Siemens 8825 Gigaset 2.4 GHz 2-Line Expandable Cordless Speakerphone with Answering System

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Siemens raises the bar with the 8825 Gigaset, a 2.4 GHz two-line expandable cordless communication system. Expandable to eight handsets, the 8825 offers a wide range of features, including a digital answering machine with four mailboxes. The voice-announced Caller ID (with subscription to service through your local carrier) uses your voice to announce incoming calls. Caller ID information and a directory of your 120 speed-dial presets are displayed on an easy-to-read backlit LCD. Siemens includes an extra handset (model 8000 Gigaset) with charger.

The lightweight handset provides call transfer, conferencing, intercom, and room monitoring. It weighs just 7 ounces and has controls for volume, call waiting, flash, and last-number redial. Two AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (included) provide eight hours of talk time and eight hours of standby. The base and cordless handsets provide digital speakerphones and headset jacks for hands-free conversation. Additional handsets require no extra phone jacks.

A built-in answering machine completes the system. It has four mailboxes, date and time stamp, individual announcements for each incoming line, and 45 minutes of recording time. The unit also supports full remote operation, so you can collect messages while you're away.

1 out of 5 stars Class action lawsuit.......2007-04-18

Maybe what Siemens needs is a class action lawsuit. I also owned an 8825, same bad experience as shared by other owners.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible phone system - STAY AWAY.......2006-11-15

I bought this phone system about two years ago at the insistence of my fiance at the time (now wife) so we could combine our phone systems after we moved in together. She loved the style and features of the phone (she works from home) and I had to agree - it was attractive with nice features.

Shortly after we moved in together and combined the system, the problems began. First, one of our two base unit's display failed, then the other base unit line 1 failed (line open - cannot hang up). We used the other one to replace the mother board and it worked fine for about six months, when that mother board (again, line 1) failed again. We purchased another base set on eBay to replace the one we had, and kept some of working parts from the other two base stations just in case. Sure enough, the display began to fail, so we replaced it with the one remaining, then sure enough, the motherboard failed. By this time, we noticed it seemed to fail around the time we had power outages (fairly common in the DC area). We purchased another base station and put it on a surge protector. Maybe four months later, it failed as well, again due to a power surge and despite the fact it was on a surge protector. This unit is unacceptably succeptable to power surges. My wife and I actually had discussed that that was the last base we would purchase, but she forgot and purchased another (yes, our fifth). Died this morning, after a power outage, again.

We've also had problems with the handset. We could never get one of them to synch to a couple of the bases, and the popping & cracking from our wireless LAN is both unbelievable and unacceptable.

Tomorrow my wife is going to go out and get the Panasonic 5.8 - we've read nothing but good stuff about it, have some other Panasonic equipment, and have been very happy (actually the phone I had before the Siemens was a Panasonic, and it worked flawlessly until I accidentally dropped it in the toilet).

Bottom line - this is trash, avoid it at all costs and if anyone has the gumption to file a class-action lawsuit against Siemens under our consumer lemon laws - sign me up.

1 out of 5 stars Believe all the negative comments on Siemens Phones.......2006-10-26

I have owned two complete Siemens Gigaset telephone systems, with bases and 5 remote handsets. The feature set and designed operation is excellent, especially for a home based business or small office. But it will all fail within a couple of years. When it happened the first time I thought it was a fluke, so I replaced everything, with the saem results. LCD displays fail, charging stands fail, handsets fail, sound quality drops to zero. If anyone knows of a quality replacement (Panasonic?) please post your thoughts, but I will stay a long way from Siemens products in the future.

1 out of 5 stars Skip this phone.......2006-07-20

The AC adapter for my phone just died so I call the phone number they plaster on the phone and on every manual. The recording says to email them or goto their website and then it hangs up. Why even give a phone number? I email them as instructed and the email comes back as not working. So I am still trying to figure out how to make a warranty claim.

With that said, like many others I hear an annoying clicking on the portable phone as well. Also the controls are not very intuitive. You will have to use the manual repeatedly.

On the good side it is an attractive design and the portable phone battery lasts for a long period of time.

1 out of 5 stars Seimens 8825 Gigaset system is junk.......2006-05-14

I was looking forward to getting this system for it's great features, but once I set this system up its been one moment of frustration after another. We began having problems with this system from day one. The cordless phone sound quality is horrible with annoying clicks and pops on all the 3 cordless phones that I purchased. The phones have problems with the redial and directory calling functions. It seems to have a problem not dialing the first digit of the calling number, so I have to manually dial the number EVERY time. This makes it useless for quick callbacks from either the directory or from the caller id list. The base system's LCD screen went out so that it displays only garbage on the screen. The cordless phones have an annoying intermittent contact problem with the chargers. They randomly begin beeping every 2 seconds until you slam the phone back in the charger. Calling their support people is a further exercise in frustration and gets me no where with this product. This is one of the worst and frustrating products I've ever purchased. Buyer beware.
