Memorex MPH6995 Cordless 900MHz Phone with Digital Answer Machine/Caller ID

Amazon.com Review
This unit combines just about everything you could want from a phone, including a digital answering machine and caller ID with call waiting, all in one high-quality, beautifully designed unit. As such, this phone is an open invitation to simplify your home answering system.

A wealth of features can sometimes make for troublesome setup, but most of the Memorex's are easy to configure without referring to the owner's manual. The large, intuitive buttons on the base control the digital answering machine. You have the option of using a prerecorded greeting or recording your own. The number of rings can be set to two, four, or toll saver option. In the toll saver position, the machine will answer after two rings only if you have new messages.

When playing back messages, you can repeat, skip, and delete them, and adjust the volume. The delete function beeps if you try to delete a message you have not yet listened to. The memo button allows you to leave a message for someone else in the household. All of the basic features of the answering machine can be accessed remotely.

If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting service, the MPH6995's LCD screen on the handset displays the date, time, and the caller's number and name. The caller ID list stores up to 30 incoming calls, including unanswered calls. You can also store this information in memory. The memory feature allows you to store up to 10 numbers and names that you can easily edit or erase. The caller ID and memory functions are controlled through buttons on the handset. The LCD shows you the available options and provides backlighting for nighttime use. To answer an incoming call-waiting call, just press the flash button.

The MPH6995 has a speaker, a page button to locate the handset, and a channel button to improve your reception. You can also record or have a three- way conversation. Whether you're looking for specialized functions or just a good quality cordless phone, the MPH6995 will meet your needs. --Emily Bakko

Pros:

• Combines several telephone functions in one easy-to-use system
• Large, intuitive buttons
• Sturdy, well-constructed unit

Cons:

• No adjustment for loudness of ringer (which is fairly loud)

Easy and intuitive to use........2002-10-24

I was happy with this cordless phone. I've found this item easy to use and very intuitive to setup. I like the fact that the base unit does not ring, and the phone has nice adjustable rings at differing tones, as well as an OFF. When at considerable distance from base unit, such as the garage and my mailbox by the street, the voice quality is still excellent (although it will at times pick up the kids' voices when they are yelling).

Outstanding.......2002-07-08

On May 31, 2001 we had a house fire which was contained to the attic of the house. Unfortuately the rest of the house was soaked including my telephone answering machine. The handset was full of water and the caller id area looked like a carpenter's level with water rolling around in it. For some reason I decided to pack the phone hoping for the best. While unpacking, after we rebuilt in March 2002, I found the phone and plugged it in overnight. To my surprise not only did the phone work but it retained the last 30 calls received on the caller id. I couldn't believe it! You have me hooked on your telephone products. No one could ask for more out of a product.
Thanks.

Working pretty well for me, but has flaws.......2001-01-10

First the good stuff. It's a great value for the price. The call waiting feature works well, and the sound quality has been fine for me. The answering machine was easy to set up and is easy to use. It's nice that you can have names for people in your speed dial list so you don't have to make a list or remember all the number.

Now, the minor nits... I wish you could check the answering machine from the phone. The process for entering the names of the people for speed dial is very time consuming (although you can grab them from your caller id list). The ringer on the base station is very loud and you can't turn it down (however, the phone also rings, and you can control the volume there). None of these really bother me on a day to day basis, but they are why I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

The Buzzing is real!.......2000-12-10

I purchased this phone because I wanted a relatively simple and reliable cordless phone/answering system with good sound quality. I found that the answering system is easy to use and the sound quality is acceptable (although not excellent). I was very disappointed with the sound quality of the phone itself, however. Like another reviewer, I could hear a very noticable and annoying distortion in the sound which in my case occurs whenever the other party is speaking. This problem showed up after about a month of use. I tried the tricks of changing channels and moving the phone location, to no avail. The phone is currently on its way to Memorex for repair. Based upon this experience, I would not recommend this phone to a friend.

Monitor a Call.......2000-12-02

I just receive this telephone as a gift. The only thing I don't like, neither my wife, is that we can not monitor a new call from the handset. The previous answering machine we had, Bell Atlantic, we were able to monitor and either answer or let the machine pick-up. We do like all the other features this machine has.
