horrible phone.......2005-01-12

Thank goodness this was a gift! It lasted only 1 year. The only good things I can say about this phone had was the reception and the remote access to messages.

The cons:
1)The handset: after 8 months, I began to have trouble dialing the numbers and now, if I want to dial a phone number that has a "5" in it, I have to bang it a few times and press it like 10 times to see if I'm lucky enough to get to dial the phone number. Also, I have missed several phone calls since the answer button works whenever it wants.
2) the battery: it doesn't last too long and it doesn't warn you battery is low.

hate this phone, and I especially don't recommend it for anyone with babies or toddlers because this phone can't take the abuse.

For the Price, Good Value........2004-07-25

I have owned this phone for about 6 months. I am impressed with the very intuitive and easy to use layout of this Cordless Phone with Digital Answering Machine. It has excellent voice mail recording volume(settable)and sound. Setup instructions are also in voice and loud and clear.

It also has excellent receive volume(settable) and send volume is loud and clear, according to people I have called.

Voice mail is accessible remotely, when you are away, by calling your number, waiting for voicemail to answer, and entering your access 3 digit code. The phones default is 1,2,3 set at the factory and when you remove power. To set a unique code, pick up on-hook headset, press ANSWER, press * digit, enter 3 digit code, press * digit again. There is a small sticker on my phone on how to set Access Code.

The reason I did not give this attractive, easy to use, and full featured (except for Speakerphone and Caller ID functions)phone 5 stars is the receive voice quality, although loud enough, was not as clear as I expected.

Price is very reasonable. Recommend

Don't buy this phone.......2004-03-07

We've had this phone for over 3 years. We have had several problems with it that started within that first year. Several of the dialing buttons have stopped being responsive, making it almost impossible to dial a number without dialing from another phone and then switching. A lot of times, I have a really hard time hearing people on the phone no matter what I do with the volume. Finally, if we happened to leave the phone off the hook overnight, the next time I tried to use it it was low battery.

I've had no problems with the answering machine - it is simple and easy to use, but I would avoid this phone if possible. I know another couple that bought this phone, and they've been having these same problems even after exchanging it for another one.

Skip It.......2003-07-09

Pros: Nice looking, easy to use, good control from remote phones, feels solid, lasted 2 years and still same as new.

Cons: Occasional bizarre loss of connection with base (needs to be turned face-up in base for 10 seconds to reconnect!), 1 hour talk time between full charges (which is totally unacceptable), very poor message clarity.

I would just pass on this one even though it was relatively cheap for its day.

reliable and simple.......2003-05-15

I used this phone for a little over a year and was very satisfied with it. Just sold it because I'm moving up to the 2.4 GHz frequency. This phone is very simple in appearance and it is very easy to use! If you hold down the Play/Stop button for the answering machine it rattles off all of the instructions for using the phone, so the manual isn't even needed! The sound quality from the handset I have found to be very good. I think there are 5 different levels of volume. The answering machine is clear, but can be a little scratchy but this could be due to the caller's phone as well. Overall, this is a very good phone and I would recommend it to everyone.
