Northwestern Bell 36248-M6 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Digital Answering System (Metallic Gray)

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Northwest Bell's 36248-M2 cordless operates at 2.4 GHz for clearer reception than older cordless phones operating on lower bands could provide. Forty-channel auto-scan ensures crisp reception on the channel with the least interference.

For those who subscribe to the Caller ID service, offered by most local carriers, the phone's handset offers a two-line LCD. Forty names and numbers can be stored in the headset, and there's a new call indicator to let you know when you've missed a call. The phone also features an integrated answering system, which will store up to 15 minutes of messages, and remote operation, meaning that messages can be retrieved from any phone when you're away from home.

In addition, the base and handset can be used as a one-way intercom, letting the user at the base speak to the user of the handset, handy for bringing a spouse in from the garden or a child down for dinner. The 36248-M2 also offers a 10-number memory for frequently dialed friends, as well as redial, mute, volume control, and hearing aid compatibility.

1 out of 5 stars Worst phone ever!.......2003-11-10

For some reason I have kept this phone for 2 years, even though I absolutely hate it. It gets really bad static, which is best remedied by banging it on the counter a few times. I am looking for a replacement now because I can't hear at all most of the time.

1 out of 5 stars Can't Hear!!!..........2002-12-03

I Just returned this phone. I liked the features however, I could not hear who I was talking to. Even with the phone volume on the highest setting, I was not satisfied. My wife also could not hear. We used the phone for two days and returned it.

The search continues.

1 out of 5 stars Nice features, but I can't be heard.......2002-08-11

I bought this phone about 3 weeks ago for the answering machine and a second phone. I can't use the phone though, because no one can hear me when I talk...I am sending the phone back to the company and will never buy a NW Bell phone. Do not buy this phone!!!

1 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this phone.......2002-06-18

This is the most annoying phone ever. Simple tasks are made difficult, with programming codes, etc. It is almost impossible to hear people talking. The volume on the answering machine can not muted. The worst thing of all is that the phone lets out an annoying beep every hour on the hour as it checks for voice mail messages. ** Even if it is free, do not get this phone. **

1 out of 5 stars terrible reception.......2002-06-12

if you would like to be heard by the person you are talking to absolutely do not purchase this phone. It is terrible. It advertises 2.4ghz technology, however my 900hz phone works 10x's better. even if you increase the volume the caller can hear you as a whisper even if you are standing right next to the base. In addition, the answering machine is akward to use.
