Customer Reviews:

bad connection.......2006-11-27

This phone didn't work well for us at all. The connection was always bad (fuzzy). My husband just went to Walgreen's and picked up a $10 phone and the connection is much better. I wouldn't recommend this phone.

Less than impressed.......2006-04-30

The old adage, "You get what you pay for," is applicable here. The base unit was functional enough, nothing special, and seemed to be well made. The cordless handset, although phyically decent, was totally inept and useless. According to the manual it was attributed to "interference in the 2.4ghz transmission frequency." There were so many caveats associated with the handset, "can't be near computer, radio, cell phone, microwave, cable TV, etc...." The recommended solutions were just as unuseable as the handset, "unplug the base, unhook the battery, reconnect both", "move the base closer to the handset," None of those worked, as a matter of fact in total desperation I put the cordless base right next to the corded base unit and it still did not work. I moved them both to the bedroom and still nothing, oh excuse me I did have a clock radio in there so that must have been responsible for insurmountable interference. Ended up returning the unit.

Good basic buy.......2006-03-17

I wanted a basic desktop phone without a lot of bells and whistles. Basic directory, speaker, mute, for home office. It has all these basic features with a portable handset as a bonus for a great price. Those listening to me on speaker say it is very clear, no static. Highly recommended for a basic home office phone.

No Caller ID Call Back Function.......2006-02-22

This phone has some nice features, including the easy to see back lit display, and the red blinking message light that indicates that my voice mail from the phone co has new messages. The one important feature missing is dial back of numbers shown in caller ID. It saves the 10 digit area code and number, i.e. 555-555-1234. If you press "display dial", it dials those 10 digits. In my area, like many, I think, there are times when you must only dial 7 digits, and other times when you must dial "1" plus the area code and then 7 digits. Dialing all ten digits for a call within my same area code won't go through, nor will a call outside my area code without a "1" before the 10 digits. I have other Caller ID Phones that prompt for these rules during set-up so that they know how to return calls with a one touch call back of the caller ID number shown. This one doen't.

Look Elsewhere.......2005-01-06

Within the 1st few weeks of owning the phone the cordless battery needed to be replaced. A few months later the cordless earpiece stopped producing sound. I've bought numerous $20 or less portables that are tougher and a better value. The base unit is fine but does nothing extraordinary that you can't get for less elsewhere.
