The SPPA2780 from Sony is a two-in-one phone with a fully digital answering system and an extra cordless handset with a charging cradle. The SPPA2780 utilizes the 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum signal, providing clearer reception than traditional 900 MHz phones. Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the SPPA2780 stores up to 70 numbers in its caller ID memory and up to 100 numbers in its jog dial memory.
The all-digital answering machine offers up to 20 minutes of recording time and is accessible from both the base and the extra handset. Users can add up to three handsets (for a total of four cordless plus the corded base handset) to this system, each of which can then be used in walkie-talkie mode to communicate with the others.
The SPPA2780 comes with a speakerphone, although conferencing is not provided, meaning that when one phone is in use, the others are disabled. The NiCad battery for the cordless handset provides up to five hours of talk time and up to six days on standby, while a low battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle for charging.
The SPPA 2780 is headset compatible and comes with a belt clip to provide hands-free operation. The base has a 7.01-by-8.27-inch footprint and can be wall mounted, freeing up desktop or counter space completely. A visual voicemail indicator alerts you to messages in your mailbox, while a page/handset locator provides a quick and easy way to locate a lost handset. The SPPA2780 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

Customer Reviews:
Buttons Don't Work.......2004-11-23
BUT DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! 6 months after I purchased it the cordless handsets starting having problems with the keypads. I purchased the system and 2 additional phones. That's a total of 4 cordless phones. Every single phone, without exception developed problems with the keypad. At first the numbers are hard to press, then over time certain numbers on the keypad stop working all together. If this only happened to one of the cordless phones I would have written it off to a bad one in the bunch. But EVERY cordless phone developed the problem.
Don't even get me started on the Sony's support crappy support. I gave up and purchased aonther phone system.
Up until I purchased this phone system I had been extremely happy with my Sony purchases. This has definately soured me. I'll think twice about buying any Sony product. Last thing I want is to have to deal with some guy in India who doesn't understand me next time I have a problem.

I particularly like the speakerphone (base unit only) and the answering machine (base unit only but accessible via handsets), both are easy to use. The 2.4 GHz handset has never let me down, quality always good. To be fair, we live in a 1 br. apartment so dropout has never been an issue. Even so, neither 802.11 nor microwave ovens have posed a hassle to the quality of calls made via the handset.
All in all, I think this is a great phone, it's lasted me three years now and it's still going strong. It gets a LOT of use, I can't think of too many electronics products nowadays that last more than 12 months, in this regard the Sony phone is a standout.
Also, to the other reviewer who was looking for a replacement battery (my original battery died after about 18 months) for the handset, I got one from Radio Shack for about $12.95 in about a week, not a problem. Even better, it is a 1000 mAh battery as opposed to the feeble 700 mAh one that came with the phone, so talk-time is longer.
