24

It does what it's supposed to do, but the remote access doesn't work too well. You can only delete all messages rather that deleting them individually, and you must keep the remote password that comes with the phone - you cannot change it to something you want.

2 out of 5 stars poor design.......2005-02-24

1. Remote operation: You cannot use a cell phone to check messages remotely on this phone (Southwest Bell Help Line) making this service useless for most operators.
2. Limited technical help - required four days to have phone call returned.
3. Poor sound quality on the digital message system.
4. Garbled instructional messages built into the machine which cannot be turned off.

2 out of 5 stars poor design.......2004-12-31

It works, and it takes messages, but I expected more.

1) You need the manual to use this one - nothing is intuitive.
i.e. There are TWO buttons labeled erase, and they only work in certain modes. huh?
2) To set the time, you cannot use the key pad, you have to use the review side switch to go through minute-by-minute with the annoying/scary son of Dek Talk voice saying every minute... by the time it says minute FORteeFIVE I wished I had waited until 1 AM to set it.
3) It has to tell you the instructions verbally every time you use it - I couldn't figure out how to turn the annoying voice off.
4) Annoying voice.
5) Even with all the audio information it does not have a beep function to signal new messages.
