Part of the Freedom Phone line of products, Southwestern Bell's FF905 telephone offers cordless convenience and, with the 900-MHz frequency band, provides improved range and clarity over many older cordless phones. Simple, sturdy, and uncluttered, the FF905 uses established analog technology and a well-chosen feature set that's easy to set up, learn, and use. The included instruction sheet reviews the seven buttons and two switches (in addition to the usual 0 through 9, #, and *) that operate the handset.
In our test of the FF905, we obtained a good, low-distortion signal within reasonably close range of the base (about 50 feet), with sound as good as some corded phones. Beyond that distance, the signal began to fade, introducing expected noise and static in proportion to distance. At about 500 feet, the handset lost contact with the base. The performance in range was normal for this class of phone. Oddly, the base did not automatically disconnect when the handset went out of range, so our phone line stayed "off the hook" until we returned the handset to the base several hours later.
Many cordless phones offer a wealth of features that most people never use. The FF905 includes the important ones: 900-MHz cordless operation, memory dialing, and a page function to help you locate the handset. With its straightforward design and high-quality construction, the FF905 represents solid value.
Pros:
- Simple operation
- Good value
Cons:
- Ultilitarian appearance
- Harsh ringing sound

Go with digital.......2001-06-21
Ok, but won't hold a charge.......2001-06-20
Phone failed after less than two months.......2000-06-01
Great phone but picks up a bit too much ambient noise.......1999-11-07
Good, handy, easy to install & use, but no headset jack.......1999-08-13
Moreover, the headset is listed as an accessory for this phone, but I have not yet found a headset jack on the handset or the base where I could plug in the headset that I purchased with the phone as a birthday gift.
