Imagine taking your cordless phone on a walk around the block. Or being able to receive or send calls from the base station or the handset. All with crystal-clear sound quality that has made Sanyo digital spread-spectrum (DSS) phones the leaders in quality cordless telecommunications.
What does DSS technology do? Sanyo's DSS technology is an advanced signal-processing system that virtually eliminates interference and noise while dramatically extending operating range (the CLT-957 can be used up to a mile away from its base station) and improving overall signal clarity. What's more, this revolutionary phone, protected by a sophisticated built-in security system, utilizes 16 million possible codes, making it all but impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on your conversation.
You'll enjoy cordless convenience with all the dependability of a corded phone. If you've ever thought about picking up a cordless phone, this is the one you'll want. In addition to DSS technology, this versatile phone includes a keypad on the base unit and the phone for added calling flexibility, 2-way pager/intercom, illuminated handset keypad, and an AC power protection circuit that keeps the phone active even during AC power outages. Other features include a detachable belt clip, automatic redial, speed dialing, and three-level ringer control.

First, the cons:
1. Lack of a headset jack. Not a big deal, in my opinion, since the handset speakerphone allows you to talk handsfree.
2. No built-in caller ID. Not important to me since I don't subscribe to the service.
3. The large size of the handset. The contoured shape of the handset makes it difficult to cradle against my shoulder (especially with the belt clip on). However, the handset is comfortable to hold against the ear.
4. Styling not sleek as some modern cordless phones(subjective). To me, performance and security is more important than styling, and Sanyo excels in those areas.
Now, the pros (the features that differentiate Sanyo from the average 900MHz cordless phone):
1. Top-notch performance. The speakerphones on the base and handset work great, and the range is unbeatable. There is a barely noticeable echo using the normal handset(not the speakerphone), but this is typical of most DSS phones. According to an article I read, it is an artifact of the spread spectrum technology. Clarity is excellent; no one has yet been able to tell that I'm not on a corded phone.
2. True digital security. Unlike analog phones and the new Panasonic 2.4GHz Gigarange phones, Sanyo DSS phones feature true digital operation. It would be easier for an eavesdropper to tap your phone line than to try to snoop on your conversation with a radio scanner. The digital spread spectrum operation also eliminates interference from other signal generating devices--I have had all of my Sanyo phones on at the same time and experienced absolutly no interference whatsoever.
3. Convenient speakerphone built into the handset. I can't rave enough about this cool feature! No headset to fuss with, all I have to do is push the speaker button and set down the handset for instant handsfree communication. It's great for sharing conversations with other people in the household too.
4. Battery power backup. With most cordless phones, you're out of luck if the power goes out. Sanyo has thoughtfully included AC power failure protection(using 3 AA's), because chances are, those are the times you need a phone the most.
5. Large, backlit dialpad on the handset.
6. Built-in keypad/speakerphone and intercom in the base. Very handy if you need to make a phone call and the handset isn't nearby.
I apologize if I'm starting to sound like a commercial for Sanyo, but I am so pleased with this phone that I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a cordless phone.
