Summary: Can't hear a thing!
Review: I am not hard of hearing, but I cannot seem to hear well on this phone. I have two handsets and they're both the same. I can hear my voice echo back at me like I'm in a well and it's very distracting. In addition, the base handset will receive calls, but I can't get a dial tone to dial out. We've only had the phones for a few months, and I'm really disappointed. I'm online in search of a better phone.

Summary: Not horrible, but not good.
Review: I bought this phone a week ago, and I'll be returning it tomorrow. While the design is nice, the sound quality just isn't good enough. We don't have a microwave or wireless network in the house, we're out in the middle of the woods, so we're not getting interference from neighbor's phones, and the base station was consciously placed away from other electronics, so I expected a very clear voice on the other end of the phone. Unfortunately, this was asking too much; there was way too much hiss on the line, even when only a few feet from the base station.On several occasions, I would hear my voice echo while talking to other people. The speakerphone feature worked pretty well, but the speaker volume seemed to fluctuate. Without speakerphone, I found the volume to be far too quiet.

Summary: Great Phone for the Money
Review: Just pick up this phone and an extra 2600 handset as a bundle for less than $80. I haven't experienced any of the problems mentioned in the other reviews. Voice quality is very good without any interference problem throughout my house. We have 802.11b running on the 2.4GHz band too. They coexist beautifully. While this phone doesn't have the latest features like color screen or multiphonic ring tone, it has the key features that I was looking for namely handset speakphone, handset-to-handset intercom and alphanumeric directory. The phone is compact and light weight, and looks a lot better than any Panasonic phones. It also has an ingenious belt clip that tugs away when not in use. The answering machine's voice quality can be better but this is a universal problem for all these devices with limited memory space.

Summary: Great simple to use phone
Review: This phone has great sound quality (as good as corded)and is easy to operate. Has large buttons also a 'talk' and 'end' buttons instead of some phones that have a single button to answer and hang up, much better design so you don't have to second guess if you have hung up or not. Range is about the same as most 2.4 gig phones, more than the siemens phones. It doesn't techincal features like locking the keyboard nor a alphabetical directory, nor ability to name the handsets for easy paging (like the siemens). If it had these features it would be a five star to me.

Summary: Bad echo in handset
Review: Well, I read the directions and I set up the phone away from appliances. I also had purchased a second handset which I set up on the other end of my ranch house. No matter how I hold the phone, where I talk in the house, outside or inside, I hear my voice echoing back. If it weren't for the echo, I think this would make a great phone. The only reason I purchased this phone is that I have been pleased with my V-Tech 500, but I needed caller ID on the handset. I plan to return my v2656 today.
