IBM 3455 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone with Call Waiting, Caller ID, and Headset

Amazon.com Product Description
Built with many extras, the IBM 3455 cordless phone operates easily but offers the most important features that users of contemporary phone services look for. Featuring a three-line LCD built into the handset, the 3455 is compatible with caller ID services offered by your local phone company. It boasts extended range and clarity, thanks to 2.4 GHz operation, and an out-of-range warning beep so that you know just how far into the backyard you can go before losing a call. The phone stores 30 names and numbers and displays them on an easy-to-read LCD for quick callback, and a 20-number speed-dial directory and a convenient 10-number memory permits easy redialing.

50-channel auto scan finds the clearest among the available channels, and 65,000 digital security codes help protect your phone line from unauthorized intrusion. In addition, a PC/fax data jack lets you hook up your modem or fax machine without unplugging the phone. The phone also comes with a headset for easy, hands-free conversations (not shown). The battery lasts up to eight hours when talking or seven days on standby. IBM backs the phone with a 90-day warranty.

Customer Reviews:

Avoid this Product, poor reliability x4.......2003-11-04

I have 4 of these phones, all have failed within 14 months of purchase. They all seam to have lost communication with their base. No signal to or from headset. Replaced all 4 with Panasonic phones with great results.
Also, the IBM 3455 has very low maximum volume, sound not amplified enough to hear clearly even on the highest setting. all 4 phones were identical.
Found no support so far from IBM online so far as far as any recalls or known repairs. I guess they are bound for the trash.

This phone is awful........2002-08-14

We've had this phone for about six months now. I dread using it. I'll walk clear across the house to pick up another phone even if this phone is directly in front of me. Clarity on this phone is non-existent. If I am forced to use this phone, I can barely hear the caller, even on the highest volume setting; I always end up screaming at the caller to speak up, then they hang up on me. I have the same problems every time I use this phone. I HATE IT.

good value for the price.......2002-07-29

Reception is very good. I had no problems with call waiting & caller ID. However, you cannot edit the phone book. If you want to change a stored number, you have to delete it then reenter all the information. But for a basic caller ID display phone with good reception, which is what I wanted, I'm happy--especially since I got the phone from a discounter.

Expected more from IBM........2002-06-17

There is no way to turn off auto-answer. If the phone is in the cradle when it rings, you have to pick it up to see the caller ID. When you pick it up, it answers the phone automatically making caller ID useless.

Sound quality, both receiving and sending is very poor. Makes me think I am using a cheap cell phone. Have used $9 phones that sounded better.

Invest your money in a different brand.

Excellent phone; super price.......2002-05-06

I've had multiple cordless phones over the years, and this has turned out to be by far the best at the best price. Most of my other phones didn't have sufficient volume control for me to hear the caller on the other end. The clarity of this phone is great. I have also found the headset volume and clarity to be good as well. You must read the directions and make sure you do not place it near other electronic equipment, especially a microwave. It is susceptible to interference (as was every other cell phone I've had). Once I moved it, it has performed fabulously. It is light and very easy to program and add numbers. It is also very nice to be able to block ringing of unavailable and private calls.
